So, basically, you've got nothing?
Duely noted.

Maybe you believe that's something to be proud of, but I don't.
And in my work...I've seen plenty of devastating outcomes in adults who's lives were wreckage as a result of what you would obviously like to call "spanking". Far as I'm concerned, when a life is wreckage, that life has been "endangered." You might want to argue about the specifics of child endangerment, I don't intend to argue any of that with you. I have my professional definitions of child endangerment and I'm not much interested in arguing those with you or otherwise interested in the perspective I suspect would be coming out of you. Maybe you might surprise me.
But I kinda fucking doubt it.

Odd.
I guess we can whip out our academic dicks on this one (I've got degrees in sociology and criminal justice, as a start) as well as cultural immersion in three countries
and existence as an American Indian with unique cultural mores developed long before your kind arrived on boats to irritate us but why bother?
Your argument is a slippery slope from "spanking" to "abuse." it's neither based in reality or logic. And I wholly dismiss your self-proclaimed work experience as that similar to Jane Goodall: whilst you might work around/with your subjects, you cannot extrapolate what it is like to BE those with whom you work. Your elitism is pervasive. To wit?
"Culture doesn't mean jack shit?"
You make my point and are 100% guilty of the most grievous of analytical sins: PROJECTION.
Dumbassery all around from the both of you.
