my kid or my wife? My kid doesn't need it. My wife gets wet from it and I like to hit her too.

The conviction rate is probably insanely high. Generally, if someone gets indicted, that means the State or Federal Government probably have more than sufficient evidence to get a guilty verdict. However, most cases get settled long before they go to trial. Here's a general primer for you on indictments:

Overly-simplistic doesn't even begin to cover this nonsense.
If you think the ills of society are because kids aren't hit enough, then you're one seriously dumb human being.

I hear ya and I'm not saying you are wrong. I just think we have plenty of evidence these days that talking it out with children doesn't work. Kids are getting more and more disrespectful these days and it starts at home. My wife is a teacher, so believe me I have seen plenty of examples.

Beating your kid is a clear indication that you, as a parent, have failed. If you go and beat your kids ass its because you are lacking the maturity and communication skills to properly reach your child.

I'm not saying that and I shouldn't have directed it at you. I don't condone hitting and beating children. I do support one or two hard swats on the ass when it's warranted. Talking it out with kids does not work. Once again, my wife is a teacher and I've seen what talking it out does. Kids these days are far more disrespectful than they used to be.

Agreed. I've always viewed beating as frustration on the parent's part more than anything else. It's what peple do. When we can't fix something, we end up hitting or throwing it. When something doesn't respond the way we expect, we get frustrated and hit it. I see hitting kids as little different to that.

I agree 100%. On the other hand, there are plenty of kids where a few spankings go a long way. One or two swats is not beating or violence in my opinion.

I'm not against spanking but hate it when that's the last resort. It doesn't really teach anything but fear. I think parents should desire respect rather than fear from their children.

I agree that they're more disrespectful, but I think the reasons for that are complex and numerous. Like I said, I have no issue with a swat on the backside, but I think that's best used as a quick fright when they're doing something that could harm them and you need to get it into their head not to. I think there are better opinions to teach kids general discipline that hitting. that's all I'm saying.

Sounds like BS to me. Saying your wife is a teacher has little bearing on what does or does not work for children.

It's amusing to see the same old tropes being thrown around about how kids these days don't respect their elders. Same shit, different decade.

My favorite teams
I think there is a time and place for spanking, if someone spanks their kid all the time that teaches the kid nothing but violence. If the kid does something very bad that they have repeatedly done, sometimes a spanking is the only other way to get through to the kid.
but I don't have any kids so what do I know haha

Common appeal to authority.
