mana, I think a person is going to be who they're going to be if they're whooped or not. I know people who are bad ass who never got whooped, and people who are bad ass and did get whooped. And I know people who are angels and didn't get whooped, and people who are angels and did get whooped...

To me the only time a spanking is nessicary is if you get one of those type A personality kids where you need to instantly shut down what they're doing, or if they cross the line so hard that you need to set a pysical boundary.

Unfortunately I don't buy into the whole "kids are like puppies" arguements. The personality range of a human being raised under the same circumstances with the same rules is a lot wider then a simple dog. While I'd agree that we and dogs alike are a product of our environment to a great extent, humans perception of their environment can be completely different under the same circumstances.
