Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

it’s the only thing that gets them to understand how serious something is

No, also spanking is child abuse (for all the people upvoting this shit).

It's not.

The legal distinction hinges on "reasonable force". In the U.S., parental corporal punishment (like spanking) is legal in all 50 states if it is intended for correction, is appropriate for the child's age, and leaves no lasting injury. Abuse occurs when force becomes excessive, unreasonable, or causes physical or emotional harm.

I don't care what your law says, it changes nothing about the fact that it is child abuse.
