It used to be that everyone got whupped, so the ramifications and psychological damage wasn't as great as it is now, I think. Besides, I think "a minor whipping" back then was de rigueur so it WASN't as a big a deal.

However, we grow up. As a species. We live and we learn. HITTING KIDS IS NOT THE OPTIMAL WAY TO PARENT. It does not teach them the proper values in the long run.

I'm glad you have good kids. I'm glad I grew up to be a good parent, too. But beating kids. Hitting them. Spanking them. Slapping them. Whapping them up side the head . . . no. Not acceptable under any circumstances at any time. ever.
