Oh, man! this makes me livid!

Spankers: Ever heard of Critical Incident Stress?
It is the after-effects of "rare emergencies" as you call them (aka shell shock, cowardice [Gen. G Patton]). It ruins people's lives. Cops who think they have killed innocent people because the high speed drivers they were chasing ran into someone, or shoot kids with [toy] guns, or ambulance drivers who remove dead children from wrecks. Fact: IT DESTROYS LIVES!

But here's a kicker: you can get it from living in fear - it's called PROGRESSIVE Critical Incident Stress and I know it well. Comes from the craziness of a rage-o-holic father who hit a lot! Who beat my little brother's ass black and blue with his belt.

Or from being bullied at school/work. And IMHO opinion, it's MORALLY wrong! Even a little spanking can lead to this condition. Even a little spanking is morally wrong!
