On the other hand, shouldn't there be some kind of limit, and if so, where do we draw the line? I too, am not fond of spanking, but it is necessary in some situations. The line (to me) being keeping it as a punishment of humiliation, where the adult is in control and not in a blind rage.
A spanking? I wish I was just spanked when I was a kid. My mother once put me through a window. But I turned out ok, except for the voices.
