[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a spanker, because I'm not convinced it would work and I am kind of a softie. But I think if you don't get the difference between the calm, not rageful spanker and the "whip with a paddle" example, you're missing an important difference. I was spanked on rare occasions -- only if I was violent with my brother or once when I yelled "f__ you" at my mom. I can say that it didn't scar me at all, but it did let me know that my parents were really serious -- more serious than the other times I was disciplined in other ways. My mom, however, was paddled and on occasion smacked with a belt on the bottom. That was violent. And she was psychologically scarred by it. You might disagree with spanking, but lumping it with the other examples which are -- truly -- violent. I think I agree that it's not effective enough to merit possibly confusing the kid. But I absolutely do not think the non-rageful smack on the bottom is violent.[/quote]
