Just curious: what would your reply be to someone who says, "I got spanked when I was a child and I don't think I was abused" ?

I wouldn't argue with them; I'm not one of those "SHE still thinks SHE had a happy childhood!" people. I know that some people were spanked once or twice, or gently as a matter of discipline. I just feel that we as a society have more and I will say better tools for communicating with children and teaching them discipline and if those are there, why on earth not use them?
