Having a parenting debate with non-parents is futile because until you ARE a parent, you won't know what it truly means and the responsibilities that go along with it (responsibility to not only your kids, but responsibility to society to ensure your kids aren't going to become hooligans or thugs without any respect for other people or property).

Yeah and I have to be a cop to know that a cop that shoots a handcuffed citizen is a bad cop. I have to be a doctor to know that a doctor who amputates the wrong leg is a bad doctor. I have to be a politician to know what a good law is. I have to be a dentist to know how to brush my teeth. I have to be a football player to know what a good player is. etc
