Corporal punishment was banned and now smoking is a 'good' thing. If only that was all they did. Now schools deal with guns, drugs, violence against the teachers and it is so bad, the schools have to maintain a police force in an attempt to keep things civil. I imagine that it is mostly the younger posters that are against corporal punishment because, they never had the opportunity to observe first hand the effectiveness of corporal punishment.
1. Since when did smoking become a good thing?
2. Your hypothesis of who voted what is based on nothing more than just that, your imagination. I reckon that the people who vote against it do so because there are other alternatives and they see no need for corporal punishment. Not because they are 'young'. Age doesn't really have anything to do with it IMO.
