Could not agree more. I still enjoy watching Loony Tunes cartoons and they are very violent in the main.
However one thing I was taught as I grew up was respect. If I played up, I was disciplined. Boundaries were set, though moderately flexible. When I was quite young, I was smacked if I did something dangerous or very wrong.
When I was 17, I back chatted my mother and was slapped across the face for it.
Contrary to what the left leaning hand wringers decreed, my wife and I turned out quite fine, raising our children who were imbued with the same respect for authority, society, laws and their neighbour as I and my wife were.
I see a lot of the issues we see today boil down to one major thing, a lack of respect. A lot of parents simply do not provide a decent upbringing to ensure their offspring can live within society. Instead we have younger individuals who think it is quite fine to king hit, glass or kick someone in the head while they are on the ground, thank you very much.
Hand wringer influenced laws restricting parents to how they can bring their children up are also an issue.
