Apart from any youthful masochists skulking around, the youths of today and yesterday prefer pleasure to education, as will the youths of tomorrow. There are however those prudent youths who are conscious of the necessity to forfeit some of their recreational time in the pursuance of education and the attainment of recognised academical qualifications which will be vital in securing the top salaried professional positions. The juvenile lotus eaters of today will be the resentful refuse collectors of tomorrow, metaphorically speaking.

There is absolutely nothing new. Youths of yesteryear have preferred personal pleasure over education. Heck even as an adult if I'm given the choice I would want to chose just about anything over studying something that I find boring.

Of course our youth will do whatever adults allow them to do. When the so called Liberal progressive movement came along, they told parents not to spank their children. Talk about morons! Is there any wonder why parents have lost control of their children? That is if the children even have both parents at home.

Youth are no different than grown ups. if you give them a free ride in life, THEY WILL TAKE IT!

Are you implying that you are incapable of controlling your children without physically striking them?

That's bad parenting right there.

There was NO implication. Simply using spanking is not bad in and of itself. Are YOU implying that my father and his father before him, were bad parents. Now who is out on the edge?

When was the last time you hit an adult to get them to behave properly?

Why do you use the word "hit"? Are you a moron? Most sane people do not think it is ok to hit their child. Do you know the difference between spanking and hitting? of course you do but like all good Liberals you must twist and lies and distort any issue to make your sick Liberal ideology seem ok.

No one spanks adults because they have reached the age of reason whereby they have been taught right from wrong. From here on in it is up to them how they live their lives and law enforcement will be the discipline. People like you would rather a kid ends up in jail, or take drugs, or whatever verses being spanked. It's amazing your lack of wisdom.

We are seeing the total lack of discipline in public schools today because of children never spanked when being disrespectful.

Now spew some biased study of how kids today are just as respectful as they were 50 years ago. GET REAL!

Children have always preferred fun and pleasure to education, that is hardly new.

I focus on education so that I can get a really good-paying job so that I'll have more money and time to focus on pleasure :D

Well if you vote for Democrats, all that hard earned money will be redistributed to young adults who spend ALL their time in the pursuit of pleasure. I hope you learn quickly before electing control freaks who think they have the right to redistribute our money.

"all that hard earned money will be redistributed to young adults who spend ALL their time in the pursuit of pleasure. " And you base this on what evidence?

Thankfully I was spanked as a child and not a year goes by where I don't thank my father for spanking me and teaching me accountability for my actions and teaching me to respect authority. I have done well in life from those first simple messages. I'm very thankful for having a Father not brainwashed by Liberalism. I learned that discipline such as spanking is the most important thing any parent could do for their children. I spanked my son ONE time when he was around four years old. Guess what? I never had to spank him again. That simple spank taught him everything he needed to know about authority and respect. My daughter took a few more spankings to get the message:)

There is no coincidence that since Liberal thought has permeated this nation our children have much less respect for authority. That is because of bleeding heart Liberal fools who have the common sense wisdom of a fence post.

What do many of these new age Progressive parents teach their children? They want to be buddy buddy with them so they let them go to parties where they know there will be drinking. They actually give them condoms just in case they might need it. Some actually let their kids sleep with their boy friends and girl friends in their own house so they can keep a closer watch on them. ARE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MINDS?

Your ideology is totally screwed up. You have such hate for the mention of morals, you can't even raise your kids with traditional moral values where sex is suppose to wait for love and commitment, not hooking up in a bar.

"Thankfully I was spanked as a child and not a year goes by where I don't thank my father for spanking me and teaching me accountability for my actions and teaching me to respect authority."

Do you think one can not teach respect for authority and accountability without spanking a child?

"I'm very thankful for having a Father not brainwashed by Liberalism."

It's a shame he didn't teach you to have an open mind to differing opinions and ideas.

"There is no coincidence that since Liberal thought has permeated this nation our children have much less respect for authority" Liberalism has permeated our nation from the very beginning, so I am not sure what exactly you are referring to.

"That is because of bleeding heart Liberal fools who have the common sense wisdom of a fence post."

You should try to post without insulting people.

"What do many of these new age Progressive parents teach their children? They want to be buddy buddy with them so they let them go to parties where they know there will be drinking." That is one type of "progressive" parenting, and not one that is embraced by anywhere near all liberals.

"They actually give them condoms just in case they might need it. Some actually let their kids sleep with their boy friends and girl friends in their own house so they can keep a closer watch on them. ARE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MINDS?"

Just to let you know, states where schools adopt this policy have LOWER rates of teen pregnancy. Substantially so.

"Your ideology is totally screwed up. You have such hate for the mention of morals, you can't even raise your kids with traditional moral values where sex is suppose to wait for love and commitment, not hooking up in a bar." Just because one has opinions that differ from yours, does not mean they "have such hate for the mention of morals" (which doesn't really make sense).
