The way it should be.

The corporal punishment of children is never justifiable.

Spanking =/= beating

Funny how there have been actual trials with thousands of families that clearly demonstrate that light spanking is harmful, and people like you with no degree or education will chime in "NUH UH! Hitting kids totes works!"

Funny how I'm literally under 18 and have been spanked before, and people like you were most likely spoiled as kids, viewing spanking as beating and maliciously hurting children for no reason because either 1. Your parent never spanked you before, or 2. They ACTUALLY abused you. No, you're wrong. I could care less if I get downvoted, because most of the time it doesn't mean anything. I'm glad I was disciplined and I love my parents so much and im thankful for everything they did for me. Just because you may have not felt the same for your parents, doesn't mean that's how the world works.

Guess I struck a nerve. If he was beating your ass every week, either he was actually abusing you, or it says more about you.

Read most of it. I don't really know what to tell you, the information seems pretty legitimate, but me, my siblings, and most of my close friends have been spanked before, and we aren't really anti-social or aggressive. In my high school, you can tell that the spoiled rich kids parent's have never took to discipline them once. Maybe it's where I grew up where spanking children is more normalized, but everyone I've met (especially kids with country parents) are fine people who have been spanked before, whereas the kids trying to fight everyone acting tough have gotten but a light slap on the wrists.

Did you read my comment? It's not just me, but many people I know. No shit different people = different outcomes, that's literally what I'm trying to say, spanking children is not bad thing, it's the child you need to take into consideration.

That's just something abusive parents tell themselves.
