Couldn't disagree with you there either.
Although, I could explain a bit more. I think there are just a lot of mentally weak and passively aggresive people in our society. And these were people that were raised in a generation of "there are other ways of teaching lessons......" or "there are other ways of doing or instilling things" from what was done in prior generations.
Maybe it's just me yearning for a time when getting an old fashioned ass whooping and learning from it and turning around and going back at it builds you up, makes you tough, and teaches you to confront your problems head on instead of finding other ways of getting the same result... I don't know. It may be a little nuts. But I don't have children of my own yet so I could definitely be singing another tune once I have them.
