I can see what you are saying here and can somewhat agree with you... Those parents who were "beaten" as kids for not behaving now have kids and they don't believe in discipline and that their kids will obey them because they don't get spanked and are treated as equals right?
But lets consider this, the ones who are now parents learned right and wrong along with respect among many other things through discipline and they went on to grow up, graduate high school, get and hold a job and basically how to be a productive member of society.
Now they have kids and don't want their kids to feel the back of a hand. These are the kids that we read about today, 12 yr old kids gang raping 8 yr old kid. 13 and convicted of a triple homicide in a drive by shooting or worse yet, the victim of that homicide because they were left to make their own decisions and knew they would face no consequences from their parents or anyone else. They have a complete lack of respect for any type of authority, be it a parent, law enforcement, teacher or even the old neighbor from down the street.
