I have mixed emotions about corporal punishment but it beats capital punishment. Joking aside, the punishment should be from the humiliation not the physical impact.
Generally speaking, using physical violence means that one doesn't have the intelligence to deal with the situation in a logical manner. I am occasionally included in that group.
Also, I was thinking about the countless you-tube videos showing people getting whacked in the head and groin. While theoretically they are educational (Don't do the typical Hold my beer stuff) most are viewed as entertainment. Does seeing someone slip and fall make us more aware of slip / trip hazards or is it just for laughs?
Russian car crash videos I take seriously. Toronto drivers study them for technique.
