Maybe. Of course we are now back to equating loving discipline oriented spanking with smacking kids around and so the cycle of misunderstanding starts again.
I don't think I'm misunderstanding you. You're just being unnecessarily finicky about which words are used.
It's obvious that you favor a very mild form of spanking, and I can understand where you're coming from. I just don't see why it can't be eliminated altogether by improving the relationship.

Nah man...it's way too early to pull him out. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they kicked that other little boy out though. Like I said, if my son was old enough I'd teach him exactly what to do next time that kid bit him. 
There is only one way to deal with bullies in this world.
Anyway, getting off topic.

In general, I agree with you.
In this instance, I don't.
You want to argue the difference between spanking and smacking. It's NOT NECESSARY. I've already explained that I understand that you are talking about a very mild from of spanking.
And it still qualifies as violence. What you're talking about is a very mild form of it, but it's still violence.
I would've been much more interested to hear about the worldviews you were talking about earlier.

There's a precedent being set in the thread that people who favor spanking tend to be short on explanations.
Tell me what you disagree with. How is it not violence?

A spanking (not a beating) is to violence what drinking a few drinks with your buddies is to being an alcoholic.

No. Horrible attempt.
We're not talking about what these words mean in your mind, or idiotic comparisons you associate them with.
Violence:

the use of physical force to harm someone
Spanking fits within the accepted definitions for violence.
Now, there are various meanings that violence can take on. And it means different things in different contexts. I would describe Spencer Ware as a violent RB at LSU. I'm using a different shade of meaning, talking about his hard-charging, physical style of running. In comparison, other players wouldn't fit the description. For instance, in a football context, Josh Dworaczyk was not a violent football player.
But using violence in the literal sense, spanking fits, by definition.

Great response. I'm sure you're bizarre style of verbal communication has nothing to do with why you are pro-spanking.
If you have boys, I would just suggest that you tread lightly, and keep yourself in good shape.

Look dipshit. I'm trying to be somewhat civil, but since you want to be a complete jackass about it, I'll go ahead and get in the mud with you.
I get it. Your father beat you when you were young. I'm sorry that it happened. I'm sure you'll deny that, but I could read between the lines on that in your OP. Oh, it was all prettied up to make it seem like something else. But I know what you're saying.
The last thing this world needs is you as an evangelist telling me what I or anybody else should do with my son based on what happened to you in your own personal experience. I'm well aware with what to do and what not to do, thanks. My parents didn't beat me, and I don't beat my son now will I ever beat him. It tears me up to raise my voice at him most times.
You really need to move past what happened and quit focusing on what others do as a way of moving past it.

Oh, he did, until I decided I wasn't going to go along with it anymore. I don't know why you're sure that I'll deny that. More idiocy on your part. I didn't get into specifics because it's anecdotal. And I've long since moved past it.
I'm not basing this on my own experience only.

Me as an evangelist? What are you talking about? I'm not telling you what to do.
I don't think spanking is a good idea. Simple as that. I'd prefer to find the root cause of the problem and fix that. I see crossing that line into physical violence (however mild it may be) as unnecessary. There are other ways to deal with people than just using violence as leverage to make them act out of fear.

It worked on me. I respected my parents too much to let them down as a kid.

If it's not harm, then what is it?
Would a typical child that is spanked not describe it as physical harm?

A relationship based on love and respect would seem to make spanking unnecessary.

Kids are like dogs in alot of ways. Sometimes the only way to get through their head is force.
Kids should be scared of their parents to some degree.
