I don't think beatings are a good idea, but a smack on the bottom is sometimes neccesary, I feel.
I grew up fine, and I used to get rulers across the knuckles from teachers and belts across the back from my dad (only twice though). It didn't make me hate anyone really.
However, nothing can replace good parenting, which is why I'm glad my girlfriend is studying Education so we know the right theories to support our kids without coddling them.
