No. "Corporal punishment" is nothing but assault and battery.
@DunningKruger Yes, and look how much better behaved and respectful young people are since corporal punishment has been mostly phased out of western society. Nuclear families were a horrible idea too! 0 discipline and single parent homes are the only way to go!

@puck61 Corporal punishment and capital punishment were the norm since the beginning of history. Look at how great the world has been in the past 10,000 years.
@DunningKruger Well. I don't want to stir up bad feelings or anything. I just think the phasing out of good whippings and beatings has done horrible damage to western society. I am a firm believer in "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back." (although I don't much approve of whipping horses.)
