it's a little ironic seeing as how the ass beating generation are the one's who invented the time out. The only objective logical conclusion being that neither method actually "works."
Perhaps the real culprit causing shittier less disciplined people is the lack of two parent households. The phrase "wait til your father gets home" is what should make the difference... not sure it really matters whether he takes his belt off or gives me a stern talking to.
I've never met a black single mother who wasn't extremely violent with their kids.
You can't have it both ways. In the context of a solid unbringing, you can certainly physically discipline your kids when they deserve it. That's the biblical prescription. To simply hit your kids for the sake of hitting them, while at the same time failing in every other aspect of morality and discipline yourself, is probably not going to help.

It's very tempting to call your logical conclusion bullshit.
But, since you make a good point later, I won't.
"Ass beating" works, period. See the Bible.
Regular old "ass beatings" always work. But the abuse that happens in single-mom households, under the guise of "ass beatings", does not work.
Dad plus "ass beatings" works every time.
