    you will never get everyone to agree on this. I spanked my son and he is a wonderful young man. I was abused at times but I was also spanked as a child and I know the difference and there is a difference. For some kids, time out works. For some kids, you can look at them wrong and they tow the line. I know some kids that NOTHING works. I do not see anything wrong with it.. spanking not abuse..spanking does NOT cause a child to grow up to be violent.. that is bull. I work with kids in school that are violent who apparently have had NO discipline of any sort and all you have to do is talk to their parents and you know that. If you spank a child and the behavior stops, it's effective discipline.

    • not only an intelegent opinion, but one from a source who sees the evidence.

    • not everyone agrees with you. parents will blame everyone.. the school, the teacher, the babsitter, everyone but themselves if the kid misbehaves but what do we know right? We have them 1 hours a day 5 days a week 200 kids a day.. it's our fault.

    • did you watch "the baby borrowers"? the teenager episode? the kid who was the most out of control, his mom tried to say he did not act like that around her and he told her infront of them and the camera that yeah he did and you could see in her face she was not going to do anything about it.

    • I did not see that. When did it come out. Is it new. maybe it will be on TV soon and I can see it. I don't have a DVD player so I don't know that I will be able to but I would love to see it. I think every parent should have to work in the classroom for at least 1 week and it would open up some eyes.

    • It was a TV series. the advertisments were "it's not reality TV, it's birth control" they took some teen couples (I believe fresh out of highschool) gave them a house a job basicaly as ideal a situation as you can get and gave them kids. 3 days with infants, 3 with toddlers, then preeteens then teens it was awesome. not one of the couples lasted. some of the girls were saying while this was hell, it would not be like that with their kids... stupid people.

    • I don't know how many sore bare bottom spankings (most/every spanking I remember was bare bottom) I got from both of my parents. I know I needed each & everyone I got and I deserved all of them (when I was little & getting them and to this day)! I deserved the number of spanks I got for each spanking and the pain I felt from each and every spank was very well needed during each of my spankings I got & needed & deserved and I felt lots of pain each time I got each spank during my spanking! Ouch! I can remember my bottom was very sore & painful for awhile after each of my spankings I got! I looking back, wasn't an awful bad kid, but if I were my parents, I would have given more me more needed spankings than my parents gave me! I got more spanks if I tried to avoid getting them, knowing I was going to get a spanking & more I got & more painful if I tried avoided them. The more you avoid trouble, more trouble you're in. Yet, I knew when I or if I had done wrong, I'd still got a sore spanking, I still pushed my parents buttons! I don't know why I pushed buttons, knowing I'd get a sore bottom spanking & even more if I tried to avoid getting them, when it was time for my sore bottom spanking! I'd cry about getting them and I'd cry before they gave me my first spank during my spanking! I hated my sore bare bottom spankings, but I knew I was not abused, I was being taught a lesson and I knew why I was getting one, I went beyond being bad & used all my warnings before hand, and I needed & was being taught wrong from right. My parents love me and I thank them for every spank & spanking they ever gave me and it's made me a better person! I can still remember my buns being sore & hating spankings! I'd do same w/ my kids in a heart beat. Times verbal talk needs more discipline for certian situations and spankings are a must! If spankings don't really hurt bad (not in abuse, I wasn't abused),then it becomes a game and concept & reason for spanking isn't learned! No abuse, but bottoms need to be spanked on the bare skin to get the lesson learned! No pain, no gain!

    • Only people that believe in spanking find a difference between spanking and abuse. This is because it is convenient to them. Any mentally healthy person would not approve of that. No matter what the spankers say.

    • only people that don't believe in spanking find no difference between spanking and abuse. this is because it is vital to hold their opinion. any mentaly healthy person would not approve of placing their crusade above the evidence no matter what the long since discredited Dr Spock says.

      you call spanking abuse.... maybe I should call not spanking gross neglect. mentaly healthy people are actualy able to acknowledge that having opinions different from their own does not constitute mental ill health.

    • I Was not expecting you to not defend yourself. Everyone does that, when they feel threatened. Especially when they know deep down that they are wrong.

    • and I was not expecting you to not use deflection to avoid the invalidity of your argument. those who cling to their crusades always make up that type of BS when reality and modern psychologists have all proven that they are wrong.

      you have not used any ethos or logos to support your claim. you just express your emotional opinion and treat it as though it is undeniable fact. do the world a favor and get your tubes tied because children whos parents refuse to look at their results so they can adapt to the childs developmental needs raise the worst brats and even produced the columbine kids. children need discipline, and for some spanking is hte only effective tool.

    • too bad only people who are determined to spank think of it spanking as effective.

    • too bad you are wrong again and just committed the falacy of reverse causation.
      only those who think spanking is effective spank. and I have spoken to many people who say they do agree spanking is effective on many children but they did not use it as other methods were effective with theirs... not all nonspankers are brainwashed antispankers like yourself.
      you see. what you spout is opinions and theories about what parents should do and you have not looked at the evidence or results of those theories. educators, which are typicaly a liberal group, statisticaly deviate from the liberal platform on spanking and generaly believe many children need to be spanked more. why might educators, who spend so much time with children deviate from other liberals on this? http://www.newsmax.com/US/spanking-studies-children-spock/2010/01/07/id/345669
