some kids are too young to understand that :/

A child to you to understand that probably won't understand the spanking punishment either.

breaking china
=
pain
=
never do

I still so no point in causing the child pain. If you are to argue the child can't understand the above I find it unlikely the child would associate the pain with the action either. If you can get the child to understand the connection then you can also make this connection with one of the above.

our people learned through pain from simple cavemen

fire
=
hot
=
don't touch

sharp thing
=
cut
=
don't run finger down

Thats direct pain, you go near fire and it gets hot. When a child misbehaves they are punished after the fact.

I never really saw any harm in a little spanking, it's the people that go too far and actually start beating the kids. I think a little force is needed in disciplining. Kids today are so gosh darn "delicate"

I still don't think there is any real proof that spanking is a necessary form of discipline that couldn't easily be replaced with something less violent.

I agree with avorne I think that spanking should be replaced with something else I didn't get spanked and I turned out ok everybody says I'm polite and blablabla but I did get my fare share of nose pulling ear pulling and screaming

but I did get my fare share of nose pulling

It's acutely not that hard and when my parents do it it's like for a second or two and I they do t do it often they just scream

Sorry for double post but I meant don't not do it

It's cool dude I understood what you said.

yes but it's not like you wait a whole day THEN do it it's within a small amount of time and tell them what they done you almost demonize it

still the association is in "did something that upset mommy/daddy and they will hurt me for it." not "I will get hurt for doing X". But even if it was the latter it's still instilling that hitting is okay and should be done when something happens they don't like.
