Sorry CQ, I'm by no means saying teachers should beat the kids. My point was, that back in the day that's how kids were corrected. (Not really by a yard stick) Now days, if someone sees you grab your kids arm at Walmart to correct them, they're on the phone. I think this world is gonna be hurtin in years to come with the way some kiddos are brought up now. And all the childhood illnesses they are covering up with medicine drives me crazy!!!!! These were never heard of when I was younger. IMHO it's a lack of discipline. I knew before I did something right or wrong, I had to ask myself "Is this worth an ass whoopin from the Old Man?" I think some good discipline and a stern talkin to go a lot farther than a pill to calm them down. Stepping down now. Sorry if I got your feathers ruffled, that was not my plan.CarolinaQue wrote:I remember them also. But no one is going to hit my child in the face with a yard stick, or any other object including a hand just because they weren't from around them parts. Especially if they didn't know how things were done or had them explained to them properly and respectfully. Respect is a two way street, even in regards to children. If you think that is acceptable, then I'm glad times are changing. BTW...I never said that my kids haven't had their share of butt-whoopins, but no one is hitting them in the face with a yard stick and getting away with it on my watch!!!SmokinFF wrote:My how times have changed!!!

I have a friend that is known to "put a quarter in you to get you to talk" by asking an openended question like "So, what about the Raiders?" and then he stops talking hoping that you will answer with the first thing on your mind.....
Here's my attempt....
So, what about GMO? (genetically modified organisims)?
ok, a little more than that. The stuff that Monsanto and others do to your food at the genetic level that conspiracy theorists say causes the diseases that have sprung up since the 70's.
