The side effects of spanking

Funny, I was just thinking about spanking the other day and then got this story from my friend Ryan in Canada.

And no, I wasn't thinking about being spanked as an adult. :-)

What I was contempating was whether or not I'd spank my kids if I had them; I had decided that I'd only do so if they did something life-threatening such as walking out into traffic.

Apparently studies that compare adult behavior of people who were and were not spanked as children is finding ample evidence that spanking has long-term effects.

No doubt someone will take these researchers to the woodshed, lol.
