By all means, show me this evidence.
Oh for fuck sake. No. I won't do your homework for you. If you want to be ignorant, fine. This isn't even a point which should be debated and I'm certainly not going to waste my time doing so.
*edit*
In fact, why don't you just read this wiki article on corporal punishment, and make up your own mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_pu...n_the_home
This bit especially: "In countries such as the US and UK, spanking is legal but overt child abuse is both illegal and highly stigmatized socially. Because of this, any parent who has ever spanked a child would find it extremely difficult to accept the research findings. If they did acknowledge, even in the smallest way, that spanking was harmful, they would likely feel they are admitting they harmed their own child and thus are a child abuser."
