It's not about the title, Rather about the OP.... I know he is the OP without opening the thread.

Poll: Most Approve of Spanking Kids
Nov. 8
Analysis


The public by a 2-1 margin approves of spanking children in principle, and half of parents say they sometimes do it to their own kids, an ABCNEWS poll found. But an overwhelming majority disapproves of corporal punishment in schools.

Sixty-five percent of Americans approve of spanking children, a rate that has been steady since 1990. But just 26 percent say grade-school teachers should be allowed to spank kids at school; 72 percent say it shouldn't be permitted, including eight in 10 parents of grade-schoolers.

Define hitting, did a symbolic gesture without inflicting physical pain count?

For example?

Without elaborating, as King Solomon says when you never hit your kids, it means you don't like them. It definitely has to be done with Seichel, meaning you can't hit your kid because you're posting on DDF and he keeps on shlepping you to play with him, just get off DDF and do what a father has to do. Dont get in Kays and give him a smake. etc etc etc I am always thinking, do I wonna smake him because he shouldn't do it next time OR because im angry, you can't hit because you're angry.
