[quote=Anonymous]PP - You don't like spanking as a punishment, and that's perfectly fine. But it shouldn't be difficult for you to grasp that other parents can spank their kids and still teach their kids "not to hit"* *there's a qualifier here, because if you want to argue semantics, which this thread is about, then you don't actually teach them not to hit. You teach them to hit baseballs and tennis balls and pinatas. You might even teach them to hit each other in boxing and football. Presumably, someone who is anti-spanking would also teach their kids not to steal, but that doesn't mean that she would not take away a favorite toy as a punishment. She would teach them to keep their word, and for punishment she might tell them that they can't go out for ice cream after all, due to their behavior. If you can reconcile these actions, which are based on legitimate authority, then you should be able to understand spanking. It's really not all that difficult.[/quote]
