I think the hippie generation, for the most part, messed up with things with they're "peace and love" stuff. Spank a child: it teaches them that there are bad consequences to things! Now, do you have to spank every child? No. I know a girl that all you had to do was say her middle name and if she had done something wrong she'd start bawling. But should you never spank any child? I don't think that's right either. I'd guess that 75% of the world's young people now are completely undisciplined and are doomed to fail thoroughly at life, and I'm not referring to failing forward either for those that would try to use that term against me.

Oh, but I would protest shooting them with paintballs as punishment: seems a wee bit excessive
