A Nova Scotia man received probation for spanking his 11-year old daughter with a belt. Supreme Court of Canada recently upheld a parent's right to spank a child with "reasonable force," but this case apparently amounted to assault.
What's your opinion? Are you a spanker? Former spankee? Belt user? Hand user? Child abuser?
Kind of reminds me of the story about the man in Germany who spanked his cranky son in a grocery store, only to have a German woman in front of him turn and say, "In Germany we don't spank our children," to which he replied, "Oh yeah? Well, in England we don't gas our Jews!"
Oh, boy.

I love you. You made my day.
As for the spanking thing, I think Dennis Leary said it best.
"My parents used to beat the **** outa me. I'm looking forward to beating the **** outa my kids."
Rousseau in "Confessions" confesses to actually enjoying a spanking he recieved when young - hey I learned something in college.
I don't have kids, thus I probably shouldn't comment, but from what I see, you do have to have some physical intervention. Probably best not to do it when angry. My grandmother, who was a firm believer in spanking with belts or switches, has changed a bit over time. She recalls the most effective punishment she ever gave was when she told the kids she was too mad now to punish them and that she would decide the following day. Of course this only works because they knew the maximum worst punishment would be pretty bad. You obviously have to have something hanging over their heads - and physical or psychological misuse of it will ***** the kids up.
But I don't critisize anyone about how they raise their children. It seems to be an amazingly difficult, but rewarding job and one that in US society is not really valued enough. You see some things which make you cringe, but I'm sure you can't raise a child without making a few mistakes. After you're on job 24 hours a day for, what, 18 years?
Lastly, a joke:
Spank your kids hard enough and they'll turn out Republicans.

I was spanked when I was growing up, quite severly, my father had 4 ranges of punishment, hand, hairbrush, belt, coathanger. Always on the ***.
I think I grew up better for it, probibly made me a better person.
I think if I ever have children (Which I can tell you I won't) I will probibly spank.

In answer to this thread, yes. Will you please administer one, Tare?

As the father of two teenagers (one a stepson I received when he was 10) and the son of non-violent parents, here's my take:
Although my parents are pacifists, I did indeed get spanked as a kid, although not often. It was usually warrented...
I have never had to spank my daughter, but have indeed resorted to physical attention-getting methods with my son early in our relationship. Once I grabbed his ear and once I pushed him up against the wall. I didn't feel good about it, but he was not listening and I needed his attention at the time. Never had to do anything else.
I believe that minor physical attention-getting corrective measures are sometimes needed in order to realign a child's focus. It's along the same lines as slapping a hysterical person. It should NEVER be used as punishment, however.

You'll change your tune when you have kids, Trunk. Trust me, by the time they're your age you'll be beating them within an inch of their lives.

I got spanked with all kinds of things, and once even had to duck a potato. It never really made a dent in my character, and I think it depends on the age & personality of the child. Some children need to be disciplined, and some can be reasoned with.

My mother never believed in "Wait till your father gets home" Oh no she'd snag one of his belts and go at our butts till they or she was red ...then dad would come home and we'd get another spanking for "forcing" our mother to have to spank us...all in all my brother and I learned early on to just sit quietly in our rooms and not touch anything...or breathe.

My parents firmly believed in "spare the rod, spoil the child." I got spanked all the time, and it was generally warranted. The last time I was spanked I was 11 and laughed at my mother when she did it. After that, it was physical punishment of a different sort. I played the president of mexico (manuel labór) a lot after that.
Here's hoping I have a son who is convinced by words. If not though, I agree with Mike. Sometimes kids (in my opinion, especially young men) need to have a physical "attention getter" employed on them.

My parents never hit me when I was a kid. Oh no, they had more debolical plans for me. Instead of getting beaten or whipped with a belt, I was forced to do manual labor. I can't tell you how many times I painted the deck during highschool. If it wasn't that, it was mulching. Or washing windows. Definately taught me to behave myself, or atleast taught me how to get away with it >=}

My parents never had to hit me or my siblings, as far as I can remember; since there's four of us we did a pretty good job of beating the **** out of each other. On occasion my father would yank one of us around when we were throwing a hissy fit, but that never really hurt - more of an attention-getter as Mike puts it.

Man my dad had two tools of choice a spatula and a flyswater. God damn that flyswater, he kept it in the car and if we made any trouble wack. When I got older he broke the spatula on my ***...and there was much rejoicing.
I was spanked quite a bit growing up and I deserved every one of them. But I never learned from them. I was one of those kids who truly thought that just because I wanted something, I should have it. And nothing would get in my way of getting it, especially not my parents. And even though I know that's not the way the world works now, I still want what I want RIGHT NOW.
I haven't spanked either of my children much. Usually it was a small pop on the side of the leg as an attention getter, like Mike said. And so far, both of them have the same ideas about getting what they want no matter what, just like me. /sigh. What goes around...

I was beaten pretty severly when I was a kid, be it belt or hand. I have one of those stories that people cringe when you tell them because I really didn't do much to get spanked. Thank got I am a girl though, cause my brother got all out beatings with fists. Do I spank my kids? Never have to yet, and my children are 3 & 19 months. Sure my 3 year old likes to tell me to shutup or gets a tantrum when not getting her way. All I've had to do so far is put her in time out; no toys, not tv, no playtime and it makes her stop what she is doing or saying and behave. And well my 19 year old still doesn't really understand no, but I know I didn't like the beating I recieved so I will not give any ever. Taking away my daughters enjoyment seems to be a great punishment. I just hope it works for my son... who is..shall we say... a wild thing already.
I was glad to hear of that story with the belt beating, only because I wished almost every night that my Dad would get in trouble for what he was doing to me. Sometimes...the beatings are way out of line.
