Debate & Discuss / Do kids actually want to be spanked?(!)

OK, OK, OK: I'm not here to spark controversy for the sake of it, but there's something that's been causing me to pause and wonder, for all the conventional wisdom, forbidding us to spank (our) children out of fear of serious, long-term psychological repercussions, I've been told by some parents, with their "boots-on-the-ground" experience, questioning if kids misbehave because they want to see what their boundaries are. By doing so, kids with their respective development issues can see what's right vs. what's wrong, so as to be more secure with themselves... and by being more secure with themselves--thanks to their parents' guidance/supervision, they can feel loved by mom and dad. So by direct accounts, does that provocatively mean children will feel unloved if they don't get spanked? I mean, there's something to be said about why kids, or for that matter, adults, still seek outrageous ways of getting (loving?) attention!

Even though the health care reform package passed recently--albeit with still a lot of legislative work to be done, i.e, whether or not both houses of Congress will authorize funding for it, I'm wondering how everybody's fiscal situation has been affected--even on a 'psychological' level, since who knows what sort of speculations have impacted how people will invest in our economy.

I guess at my age, I'm wondering what accomplishments, milestones any of us used to indicate how far we progressed in life, let alone succeed in life? What are your milestones?

Off-Topic / So how's the job prospects for everyone here?

I've been hearing that the temp sector might pick up, given how many companies are afraid of doing any real hiring; if anything, it's more like a cheaper trial run with workers, paid essentially to prove their worth around their work environment. Your thoughts?

I'm wondering how many of us have a particularly, set minimal for cashing out personal earnings, given I'm kinda new at this...
