Exactly what kind of corporal punishment are you referring to? Prisoners being assaulted? Kids being punished physically violently? Elaborate |

YES!
NO!
Can't say
Well, should it? |

Spanking amounts to nothing more than domestic abuse. I think it should be outlawed. There is ZERO justification you have for corporal punishment of children. ZERO. |

I don't know about corporal punishment, but corporeal punishment is dubious at best |

198.726% of people will not realize that this percentage is impossible given what we are measuring. If you enjoy eating Monterey Jack cheese, put this in your sig and add 3^4i to the percentage listed.
I think some of you are blurring the lines between corporal punishment, domestic abuse, and spanking. |

I didn't say there weren't, however, I've seen too many soft parents sending their children to the "naughty-step" or telling them to go "stand in the corner". What incentive does the kid have to stop doing his acts? He loses 10 minutes of time staring at a wall, then what? |

Spanking is a good method when delivered properly. |

An angry kid brings a gun to school the next day. |

Can someone please explain to a non native English speaker what corporeal punishment is? After googling it and reading your posts, I only ended up confused. |

Come on! What if Martin Luther King said: "I kinda have a dream... nah, I don't wanna talk about it."
No one? Cmon, I know it's physical hurting, but I'm trying to find more concrete meaning on what you're talking about, to be able to understand why this is even a thread! |

Corporal punishment includes smacking a kid with a ruler across the wrists, spanking, and other such forms of torture. I agree, it is a shameful and barbaric way to go about something, and there are always better solutions. Adults can still be very scary beings, and for me at least, the thought of a spanking could never stack up to "5 shades of angry." |

Fuck I meant to click no...gg. |

It's not as serious as people think. Again, it depends on how it is administered. |

Any physical infliction of pain is abuse. Maybe husbands should "properly hit" their wives every time dinner's not ready when they come home. After all, it shouldn't matter as long as it's done "properly." |

This is pretty sketchy ground. I voted "no" because I think if used properly, spanking and other light forms of physical punishment can be effective. Unless somebody can prove otherwise with science. |
|
Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
A husband hitting a wife and a parent spanking a child are two different things. Two VERY different things. |

Physical punishment can be effective when administered properly. |

They are the same because children are no less of a person! They don't warrant having physical pain inflicted upon them any more than one's wife does, because they are both people with rights! Of prime importance, the inalienable right from cruel and unusual punishment, of which infliction of physical pain falls under. |

Yes, I believe you should never strike a child (or switch or anything else like that). In fact, it is illegal in Norway. |
