You're obscuring. Good debate technique as long as you don't get caught. Sorry to be the one to catch you.
See, you list two seperate situations and then try and convince the masses that the two situations are in fact one and the same.
You say "I can point out a lot of kids who aren't subject to physical punishments and are horrific little brats with no respect for rules."
Then you say
"lack of consequences breeds lack of respect."
Because your second statement is obviously true, you are desperately hoping that people will link that to the horrific little kids, and then link those two to the statement about kids who aren't subject to physical punishements.
Two of your statements talk about a child who receives no discipline whatsoever. The other one attempts to convince us that the solution to this is to spank the child. You neglect to mention that there are non physical punishements out there - you hope we'll forget that.
In short, your argument doesn't measure up.
