Judging by the posts I see I doubt it. But simple question.. simple answer, its a subject of debate amongst friends.

I've wooped my son twice, my dad might have wooped me the same amount of times. He passed down the notion that the fear will translate to discipline.. and once there is discipline beatings aren't needed. Worked for him.. works for me. (my mom and oldest sister did get me a few times)

I see these little badasses in Wal Mart acting up and to me.. its the result of the lack of a good ass beating. Just my opinion, whats yours?
