Why is this in the gaming discussion forum?
Anyway tricky subject.I would say yes it's fine as long as it's in moderation.It might sound sadistic but pain is one of the best ways a child learns not to repeat something.If you burn your hand on something you quickly learn not to touch that thing again.Similarly if you act like a complete brat and are spanked you'll learn not to repeat that behaviour as it will be associated with the pain it caused
Problem is if you allow people to hit their kids there are always some bastards who'll go too far and beat the shit out of their kids

Yes?
Its funny to me every month or so when this topic comes up how its consistently been for the last year, someone who is barely old enough to have kids of their own (16-25 area) who looks at the issue as if it is even in question. Says more than the question itself.

I remember when I was a kid and my dad or grandad took the belt off and belted round the back of the legs with the buckle when I talked back. Or off came the shoe and a crack in the same place for being a tit.
Teachers throwing big wooden board cleaners at our heads for talking in class.
No one thought twice about it being a bad thing because it worked. We learned to shut the fuck up and do as was asked of us.
Have a look at kids today.
***** and moan if mummy or daddy won't get the latest i-phone for them.
Sometimes a smack is needed.

Exactly. Sometimes I think that more kids need to be hit in today's world.Rawne1980 said:
My parents hit me when I acted out when I was young, and I'm fucking grateful. Knowing my disposition, otherwise I would have turned out to be a whiny, needy, disrespecful little bastard.
As my dad always told me, "Pain is a wonderful teacher."
i have had to endure verbal and physical hurt and if i ever told them to stop my parents got angry at me for wanting to put a stop to it. my mom+stepfather are so strict it's scary. so yes, i appose all forms of pain and suffering coming from parents, because parents are supposed to be nice to their kids and, well, parent them, and maybe it's just because my mom had a rough childhood or maybe my stepfather is just a horrible parent, but that gives them no right to hurt anyone. this is bringing tears to my eyes. childhood is a terrible thing to waste.
No. To my mind, there should never be a situation where you'd need to. There are plenty of ways of disciplining children that don't require hitting them that will be just as effective.
EDIT: Hitting children only serves to teach them that hitting is an effective way to deal with someone who isn't doing what you want them to. I'd say it's much better to explain to them why what they did was wrong the first time they do it, and after that discipline them in a way which doesn't require hitting them.

I'd say no... but considering how whiny kids can be these days... a bit in moderation should be good for them...
There's a difference between physically disciplining kids and beating them. That being said, I think that physically disciplining a kid should only be used when the kid's done something really, really wrong, after having been warned beforehand. A threat without a bite won't make a difference in the world, but when a kid knows that it actually could happen, they'll think twice before misbehaving. I have very loving parents and had a great childhood, and my parents would spank me and my siblings if we seriously misbehaved.
There's a thin line between bringing home the reality of consequence and simply abusing a child because you're an ill-tempered douche.
Also:
Spanking children is a form of entertainment now? *Looks at forum section*
... That just might explain... Certain stats... Power-ups... *mutters incoherently*

No,I also think it's illegal.When I was a kid my dad would hit me only if I did something really bad,but useally he'll just scare the crap out of me.Spanking is a complete wrong thing to do,maybe a little smack but no spanking.
e.g why it's also neccessry:One of my dad's best friends a kid and me and my sister fucking hate him He's annyoing,violent and mean and his parents never do anything to him so he'll continue to be an annyoing brat.

I don't think it's legal to do stuff like this.aprilmarie said:
imo, one of our biggest problems is we do not hit our kids when its needed. kid throws a rock at another kid and hurts him/her, you think a time out is enough, oh hell no smack that kid on his ass than send him to time out.
although at the same time over hitting a kid is even worse. a smack when needed is fine, but don't beet the poor thing.

Depends on the type of physical punishment.
Some kids respond better to punishment, but the mojority of them, if you start at an early age, can be taught to do other things instead of simply punishing them for their actions.
"Don't draw on the walls, since you did, you have to clean it up, and from now on, draw on paper instead."
It's all about positive and negative reinforcement. That's how you teach someone. Punishments really doesn't do it in the sense that a lot of people think. Sometimes, though, you have to to get the point across, especially if you have a child that doesn't respond as well to positive reinforcement.
The kid does something you don't want them to do, you make them fix it to the best of their ability. Even if they can't erase magic marker off of the walls, make them scrub it for a while with a damp cloth, and when they're not watching, clean it off yourself with some cleaning solution. But you must provide them with an alternative to their negative actions, or else they won't know what to do instead of the actions that their just being punished for because they weren't shown an alternative.
