        I was raised with corporal punishment and I respect my elders and NEVER talk back to those in authority. Plus I strive to live a kind life to others— These values instilled and reinforced in me from an early age

        I've found spanking to be for the person doing the spanking not the one being spanked.

        Agreed..spankers are expressing their own anger, and frustration. "This is gonna hurt me more than you..." is total BS.

        Really? After a spanking the last thing I wanted was to earn another one

        I myself am old fashion. I believe in spanking. If kids these days got spankings like when I was little, kids wouldnt be so corrupted today.I also feel there is a way to and not to spank. Spanking teaches kids there are consiquences to their actions.

        @StormCat9 that's great you never were spanked and turned out fine but it's naive to think it doesn't work EVER! I was spanked and I can tell u it worked for me! So who's right?

        This is why I question psychiatrists all the time. Spanking, all the time, frequently is ineffective BUT if used as a last last resort along with reasoning, love and communicating with the child it is highly effective.

        Don't make this all or nothing non sense. And no, I am not a spanking advocate. When I say as a last resort I mean maybe, maybe you end up spanking them 3-5 times in their entire lifetime. You always communicate and explain first.

        Teaching a child that violence is an option at all is not good for society or the child but that is my opinion.

        I think spanking is sometimes necessary because it teaches that some things are shameful and reprehensible, like stealing. I can't think of anything else that would effectively substitute the emotional message that spanking gives.

        There is a difference between spanking and absuse.
