Unless previously stated, I think the right to spank has an absolute age limit. Young enough that they're still learning right from wrong, maybe to a max age of 7. Than after that, I think that *I* (personally) would only hit my child if he used a strong amount of profanity towards me or my wife (which I don't have... but when I have a kid I hope he has a mother!). I guess, it all depends on how YOU grew up. I know I grew up with barely ever being beaten (atleast none that I can recall), I also know that I turned out alot worse than I would want my child to turn out like... so I would probably be a bit more strict in situations that my parent would be lenient to me about.

Definately would NEVER "Beat" my child, there's a thin line between teaching them right for wrong, and you just being mad and hot headed.
