I can't make a sweeping generalization about everyone who's pro spanking in this thread that they are violent. I don't think it's that easy, but I consider corporal punishment to be a form of violence and I think the positive attitude towards it is generally a result of the cycle. Many of those who defend corporal punishment do it with arguments like "it taught me right from wrong" or "I turned out fine in the end", so unless they are lying, it's obviously been part of the lives of many of the pro-spankers who have contributed to the discussion so far.
