That’s what is missing from this generation of kids

There is no real consensus! Back in the 60-70s even the 80-90s. You misbehaved you usually got your daddy’s belt on your bottom. But you learned to behave jails was less populated. Nowadays this doesn’t happen nearly enough and you have kids ruling their parents and putting a stain on society. These videos and electronics is controlling these kids.

Yes, I’m sure society is degrading because parents aren’t physically assaulting their children enough.

Couldn’t possibly be because there are 8 billion people on the planet… or the street drugs… or the men of this generation acting like women… or the spike in untreated Mental illness…or the fact we can now we can see all the evil that happens everyday in real-time… or the fact that their education has been completely disrupted by the constant threat of a school shooting, and shut down by a pandemic for 2 years… or the strong influence of dopamine-flushing social media apps like tik tok and instagram…

No, it’s because we don’t physically assault our children anymore. You’re so right.

@SW-User I see people my age who applaud their parents for having beaten the sh** out of them. As if they would have ended up mass murderers without parents inflicting this brutality. Bunch of nonsense. There is usually no reason to physically attack children.

@graphite “my parents beat me I turned out fine”

“Do you think it’s acceptable to physically assault children? If yea, you didn’t turn out fine”

@SW-User It's easier to applaud the battering, years afterward, than admit parents got it wrong. Parents who may not be around anymore.

@graphite I dunno. I’m still working through a lot of anger so it’s difficult for me to see things that way

@SW-User Me, too. But my parents have been dead for years so there's no opportunity to discuss it with them.
