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.
It really depends on the child and the home environment. I hit my oldest son a total of 3 times, the next 2 children I never hit and they turned out fine. Frankly, my youngest child gets more disturbed just by seeing he disappointing me than my oldest got when I spanked him.
Almost like situations and individuals are unique or something. The idea that you ever have to hit your child is absurd, but so is the idea that you should never do it under any circumstances no matter what.
