Indeed. Noticed how parents who are frequently beaten by their parents are arseholes and bullies?

I look at the benefits and take the negative into considerations too, but I was waiting for you to point them out. :P Otherwise there's no point in me discussing it here lol

That doesn't mean that anyone would try to support such a teaching methodology, even though it is just the logical extension of corporal punishment.

This still doesn't disprove the effectiveness of corporal punishment, though. You need to focus more on proving how corporal punishment is ineffective rather than giving obscure theoretical counter-examples.
Is corporal punishment effective or ineffective? Does the benefit of corporal punishment justify the means? What is the significance of corporal punishments, e.g. how do they contribute to the society? How do they detract from the society? These are the questions you need to tackle.
Btw killing students is not good even from a utilitarian point of view because that means less people who could potentially become productive if only they were fostered the right way. It's waste of talents.

Personally I think life's a bit too short to argue with someone who knows they're wrong on the internet, if you'd have caught me 5 years ago maybe I'd be more game.
I suggest you read up on psychological studies to better educate yourself about the ramifications etc. Rather than getting me to google it and quote things at you.

That's no fun. :(
Btw just reading psychological studies are not enough. To gain real practical knowledge you have to experience it yourself. I know the ramification of corporal punishment, and I know the positive and negative effects it had in me.
