Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
As for spanking...well, I was swatted more than few times when I was young and had my face slapped a few times when I thought I was a big bad 'man' and I turned out okay.
I certainly don't want to get involved with the debate that is inevitably going to start up in this thread, if it hasn't already, about spanking, but there is certainly a difference between swatting a kid on the backside occassionally and beating the dog shit out of them with a belt. Parents these days seem so afraid to discipline their children physically, but have no problem brow beating them into submission.
The other day, at a Wal*Mart, no less, I saw a mother just lose it on her kid in the cashier's lane. He was reaching for a candy bar and she let loose a verbal tirade that seemed to last forever. It seems to me that a quick slap on the hand would've done the job just as well and she wouldn't have made such an ass of herself in the middle of the store.
Of course, that's just my opinion....
