Question

Help answer this question below.

When you were a kid (living at home) did you get spanked or otherwise physically "punished" (including beaten) when your parents thought you did wrong? Do you think those spankings/beatings/punishments really made you a better adult?

    Yes, my parents used to smack the hell out of us.
    Cracks up side the head, thrashings with belts, slaps, gnashing of teeth (LOL), and countless death threats! I don't know what the effect was, because I have no way of knowing how I would have turned out otherwise. All I know is that I don't feel anywhere near that much anger toward my own kids. I am much calmer when they do something "bad" for want of a better term, and it is very rare for me to feel a need to smack them.

    All through school also, we were regularly beaten by teachers in New Zealand, (it only stopped in senior high school) they used thick leather straps on our hands from the age of 5 until the age of 12, after which we were caned on the ass with bamboo, 6 times on the same spot. The experts knew how long it took from the initial numb-shock until the pain hit, and they'd time their strokes to coincide with that pain. Total sadists!!
