Reply #98: You'd much rather discuss wording than substance, it seems.

The myth is that it's okay to hit your children, since you yourself were hit and you're okay. Some children aren't okay. Not all smokers get cancer, but that doesn't mean we can assume smoking is risk-free.

We need more studies, clearly. That's what it took before tobacco companies admitted it was harmful. So that's probably what it will take before pro-spankers will admit it's harmful. Sad, really.
