Spoken like a true victim of childhood physical mistreatment.
People like you often rationalize what they experienced by saying they deserved it. But there is a world of difference between being disciplined and taught right from wrong, and being abused. In fact, did you know that according to statistics, individuals who are hit/spanked in childhood are several times more likely to end up in prison? More of the prison population in this country are filled with criminals who had similar experiences to yours. Being hit (especially with objects) can lead to higher levels of anger and aggression when the kid grows up, and it teaches them to use violence to solve problems.
If you think that punishing a kid with a belt or a switch or making them feel pain is the most effective way to teach them and raise them, then I'm sorry. Because if you honestly believe that, it means that you were negatively effected by your parent's treatment; you have been taught that it's okay to abuse children..... and that is the greatest misfortune of all.
Let me tell you something, your way off track and way out of bounds, my parents did not abuse me and would have never gave abuse a thought. They were extremely loving parents who provided for us and gave us more than we needed. The spankings were punishment for doing certain bad things most often going against what they taught us and not necessarily the act itself. If you had cared to read my first post in this thread you would have seen that I stated spankings are punishment for wrong activities and talking to children is the way to teach and too turn around a child's bad attitudes. You have no idea who my parents are so you should keep your liberal lips closed about them.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
