Reply to comment by Particular_Ad3204 in The Mall in Columbia will require chaperones for minors on weekends by f1sh98

People also need to be free to make mistakes and do things they'll regret later. It's how we learn.

And other people, even minors, have a right to exist in public. If you ask me, the only asshole here is you.

You are right, as kids we learned really well at the end of a belt. Some may say that it's child abuse. I say they are wrong there is discipline and child abuse. Putting our kids in time out are we teaching them that you do wrong you just get put away for a while w/ 3 squares and a cot? That's what happens in jail.... And then some!

I say bring back corporal punishment at home. Our parents were right in giving us well deserved whoppings and making sure we understood what we did wrong when we got them. Now adays you do wrong, you get rewarded. What's to learn?

With all due respect if corporal punishment made you what you are then I’m going to avoid it at all costs…

If you want to make others suffer because you suffered and "turned out ok" - you didn't actually turn out ok.
