Are Spanking Injunctions Scientifically Supported?

I'm sure you won't read that, though.

Peer reviewing is done to verify the validity of not only the conclusions but also the methods used in the research. Leaning more towards the methods used in the research. Some research can have conclusions reached from it and some are very cut and dry. It all depends on the type of research and the type of field the research occurs in.  

 

Aside from that, spanking is not the same thing as beating/whooping/whipping whatever you want to call it. Kids, defenseless humans, should not be hit with weapons.

 

As useless as they are it's anecdote time. I went to catholic school in Jax growing up. I was paddled and forced to kneel on pencils in front of class for minor "offenses". To this day, I hate those people that did that. They are terrible, awful, despicable people in my opinion. My grandfather made my father pick his own switches and beat him with them. My father only ever spanked me. Never beat me, never punched me, never hit me with weapons no matter how much of a punk kid I was (and I was at times). He was better than his father because he taught me the meaning of being a man without being violent with me. Taught me that emotions are not linked with violence, that violence is not a good thing, violence is not love. Ever.
