It can be good if used judiciously. If properly applied it is a punishment that rarely needs be actually utilized.

 I am a proponent of the Theory of Reason, with which I raised my own offspring, most SUCCESSFULLY I might add.

I developed my theory when I WAS a youngster, and vowed to apply my theory to any future offspring which would proceed from my womb in some way off future time, which happened just that way, I might add.

That Theory Of Reason?

Was, that Children, have a very good clear mind and if you but speak to them thoroughly on any given subject, explain without dumbing down to them never speak down to a child, be respectful to the child and the child will behave beautifully no disciplinary problems there.

And so it was in my own experience much later as an adult I became a Mother, and rasied my own son by my theories, he is Exceptional, Outstanding in all ways.

His life and personality are a supreme reflection of this very accurate Theory of mine.
As are his grades in College,,,,as was his grades and Behaviour all through his schools. On report cards too.

Kind, but Firm. That's the ticket;-)

I agree. Kids need discipline. And when its done in love and done properly, the child will appreciate it when they get older. I know I do. I am very proud to say that my parents loved me enough to do the hard task of spanking their son.

I agree but with the important clarification that the spanking should be a last resort, and justified, and not cause physical harm.

Sure, I was spanked a few times, and I knew other kids who really really needed to be spanked and somehow were not. So I'm not against spanking. But then I know another person who was spanked far too regularly and unfairly and quite frankly she's emotionally scarred. So do it, but do it fairly and as a last resort. An example of fair -- the kid is hucking rocks in the face of old people on the street, thinks it's a riot, and says they don't have to listen to you. Well a timeout isn't going to sober up your little rock chucker. That's spanking time.

I agree with this because I was spanked a lot till I was 10 and now I am a honor student and I hardly get into any trouble because after I turned 11 I realized that when I do something wrong pain comes, so I stopped doing things that were wrong.

Yes I agree as well that sometimes kids need a healthy smack or two to keep them "in line", and the absence of corporal punishment has caused many brats to run wild.

But there's a lot of stupid, mean people that take it too far, and get carried away. So the government has to step in at this point and define the difference between "keeping the kid in line", and abuse.

And when parents abuse mind-altering substances like alcohol, things can get very dysfunctional very quickly.

I was wacked by my father.. But my mother was a get to bed and lay on that bed till i tell you, you can get up. Hitting leads to aggression period. Laying on that bed while the kids were out playing on a summer day was torture.. Given the option to take that fast beating over hours on that bed... Spank me... Get it over... I will suck up my tears.... But please don't torture me with this boredom.

I saw a local female (I resist calling her a woman, as I was very Unimpressed by Her methodology),

BEATING HER KIDS outside in her lawn in the middle of the day, as i walked by to go to the store to buy my son who was sick at home with something respiratory in the viral-department, in bed sick, so I was walking to the store the weather very permitting, and I was on the other side of the street, as I walked by, she was CUSSING THESE WERE SMALL CHILDREN her children I am assuming, flogging, and spanking, and beating them, cussing them, they were blubbering and miserable children!
All the way up the yard to the residence.....she was a obese, slovenly, creature......I was deeply tempted to go remove those poor children from her so-called-care so much....
Poor children....:-(
A terrible Harridan such as herself for a Nurturant.....:-(

That is what is wrong with the world as we know it.

I am against the neglect and abuse of children.
I vote NO.

Dare to resist drugs, Domestic Violence, and immorality.
