END OF MYSTERIES SAID,
There is a difference between spanking and abuse. I was spanked as a kid but not abused.
The notion that never ever should there be a warrant for spanking is just a ridiculous as saying that an ISIS member should never ever be killed or physically assaulted, they can easily be reasoned with.
Your comparison is ludacris, you cannot compare an extremist group, with disciplining children.
Definition:
slap with one's open hand or a flat object, especially on the buttocks as a punishment."she was spanked for spilling ink on the carpet"synonyms: smack, slap, hit, scuff.
