I've seen the results of lack of discipline in action, so DO NOT try to tell me that SOME children don't need the extra "attention-getter" of physical chastisement.
You don't want to use corporal punishment---fine, but keep your nose out of how other people choose to discipline their children.
I gave my opinion, and I am entitled to do that. You are like a leftist who cannot tollerate an opposing viewpoint. Your over-reaction tells me I must have struck close to home.
