[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you use violence on a defenseless child? It is horrible to even think about. I understand that many parents do it because they lack resources and don't know any better, but for an educated parent to do this is pretty inexcusable.[/quote]

[b]Life is violent. Kids are violent.[/b] Some kids don't respond to the modern forms of discipline. Some kids do actually need to be a bit fearful of authority. [/quote]

My life is not violent.  My kids are not violent.  I'm not violent.  We do not condone or practice any kind of violence in our home, including hitting as discipline.

Spanking is illegal in many countries.  Legality doesn't make it right.[/quote]

I agree - of course the world is a violent place, but I can't relate to the PP's mindset. I've never been struck or otherwise physically harmed, nor have I ever struck or physically harmed another person. [/quote]

You've NEVER been struck? Never fooled around, wrestling, slapped anyone or been slapped? Come on. [/quote]

Not once in my life. I'm a 35-year-old woman. My DH played contact sports through college, and never was involved in any altercation outside the bounds of the sport. Never been in a fight nor was spanked as a child.[/quote]

You guys are snowflakes. [/quote]
