Also, technology hasn't improved anyones lives. Don't give in to these electronic/computer companies. Technology and free media (internet) has basically ruined capitalism (example: the US right meow), helped create families who instead of interacting in their homes are each on their own laptops in separate rooms, ruined english prose and short term memory in children/adults, and if an apocalypse occurs, everyone will be so outrageously F-ed that they would die within 2 weeks.
Hitting our kids didn't create respecting and well mannered/behaving kids. Good and attentive parents did. Still are today. I've never been hit by either of my parents but I still respect the shit out of people. Just the way I was taught by the people who surround me. Especially my grandpa (just threw him a party for his 60th wedding anniversary).
I'd argue that there are just as many in shape people (probably more) than there has ever been. The same is true for complete fat asses though. Being in incredible shape as well as being incredibly huge and out of shape is easier and more convenient than ever.
Taking orders is something that I'm glad we're getting away from. Questioning the logic and reasoning of something isn't disrespectful unless it's done with disrespect. If someone tells me to do something and I ask why I'm not rude/disrespectful I'm trying to learn something or trying to teach them something (eg: "But why would I go to that recycling center Dad? There's one ten miles closer")
