Fair enough. But then, if it's a personal choice/depends on the child, how can one "advocate" for corporal punishment? I usually err on the side of caution and don't support it because it's a slippery slope, in my opinion, but in no way do I say it's abuse. I personally believe it's less productive, but whatever, you know.

But what TC is advocating? Is child abuse, and not only that, but he and those who think like him are pressing their personal opinions on others and making generalizations by saying "that kid needs to get hit." Maybe the kid doesn't need to be hit. Maybe it doesn't work.

I don't think I'd advocate for it any more than to say I don't believe it's an option that should be taken off the table or dismissed out of hand no matter what as some people seem to do. The "Spanking is always wrong/is child abuse/is just the solution of a lazy parent" crowd seem to treat it like some ultimate, horrible evil, which it simply is not. I think it's as equally irrational to say you should never spank a child as it is to say you always should. Never and always aren't words that have a place in childcare except in extremes. Spanking isn't extreme.

I've seen just as many people from the other side pressing their personal opinions on others. I've also seen a lot of armchair psychoanalyzing and obnoxious assumptions of people based solely on whether they say they've been spanked or not. Everybody always seems to think they know what's best when it comes to how to handle kids. The truth is if anyone had the ultimate answer, that person would be a billionaire and no one would ever have to have this argument again. I believe people on both sides of the divide would do well to remember that discipline is not a one size fits all activity and not be so judgmental when they don't have even a fraction of the facts of any given situation.
