It wasn't the spanking that got me disciplined, meh. Discipline isn't about physical force or physical pain.

I can cause far more suffering for my nephew by giving him time out than by spanking him

By the way, from what I have learned from umpteen death by powerpoint presentations from ACS, you CAN spank a child, but with an open hand, on the bum, and you cannot leave any marks.

Two memorable beatings that I can honestly remember is when my mom beat me with the bladed snow shovel, and the time my dad broke a yardstick over my back, the latter case was the last time I got beat, because after I got hit I picked my dad up and threw him to the ground, ( the other DCMS should know I am a pretty big guy ) due to the fact that I got blamed for something I did not do.
