I've heard liberal say that things like paddling humiliates children because others make fun of them or whatever. That wasn't the case when I was that age. If somebody got paddled and came back to the class in tears, you could expect an incredibly well-behaved, quiet class for the rest of the day. It scared the hell out of the other kids.

Over the past 10 years I have seen so many kids that needed a good paddling. Instead, the parents either cave in and "bribe" their kids and buy them whatever they want (which just reinforces their behavior) or they pretend like the kids aren't doing anything (which drives the people around them nuts).
