First of all, let’s face it. Respect from our youth today just does not exist. Even the Police are scared to say too much to them. And they certainly won’t touch them without a damn good reason. I can remember being caught by a policeman for pinching Apples. He took me around the corner, gave me a clip around the ear, and then took me home. I was guaranteed another slap from the old man ( Dad ). But these days if you carry out a more serious crime and get caught, you might get a caution. The only slap you get from your dad is for getting caught. I believe this loss of respect began the minute they took corporal punishment away from the Schools. I say ” bring back corporal punishment to start with followed by a compulsary Two year term in the Army ” . I am not saying all kids are bad, just the majority.
