Anyone else find it interesting just how many people in this thread have advocated some form of physical punishment for misbehaving children? I am not a parent (yet), but the media sure presents physical punishment as the devil's plan for parenting. I don't have a problem with it personally and will defintely spank my child under the right circumstances that some of you have advocated, but 'society' (that vague abstraction) sure leaves me with the impression that I should never lay a hand on my child. Thanks for all of your input.
