Come now, the world is drowning in 'political correctness'. I was brought up by the leather belt, and trust me, when other kids were out smoking / shoplifting / theiving push-bikes, I was right there!!! No I'm kidding, the fear of that belt, kept me well clear of that sort of thing.
But many around me did not have a 'father figure' to prevent such idle acts of vandelism and theft, so maybe it was a good thing???
Oh, and if you knew you were 'in for it', life was hell.
So if I have kids, I think they 'won't sit down for a week' if I catch them up to no good. I trust there may be many who disagree with me.
... but I'd like to know from those who had physical punishment - did it stop you getting up to crazy stuff?
I never smoke, got wailed for drinking at 14yrs once, and attended school everyday, (except for two times).
So it must be a good thing, right?
