Of children, that is.

This comes up tangentially in various debates, and I figured it might make for interesting conversation.

So - in favor of spanking, opposed as a matter of preference?  Should it be limited/prohibited/required by law, or left to the parents to decide?

Discuss.

As long as it isn't excessively used, it is ok. Like a few hits if something bad was done. But no beating. Also no bare bottoms either.

Spankings are fine, an effective way of punishment.

I don't see any problem with bare bottom either... what good is a spanking
with clothes on?

Definately no beating.

When I was young I only got a few spankings.  I knew that if I screwed up, I would get one.  Kids these days are babied too much.

If research showed that spanking had positive/negative effects, would you care?

Or are your opinions on the subject not results-oriented, but intent-oriented?

Agreed with all here.

I got spanked a few times when I was a kid, because I screwed up. Its no different than whacking a puppy on the bottom with a rolled up newspaper when he does something stupid.

Children have underdeveloped minds, and often have a problem discerning right from wrong, good from bad. If they don't learn it while their young, they won't ever learn it. What better way to learn the consequences of a severe infraction than getting a few stinging whacks on your bottom?

I'm not saying use it all the time, but there are situations where a good smack on the read end is actually beneficial.

No beatings, and if the spankings don't come to real physical harm, the law should have no say in the matter.

Same here. Kept me on the straight and narrow. I've turned out to be a far better adjusted individual than all the "Special little snowflakes" that parents are raising today.

Eh, as long as it isn't out-right abuse.

Parents to decide.

At what point do we stop making things so that Gubmint tells us what we can and cannot do.

I'm waiting for a bill to be put forth that bans us from breathing without filling out a government form and paying a fee.

If you want to beat your child with a 3" PVC pipe, I say go for it. Just as long as you don't break anything.

well... i'm not against spanking. however, there is a lot of research that shows negative reinforcement is ineffective. So, positivley reinforce your kid, and have it turn into wuss.

I was only spanked a couple of times growing up, and I am not sure they were effective, at all.  Not to mention every kid always hears how their parents were beat and/or had to pick their own switch and what not.  They also tell you how often this happened.  Obviously, if this were an effective form of punishment, it would not have to be used so frequently.

I won't hit my kid, because I like to think I live in an advanced society that has moved beyond the idea that it is an OK thing to do.

I used to get spanked as well, but I always felt that my grandma flicking me on the lips with her long fingernails was a little more effective.
