the corporation - advertisements targeting children

So are you saying it's better to just buy something for your kid to shut him up instead of giving him a spanking? Perhaps people should find a time out chair in the grocery story. Most people I know lack the follow through for the whole time out business, so their children just wind up getting threatened without discipline so their children don't take them seriously.

The root cause didn't originate in the store, the kids attitude is but a symptom. The root is the on going attack against the moral fiber of our society that restricts our rights to train our children as we see fit (certain obvious acceptions applied). This is an on going, "...Nameless War" against western society and more pointedly against Christianity upon which many of our cultural values are based.
So yes, shut him up....for now. But the truth of the lesson needs to be taught,...at home.
