the idea is that while it may discipline a child into no longer committing the spankable offence, introducing violence to them directly in this way sets them on a path on which they may end up a destructive/aggressive/violent person when they are older, possibly to extreme levels.
i'm not sure i agree with this theory but it does make you question whether spanking should be the absolute last resort or just discouraged completely

Also, bosses should be able to spank employees. It's an effective way of instilling discipline, and much quicker than explaining stuff. (Children can't move to different parents, of course, but employees can look for another job. To combat this, ALL bosses must be legally obliged to fulfil spanking quotas.)

It is, as long as you let the children know what exactly they're being spanked for. Preferably beforehand. No pun intended.

Parentally, spanking is widely considered a no-no because a) it introduces violence to the child as a solution to interpersonal problems, and b) it is hitting a child, albeit kinda far down on the violence-against-children continuum.
As a child I was spanked and my mom even even hit in the head with a hairbrush once when she was really mad (I was already taller than her, so maybe she felt justified in escalating). Also, I was paddled in school--as late as junior high. We used to scare each other with folk tales about the formidable paddles the various teachers used--the ultimate was to claim a paddle had a lot of holes, cause that was supposed to mean it swung faster and hurt worse.
― Lee G (Lee G), Thursday, 14 August 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)
EXACTLY. If you spank children for no discernable reason, OF COURSE the discipline won't work. If you spank your children too often, they get used to it and you have to escalate the force to put across the same message.
Reasoning with children does not always work and I don't think it's helping parents to make one of their discipline tools grounds for having their kids taken away.

Not at all -- I just don't like to get into this particular argument. I was occasionally spanked as a kid. I had kids. I spanked occasionally. The older they got, the more feasible it was to say "if you do X, you can't have dessert/go to your friends'/whatever," but there are ages and stages at which that won't work, and "when you do that, it makes mommy feel bad" is emotional blackmail of the darkest sort.
