I’m not talking about unnecessary beatings, nor am I speaking of abuse. I am talking about corrective punishment. Even just spankings are better than letting your kid grow up to be a spoiled brat who wants to harm others to get his own way.
When I would take my kids to the playground, it wasn’t hard to pick out the kids that had never been spanked; their lazy misguided parents were going to inflict the little snots on the rest of us...
