Violence won't stop those brats anyway....but they need harsh punishments since their parents were obviously off duty all their lives. Didn't you ever get spanked as a kid? Don't tell me you're one of those parents who discipline by 'talking to them'.
No, I agree that this is "over the line". I, too, would get a good, hard spank when I deserved it (all too often) - and i still believe in strong, fair, consistent punishment.
I don't mean to be insulting, but (just from what I 'know' of you) you seemed to be contradicting yourself by suggesting violence.
