Corporal punishment is an interesting debate... and indeed there are good arguements both for and against it.
I think that corporal punishment does teach a lesson to little kids. Naturally, they associate poor behavior with pain of the "Daddy's gonna spank me on my
butt" variety.
On the other hand, perhaps it just teaches kids that "violence" is an okay thing, and that later in life they can punish other people with pain of the "Dawg. You spreadin' shit about me. I'm gonna bust a cap on your ass" variety.
The interesting thing is that a lot of countries in Europe completely ban corporal punishment, yet most states in the US allow it.
Some states even allow the punishment in SCHOOLS!
I could not imagine being spanked in school.
For these reasons, i have mixed feelings about this subject.
