What's wrong with spanking?

When I was growing up (and I'm in my late 20's) there was nothing wrong with spanking your kids. Didn't matter if you were at home, in public, or even at school. If you were being a brat you were going to be spanked. Even in grade school our principle would spank the bad kids. Also any family friend or relative would spank you if you were out of line.

I see so many horrible kids now, you know the kids I'm talking about, the ones that are screaming at the top of their lungs in the store and don't get me started about the ones running around planes. If my kids are that bratty and out of control the last place I would take them is in public. But parents now just ignore them and let them continue to scream and talk back. I don't know which is the worse in the situation the parent or the kid.

I say we bring back spanking and if I give you a dirty look in Walmart because your kid is screaming then don't think I'm the bad person, because YOU ARE for letting your kid act that way!
