Blame it on the lazy parents who never taught their kids manners and respect for authority. That has nothing to do with hitting them. In fact, I would wonder if the violent kids weren't raised by violent parents.

Well said. I am strongly against hitting or spanking children. I feel it is the lazy parents way out. I know a lot of people who never spanked their children and they are the most upstanding, smart, and respectable kids that I know. Discipline without spanking takes time, creativity and self control and I believe that a lot of parents these days don't have that. Violence begets violence.
