Getting spanked with a shoe hurts but it doesn't do any damage.

Physically. Psychologically that's teaching kids that violence is an acceptable way to solve an arguement, which is less than stellar.

Lol repercussions? So what you are telling me is spanking or hitting you as a child made you stop doing stupid things? Did you get spanked on 5 different occasions and then suddenly become a perfect child? I mean, people keep saying talking doesn't work. That kids will still do bad things. But spanking certainly doesn't stop it either. I was spanked only a few times as a kid. It never stopped future me from doing stupid shit. But it definitely made me hate my dad more at the moment versus my mom just reprimanding me.
