I was spanked as a child, but not as often as I needed it. I am not scarred by it. I have spanked my kids, but not nearly as often as I hug them. Occasionally you must resort to stronger punishment to "get their attention", but we must also realize that discipline and disciple come from the same root word and both words mean "to teach". Discipline is instruction, not necessarily punishment.

i was spanked, for dumb stuff, when i was little i wet the bed--my mom thought i was doing it on purpose. come on, kids wet the bed all the time! i think she did it because being a single mom is hard on your patience
will i spank my kids? not regularly, but if they do something big they will definitely get what they have coming. the bible does say "spare the rod spoil the child" i see some kids who don't get spanked and are horrible!
my niece is bad, my sister spanks her, but kids get used to spanking and it doesn't hurt after awhile. i found that putting my niece in a corner was TORTURE for her. she hates standing still, so when she comes out of the corner she behaves like an angel. i hate hitting, it tells kids that "hitting solves problems"
no i won't hit my kids.

My friends and I were spanked and we turned out great. I know it did not scar me and I am going to spank my kids.

I was not spanked, but I was punished physically whenever I deserved it.
I think it has helped me become who I am today. It's not like I was beaten or anything or I was physically abused. I was just punished physically when I was young. I'm pretty much an average joe really, no mental issues or anything :). It really works if you ask me. From my own experiences, I think the majority of Asians in Asia practice this kind of punishment, including teachers.

I was spanked as a child. It did not cause any long standing harm. I have 2 children and do not spank. I have tried to teach my children respect first and foremost and everything else fall into place. They are wonderful and I don't need to resort to physical violence.
I do believe each person has their own way of raising their children and if they need to incorporate that, each to his own.

I was spanked as child, every now and then; it did not scar me at all.
I would spank my child (and explain to her why she is being spanked) if the situation warranted it, if not then I would just talk to her.

I was spanked as a kid and my mentality about it now as a grown adult, is that it helped shape me into a disciplined, responsible person. I plan to exercise such measures with my kids, when I do have them in the future.

Yes i was spanked and at the time i was a little shook up. But it hasn't really changed me in anyway.

yes, I was spanked and no when I have my baby I will not spank, maybe his/her hand if they are going to touch a hot flame but not hard and not have them fear me. ever. Not a fun way of growing up, I wouldn't repeat history.

Yes and it helped tremendously and YES I would spank my own kids, if or when I have them.
