I wasn't beaten on a regular basis, but if I started acting up or got extra mouthy with my parents, they would whack me in the ass to get their point across and it worked. There were no "time outs" or "using your words".
Everyone I know in my age group got disciplined this way as a child. All of us turned out just fine.
There is a line between discipline and abuse. Getting a swat on the ass so it stings is one thing, punching/shoving/kicking is another.
