Topic	Is disciplinary spanking of children "abuse"??? (In your OWN OPINION)
shipwreckers 12/03/18 3:49:19 AM #1:	NOTE: I'm NOT talking about any sort of all-out beating that leaves any marks. By "spanking" I mean a basic whap on the butt intended for course-correction. - Results (4 votes) A) Yes. I was spanked as a child, and I consider it abuse. 0% (0 votes) 0 B) Yes. I wasn't spanked as a child, and I consider it abuse. 25% (1 vote) 1 C) No. I was spanked as a child, and I don't consider it abuse. 50% (2 votes) 2 D) No. I wasn't spanked as a child, and I don't consider it abuse. 25% (1 vote) 1 E) I can't really decide one way or the other.

I've heard people give good examples both FOR and AGAINST the overall concept of disciplinary spanking, on principle (with valid logic on both sides). For me personally, I had the crap beaten out of me regularly growing up, but I never considered it abusive (neither now in hindsight, nor at the time). But, to be fair, I had "good" parents, who explained my wrongdoing, and frankly, I often had it coming (as much as I misbehaved / disobeyed). Not everybody has the same parenting package. NOTE: This is just straight up data-gathering here. I'm not trying to prove one side "right" or "wrong." I'm just trying to get a sense of people's general opinions, and if possible, the rationale behind those opinions.
