But families are crap nowadays, idiots having kids too young (and a lot of them), being uneducated, prone to crime, etc. They started being corrupted by media, and ended up corrupting the next generations from raising. There's a whole demographic that needs wiping. My mom's family is an example of being pulled in different directions, though I'm thankful for that, because I couldn't stand to see some of those in a regular basis. My main problem with the family as a unit is when people start doing wtong to keep family together. If a member of your family does something wrong, it's your duty as a relative to deal with that person appropiately, be it by a spanking or by turning him/her to the cops. Protecting someone to keep the family together is a disgusting practice.
