not saying that what this dude did was the right way of going about things, because I don't think it was, but discipline that results in fear of the parents is a good thing and pretty much necessary, as far as im concerned. i remember my old man telling me when i was young, "i'm not here to be your best friend, i'm here to be your father." i had the fear of god in me if i knew i !%+%*# up and he was on his way home. i never got straight beat up with anger or malice, but disciplined hell yea. my moms treated me the same way. by the time i was 11 i didn't need anything more than a stern glance because i knew that the wrath of zeus would be unleashed if i stepped out of line in the least. now that i'm older our relationship has changed and we speak on a man-to-man level, but i think that fear is needed in raising children. gives wildin young kids some damn respect. can't be having your kids think they're the boss, end up on dr. phil or some ricky lake type nonsense.
