Physical discipline against children .. okay or not? (country, effects, member)

Sometimes I see kids that I would love to beat down, but then I realize their parents just totally failed in bringing them up properly. If anyone needs beatings, it's the parents that failed so abjectly in their duty to teach kids not to be *******s. Just look at how Captain Caveman turned out. Poor guy.

...Anyway, corporal punishment of kids I think often worsens their behaviour and can inflict psychological wounds that last far longer than bruises. My parents did perfectly well controlling my behaviour with crippling amounts of guilt tripping.

Once, I drove the car around the block and hit the tire on the curb, puncturing it and causing a flat. My dad didn't get angry at all, he just handed me the jack, the replacement tire and the wrench and told me it had better be finished by the next day. I think that might be the best form of punishment; I had to learn from my mistake by rectifying it.
