I don't see a problem with spanking in very small amounts. However, I believe that spanking with an implement such as a belt or paddle should not only be frowned upon, it should be illegal. Ask yourself this: What is the goal of spanking children? Unless the answer that you come up with is "To inflict as much pain as possible" then you probably shouldn't be focusing on how much you hurt a kid.

Also, you all focus on the "behavior" of a child during the now. Nobody seems to be thinking past the current moment. As far as I can tell, what is important is what the child becomes, not how he/she is acting right now. I understand that they shouldnt be allowed to be complete dicks, but think past the now and give a little thought to what you want your child to be later in life.


Also, I think that spanking causes submissiveness in people. The last thing any society needs is a submissive one, so I am opposed to anything that turns people into submissive morons.
