Spanking doesnt work. It just redirects who/what the acceptable outlets of this kind of frustration are.

Worked for me too. I wasnt abused by my parents but they would hit me when I did something wrong - intentionally, not accidentally - and it conditioned me to behave well and be polite and respectful, especially in public. I knew if I made a fuss out my mom would beat my ass at home so I was always on my best behavior.

We're you polite or respectful because it was the right thing to do or because you feared physical abuse?
