I have a kid and while I dont think I would hit him with a switch, I wouldnt put it off the table completely....I didnt WANT to ever spank my kid but with my son....I have had to go that route a couple times because logic does not work with kids sometimes.
I can see the arguments on both sides but I refuse to label someone who spanks/corporal punishment to a child as some kind of monster. Everyone is different and some kids are harder to get through to.
Maybe you should have a few kids before you get on your high horse.......

You can parent a kid without laying a finger on them.
I don't think you understand the long term stress something as
small as spanking can do.
... and my post isn't just towards AP- it's to anyone who thinks this sort of behavior is okay because goddangit, I'm a beer drinking, bacon eating American and my parents did it, and their parents did it, and so on and so forth.
