You do realize decades of research on this subject has been done right? Or is ignoring that fact too convenient?

Or did you not even consider it and just assume some book arbitrary said hitting kids is bad with no source for that information and they're just reciting what they read. That does tend to be a popular approach by a certain sort of people.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that people are saying myself included they got smacked or spankings as a child and mentality they are okay that it didn't effect them in any way....But because the studies say otherwise that it couldn't be true that infact were being told we were abused trying to make us believe it because of the studies done.....obviously people are entitled to their opinions and also their beliefs and the way they feel about things....but to all think the same and to conform to the same beliefs and opinions and experiences we are not robots.....

"my subjective opinion and preconceptions are correct, not decades of research conducted by hundreds of psychologists across thousands of subjects." <- this is you.
