Do you think spanking (in general) should be illegal?

[John Dibble]

No, though spanking that constitutes a beating should be. My parents' philosophy on the rare occasion it was necessary was "until it hurts", nothing more and nothing less, and they only used that punishment like four times. It was mainly if I had done something really bad or was being a particular brat at the time, otherwise they preferred non-corporal punishments.
