Anyways, I don't know if I'm pro or con: there are numberous ways to teach kids about right and wrong, spanking just being one of them. I'm against violence, and subjecting your kids to it is wrong, imo. And I think it also sends the wrong message to your kids, that violence is a way to achieve what you want.
But on the other hand, it is effective in many cases, although denying your kids certain things as punishment is at least as effective...
So I don't know - I guess the only way to get a final stance on this is to actually get kids of your own...
