[QUOTE="sano, post: 558844, member: 8689"] I had a conversation with a buddy about this recently. It is interesting to me how public opinion can change over time. I am not very old (30's) but think about some of the differences in social acceptance between when my parents where raising me and the world I am raising my kids in. Racism, while still an issue we as a country struggle with, we now have a black president, something that would not have been possible back then. Smoking, this one blows me away. It has gone from widespread to almost illegal. From "cool" to being viewed as a weakness. There are alot of other changes and those of you who are a few years more experienced than me could see the changes even better. I agree that the belt my dad used on me could land him in jail in today's world. But, while I don't use as strong of a hand, or for heavens sake a belt, with my children, I also know it was not child abuse. He was just trying his best to make me into a respectful young man.
