Did you ever think that being spanked was not the reason you turned out? There are hndreds of other factors involved. My sister and I both got spanked or belted or paddled. She's in jail and I'm in college. Someting else was involved in how we turned out, sorry spanking didn't matter. I mean honestly, when you were doing something bad did you really think about getting spanked? And afterward did you go sit in your room and actually do some deep thinking about why your parents had to spank you and what lesson they were trying to instill. No. You rubbed your butt and went on with your life as if it never happened. Especially at 6 years old you don't hang on to your spankng, you forget it right away when you next go out to play. Only thing it taught me was not to get caught.
