What have we become in 50 Years?

Good topic.
There's too much political correctness and over analizing these days.
When i grew up in the '70s, we were taught to respect authority and didn't get away with anything. If you didn't know english, you learned it, if you caused problems in school, your parents took care of it at home.
And you learned from your mistakes because there was consequences.
My parents would have been put in jail for the spankings me and my brothers got back when we were growing up. We never got disciplined if it wasn't called for and we deserved it. (stealing, talking back, disrespect, etc.)
The punishment should fit the crime.
Today? Hah!
