It would be a shame to ignore such a great learning tool in order to fit the feel good sensibilities of the hippie generation. The reason why so many of us Gen Xers are bringing back things like spanking, as we saw what the alternative is in our friends or our selves in our upbringing.

Thank you, Ustwo. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Time to come out of the closet....I'm a spanker. No, I don't abuse my child, he only gets it when he really needs it. Time outs are usually sufficient for him. I was spanked as a child and never feared my parents...until I knew I did something I wasn't supposed to. I only remember being spanked twice as a child; I was a fast learner. I watch my stepsister as she raises her child, using only time outs and such, and that child is the biggest brat I have ever had the misfortune to run across. She really needs a few whacks to the butt.
Now, I also feel I have to defend my mother, as per my previous post. She wasn't "wailing" on my brother; he was nearly a foot taller and while he may not have outweighed her, he was pure muscle and she wasn't. He was being threatening towards her, but only when the verbal insult came out did the broom fly...and only once. I guess it would have been better for him to hit or strike her instead of her disciplining her child
