    Did you cop the cane or the ruler at school?

    As the old saying goes, “Spare the rod spoil the child.” Nothing is more apt and true in todays age. Children and young adults of today have never been given discipline appropriate for their behaviours. Whilst I admit that some sadistic parents, caregivers and teachers back in “my day” (60s and...

    Outrage erupts after Woolworths shopper photographed breaking societal rules

    There is no greater joy in life (in my opinion) than going barefoot. People did it for generations and it was considered “The Norm”. You don’t wear shoes at the beach or at the pools, do you?

    Did this Aussie parking inspector commit an illegal road act or was it a misunderstanding? Here's what the council has to say

    This little-known road rule could cost you a $600 fine

    The whole issue of being fined for having something in your hand whilst driving is nothing more than a massive revenue raiser! Fair enough if you have both hands off the wheel or you are not looking where you are going, (including texting whilst driving), but can someone please explain to me...

    Today hosts get real about smacking (or not smacking) their kids

    I believe that every child needs to learn that there are consequences for bad behaviour. A well placed smack on the backside is usually enough for a child to learn right from wrong. There is a vast difference between a disciplinary open-handed smack and out-and-out physical abuse, (the kind that...
