I am sick to death hearing about stories like this. I blame today's children's lack of respect and blatant disregard for anyone else but themselves on parents who practiced "time outs" with their children. These parents didn't want to upset their children and promote a society of violence by spanking their children. Hello??? That is why they have no respect for anyone. Time outs never worked. We, as a society, have failed the latest generation by not instilling a healthy respect (& fear) of their parents.
Spankings work people. Now I am not advocating beating children unmercifully. However, a good attention getter such as a slap on the behind works wonders. I am a child of the sixties (when parents could hit their children without fear of some liberal calling the cops and reporting abuse) and grew up loving my parents and respecting society in general. I was spanked on occasion (although not as much as I probably deserved). After a couple of spankings, just the threat alone was enough to put me back on the straight and narrow path. Spare the rod, spoil the child!
I am sick and tired of hearing every minority group complain about how they were treated and expecting the US Government to apologize for their plight. Slavery and the Indian injustices happened many years ago. No one alive today had anything to do with it. Why should companies or governments be required to pay money to decendents of those people. The Irish had it as bad or worse than anyone when they came to America. They were treated worse than the slaves because the slaves were valuable property and the Irish were not.
The Irish succeded and flourished because of hard work and determination. The Romans couldn't destroy them, the English couldn't destroy them and the Americans couldn't destroy them. They prospered despite that. Let that be a lesson to all other minorities. No one owes you anything. Go out and work for it! Erin Go Braugh! Happy St Patrick's Day!
