I think I should be able to apply and be allowed to slap one person a day. It could be like a punch card.

Examples:
I work in a cubicle and will put in my headphones, may or may not listen to anything, so people will leave me alone so I can get done what I need to. It never fails the guy next to me will need help. Or "what are we doing for lunch?" I get along with him, it's just sometimes he is rather annoying. This morning we were talking about what we did when we got home. I told him I had to replace a part on my water pump, and finished about 3 minutes after it started pouring. 20 minutes later he asks if I got any rain out my way....

I think since so many parents do not teach their kids how to act I should be allowed to pop those kids. We were in a buffet this past weekend, and my wife comes back and tells me about this girl (probably 9 or 10 years old). My wife said there was a line of about 25 or 30 people working their way around the buffet. Everyone seemed nice and polite, well this girl walks up to an older woman (probably 70 years old) and says "Excuse you." See I think that kid needs an attitude adjustment. If my daughters ever did that I would have a major problem, and my daughters would know they did wrong.

I hear ya! We took my 77 year old mom to the China buffet last week. While waiting in the dessert line, a kid butts in front of her, grabs a plate and fork, proceeds to drop the fork on the floor and then puts it back in the tray and gets himself a clean one! And the father is standing there watching and never says a word.
You see it more and more every day, kids aren't being taught manners and respect for their elders. Another reason why teachers have a hard time teaching and disciplining the students; the teachers end up getting an earful from the parents.
 
I think Socrates said it best when he complained about how the younger generation was being raised.

In some ways I agree with the smack. Problem is those who need the smack the most are the ones it is wasted on. You can't fix stupid no matter how many times you smack them.

I grew up where the community did raise the child. If a child was rude and the parents did not call them on it, some one did. I still do it. If a child cuts, or does something else rude I call them on it. 9 times out of ten they were just being a kid and honestly not thinking. Oh my god, a child acting without thinking! What is this world coming to!
 
Haynie it's not about kids being rude and not paying attention. MY youngest gets excited about something and might bump into someone there, but I make her apologize / say excuse me. There is a huge difference. 4 years old my daughter knows to wait in line take her turn etc. There is no excuse for being 10 and not having that ability.
 
When my son was about 10 years old we had some renters move into the house next door. The kids were hellions....dog manure in the mailbox, catsup smeared on the side of out house, etc. We were backing out of out driveway and these two little kids about 7 or 8 years old were standing on the street shouting obscenities at us. My son turned to me and asked "Mom why do they act like that?" I told him it wasn't the kid's fault. They behaved like that because their parents had never smacked their behinds and taught them to behave. We drove a few blocks and he reached over and touched my arm. He said "Thanks, mom." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
