Uhm, fucking yeah, very wrong, just like the tens of thousands of years before that where rape was a common practice to spread human genes.
"Society has progressed despite people being abusive, murderous, raping, sadists, so it's ok" pretty much the dumbest argument in the book.
glad we cleared it up. it's unfortunate, however, that it took this long in our history for some one like you to have the perfect answer to this question. might i ask what other touchy subjects we can get your enlightenment on?
Rape is an issue that typically everyone (i say that because i have to factor in the nut jobs) can agree is wrong in todays society. thats not the case with spanking.
my point is mild punishment should continue to be allowed at the parents discretion. if they are excessive, let the courts figure it out, but i refuse to believe it's as barbaric and has as huge a negative impact as you're making it sound.

...while I have no major issue with mild corporal punishment as a form of reinforcement what Adrian Peterson did to his son is in fact serious physical abuse and rightly classified as criminal .
and I'm perfectly comfortable with him being charged if they deemed it excessive.
