Depends. I was spanked as a kid, and since I've always been a stubborn bastard sometimes it's the only thing that'd get the message across. Definitely helped instill me w/ some discipline.
Then again my best friend had a very abusive childhood. That turned him against the idea of physical pain as punishment, plus he's afraid that if he starts spanking his kid it could escalate to the point that he follows his parents' footsteps since he never really knew anything different. Best way to prevent that from happening is to avoid spankngs altogether.
I think that's rational and a good move in his case, even though I'm all for spankings as a good form of discipline in most cases.
