I will. Spare the rod spoil the child. I got spankings (the rare few times I needed them) and I am fine. I am a college student, going back this year...I don't think I am crazy. Oh and I recall the singer P!nk saying she was a bad child and is grateful for the spanking discipline she got, otherwise she'd have gone down another path. Not every study is accurate.
There was a study about weed damaging brain cells (not that I smoke it) and one about classical music making you smarter...both were proven to be myths. I am sick of all these parents now, being too lenient. Do you think that is good? They let their kids smoke, have sex, disrespect them, HIT them, scream and holler in public, etc. Teach them that YOU are in charge and as a parent, you have every God given right to be. You have more life experience than them of course they may not understand every form of discipline or restriction you put on them even upon an explanation. Look at it this way, say you have tried every form of discipline/help there is, except spanking and if all else failed, what would you do? Try what works and if it does, (and it isn't illegal) use it. We need to stop confusing necessary discipline for abuse.
DISCIPLINE THEM EFFECTIVELY SOME HOW! We don't need anymore criminals than we have now, be a parent. Thank you.

A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that physical punishment to discipline children, has a strong association with "...increased risks of mental and personality disorders, as well as drug and alcohol abuse."
Though the article points out that spanking does not cause mental health disorders, researchers claim there is a strong correction. The results "send a strong message that spanking should never be used on a child," states Abel Ickowicz, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

If you can't be a decent parent without having to physically assault your child, then you aren't doing it right.
To me, it's always seemed more effective to try to explain the consequences of a given action than to intimidate a child with physical force. I've always had good luck with this approach before, but I've never had kids of my own to be responsible for 24/7, so I could be totally naive about this. I was never spanked, and I seem to have learned the lessons I needed to survive, though.
You've warned the kid several times to stop doing what s/he is doing. Kid does not stop. Tell them if they do it again, they'll get a spanking.
I can count on one hand the number of times I spanked my son. It's not something that should be done for every indiscretion, but sometimes it's called for. I'm not talking about beating the tar out of someone using a belt or a switch. Just an open handed swat on the bottom.
Allowing teachers to spank/whip the kids attracts sadistic people to the teaching profession.
I was also whipped when I was hazed in college, and I hated it, especially when there were "guests" around.
People who don't spank their children don't really care for their well being. The non-spanking parents are usually the ones who are eager to dump their children off on others and want public school to have classes year round.
Pro 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
