As for those of you who don't agree with it then fine - that's up to you - there is no need to be insulting because people disagree with you - if that is how it is going to progress in here then I'm outta here.

Just think how much better it would be if they learned good from good instead.
I don't see how I am being even remotely insulting. I'm just telling it like it is. It must satisfy someone to smack their child in the sense that they believe they have done a grand job in discipline. If there was no satisfaction then you wouldn't do it. I would like to think that all you pro-smackers can understand that the ideal goal would be to make the time and effort to explore other forms of punishment or rather education which does not involve the reactionary infliction of pain or humiliation and does not perpetuate smacking for another few thousands years or so.
