I'll make this real short.  No person should ever have the right to physically harm another person.  When we do this all we are sending is the message that violence can be the solution to a problem.  How can that ever be true.

Yes, and  in our society we can plainly see how "sparing the rod" has made everyone so peaceful and respectful of each other. We have generations of bratty, spoiled , disrespectful children with a sense of entitlement as big as Texas.I have a very strong-minded, intelligent 7 year old "queen in training" and you better believe she gets a swat on the be-hind when she thinks she's in charge and doesn't have to mind me or her father.

So let me get this straight. You think that paddling your child teaches them to be violent? Well how do you explain all these young men and women in prison who have never been spanked in their life? Spare the rod spoil the child. If you don't want to spank your child that is your business but you do not have the right to tell me how to raise my child.

As parents, we have to teach our children that there are consequences to actions.  a pat on the bottom will not leave a child scarred for life.  Beating your child will!  I raised my 2 children with love, patience and understanding.....BUT when they turned into little buggers as children can, a spank on the bottom, or hand followed by a proper time out in the middle of the room, teaches children not to mess with mom and dad. boundaries have to be set. and for the most part "talking" to your child only teaches them to do what they wish because all that will happen is a "talking to" and you know how kids tune us parents out.  My oldest daughter is graduating from University with a degree in history and my son is working towars being self employed.  spanking didnt hurt them, it taught them that mom and dad deserve respect.

There are no absolutes in life. The fact thet spanking is used to infoce discipline does not make it abuse. Abuse is abuse. Ther are terms to define it. Discipline is discipline. It is a tough business. Some times spanking is necessary to teach a childe that ther are some lines that can NEVER be crossed What so ever. parenting is about doing the right thing not only the nice thing.
