personally, i dont think that hitting kids is a good thing beyond a point. i was one of the abused kids, and i turned out ok, but im gonna be fucked up in the head for the rest of my life. i think spanking with a bare hand and not hitting to the point of bruising is fine, but no smacking, punching, belts, etc. also, one thing that can make a kid wish he hadnt done anything is lectures. my dad used to lecture me for an hour, and i would pray he would just spank the hell out of me and let me go to my room. either way, there are gonna be the kids who wont respond to this. also, you have to back it up with TLC, or it doesnt matter. there can be kids who get whipped with extension cords, but if they dont get any compassion, they are gonna be bada$$#$ anyway. oh well, im not gonna have any kids any time soon, and i hope that the situation isnt worse than it is now. next thing you know, you'll call your kid an idiot, and go to jail for mental abuse.
