"Some people still believe, despite an overwhelming body of evidence, that corporal punishment in some cultures won't result in as many negative effects," George Holden told Reuters Health.

There is a big difference between child abuse and a spanking. I don’t believe in causing injury to a child, but a good butt whipping never hurt anyone. Of course, this study being done in Tanzania may have had other issues.

There is a difference between getting a beating just because it’s Monday and getting a spanking because a child really, really did something bad.

I can only recall two spankings (some might call them a beating) when I was a child. In both cases I was guilty as all get out and knew I was wrong before the spanking commenced.

And I never, ever repeated those mistakes while under my fathers roof.
