Attitudes like that are fueling disorder in this country!

I think I would rather live in a society where people considered others because they cared about others, rather than because they were cowed with the fear of being hit by others. 

I think so too Martin - though probably like a fair percentage in my generation and generations before, I was smacked for being naughty. I don't think it did me any harm (I'm a fairly 'well adjusted' lass now    ) - but it doesn't really mean it was the right thing to do. Its now seen as a form of bullying or abuse, but back then it was getting your 'Comeuppance' for doing something wrong. Different times though eh....
