121. "Spank" is a bullshit euphemism. Spanking is hitting, and hitting a child is never appropriate.

This argument that hitting children is integral to discipline is stupid. There are whole countries where hitting of children is banned and they all seem to be raising less violent, better educated children than the child thumping cro magnons here in the USofA are.
