Last time a 12 year old got mad in my house, the 12 year old got soundly spanked … of course the 12 year old was not making “millions”, not that would have made a difference!!

Old fashion guy, old fashion family … with old fashion ideals.

I don't know. It seems to me that a girl angry that strangers were attacking her mother is quite right and old-fashioned. Family honor, respect, all that.

As far as punishing someone for being mad, I suppose it depends on why they were mad and how they acted on it. There is such a thing as righteous anger.
