Wow, alot being said here. Fact is so far we've all pointed out different parts of the problem. It' global here in Trinidad & Tobago the same discussion has been raging on.

Parent of yesteryear have some responsibility to take for what they taught us, didn't teach us, lied to us about and misguided us in. But we as adults have to take responsibility for the "CHOICES" we make as adults.

Abuse is different, it's done in rage applied anywhere with the intent of causing bodily emotional harm. Discipline develops character and helps you to make right choices more often than wrong ones Punishment reminds you of your wrong which at times is necessary otherwise we all will continue pleasing ourselves.

Nobody thinks through the chain effect of their actions will have on anybody else and it happens in all stratas of life Justice system accepting bribes giving soft sentences to stone criminals harsh ones to petty offences politicians lying taking bribes etc. We have created this mess because we have pushed light out of our lives and societies and when light goes .........
