Do you spank?

I was debatting this with a friend last week, and I'm wondering how others feel about this. I was raised getting spankings if I did something wrong. I only shout with my kids, but it seems that it has no effect on them. What do you do?

I don't like to spank eiather, I think it really doesn't get you any where. What I did was find my kids weakness in what they liked the most and take it from them for a certain amount of time. My oldest just hates having her tv privledges revoked, while my youngest just hates to sit in a chair for a short amount of time. They do understand and you don't have to spank them to get it across. Also just simply counting the 1-2-3-4-5 works as well. They usually know they are in trouble and listen, I have never gotten to 10 yet thank goodness cause I would have to decide what to do! lol For some reason they automatically know oh no mom's mad and we best listen or else! Now what the or else is they don't know and hopefully I will never get to 10 cause if I do. I will have to figure out what to do! again lol. Any way this is my insight any way.
