Reply #45: CP is never necessary

there is no cause for it. If it was useful, perhaps the results would be reversed, but they aren't.

If a relationship with a child has devolved to the point that all one has to offer is physical dominance, there are then far larger issues to be addressed than the incident at hand, regardless of the incident at hand.

Yes I was spanked, even beaten and tossed about a bit, and my IQ is reportedly 148. However, I spent my 20s making alot of stupid personal choices that I perhaps might have avoided otherwise. After 15 years of personal struggle with some of these choices, I managed to work my way through college.

My kids have never been struck, spanked, or even touched in anger. This does not mean that they never made me angry. One is about to earn his PhD and the other is a nationally recognized scholar, both show evidence of being able to make very sound and well considered personal choices.

Think twice, spanking may seem expedient, but it isn't.
