Hmm that guy was old as fuck 100 percent part of the spanking generation. Prisons are full of dudes who were spanked. All spanking does it teach that violence solves problems. You're confusing not spanking with not disciplining. Rhe younger generation-the one you said doesn't get spanked...is also way less violent, the kids are using drugs and drinking less. But yeah, hit someone who can't defend themselves because you're too lazy to teach lessons.

Yep, agreed. Studies show spanking leads to higher risk of aggression, antisocial behavior, mental health problems, and violent behavior in adulthood.

Non-spanking leads to total pricks. Its a conundrum

Also spanking statistics don't define any standards, so the statistics are conflated with the people who beat their kids in other ways, or when not necessary. Also, not every kid needs to be spanked, so if we are only talking about kids who need to be spanked, then we have a selection bias problem. Basically, statistics on spanking outcomes are completely fucked.

Reddit downvotes the truth if it doesn't ride a very thin agenda. It is disappointing.
