I would get my ass kicked as a kid...not abuse at all, but when i screwed up, i got what was coming to me. And that's why i'm still behaved and respectful today....never been in trouble with the law, etc....i think good discipline gets overlooked in today's world...

Not true! I use both of those on my son and they work with great effect. Even at two he feels shame and a sense of doing wrong. To me hitting a child is the easy way to discipline.
I was never once hit by my parents and I like to think I turned out pretty damn good.
I also think if you do want to hit your child, in reason, that is your choice to raise your child. I personally don't think it is effective.
