I want to tell some parents "Hey your kid won't melt if you tell them 'no', 'be quiet' or 'sit down'." Yet another reason I dont' want kids...
And what's wrong w/ respecting older people? While it freaks me out when high school kids call me "ma'am" I know that 9 times out of 10 they won't give me any lip or problems. It used to be a mark of honor to get old.

YOu're absolutely right about kids today lacking discipline. Hell I dont even think they get assigned enough homework anymore if any at all. Discipline needs to expand to all areas i think not just "corrective discipline." I also agree about your non-spanking reasoning.
I used to ride the city bus to campus when i went to UK. It was nothing at all for me to give my seat up for an elderly lady or gentleman, who were most grateful. I woudl get looks from those my own age like "I cant believe you gave up your seat!" What ever has happened to common courtesy???
