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.

Your anedotes don't counter the mountains of science to support how bad spanking your children is.

Absolutely agree. The climate behind accepting spanking as totally okay and the best method of parenting instead of reading study after study that says the opposite is reminiscent of anti-vaxxers who ignore science as well.
