Im not talking about abusing children... if you spank a child because he is being bad is not child abuse. if you beat him for fun it is.

YES YES YES - we used to get paddled in middle school. I wish they could bring that paddle BACK for these kids today. They could use MORE discipline and if they were "scared to get sent to the office for fear of a paddling" then MAYBE it would do some good for these hellians who walk around with the attitude that they're "kings and queens".

I hear so many people - both men and women - decry the horrible frequency of domestic violence in this country. Yet, rarely to I hear of this concern linked to what I believe to be the root cause of the problem. We teach our children to solve problems with physical force almost from the time they are old enough to walk. We do this by using spanking as a form of discipline. We control them with either violence or threats of violence. Even parents who spank infrequently will use threats like You're going to get a spanking as a means of control. Why then are we so terribly surprised that these same little children grow up and hit others?
For those adults who believe that parents have a right to discipline their children by hitting them, but who paradoxically believe that it is wrong for one adult to hit another, I have a question. Exactly how old does a person have to be before others do not have a right to hit them? When one adult hits another it is called an assault. If the person being hit is young (actual cutoff age unknown), we call it spanking and it gets classified as discipline. So basically, the more defenseless a person is, the more acceptable it is to hit them.
Spanking is supported and encouraged by many churches. They cling to a brief Biblical reference about Spare the rod, spoil the child and misunderstand its meaning. The "Rod" was used by the shepherd to guide his sheep, not to beat them. Consider the phrase in the 23d Psalm "Thy Rod and Thy staff, they comfort me..." For children, there is comfort in the guidance given to them by their parents or guardians.

I think it's too late for that. If we had spankings, that would give todays crazy brats one more reason to go to school with guns, trying to get revenge on a teacher who spanked them for being a brat.
