Spanking

I was spanked as a kid, and let me tell you, it never taught me any lesson or respect.

I was like;
“Really, you're going to hit me as punishment? Yeah, just try to tell me violence is wrong after that."

"It's on my butt so it doesn't count or something? Ok, I'll just hit people on the butt from now on. That's not ok? Gee, go figure."

"Oh, now you're going to hit me as punishment for hitting someone? Explain how that makes sense, is ok, and isn't hypocritical."

"Because you're an adult and I'm a child? You just taught your kid it's ok to hit people so long as you're bigger and stronger than them, way to go, great parenting there."

"Don't talk back? Well, I guess I should've known you wouldn't be able to have a logical conversation about this, but it's kind of sad that you have to resort to telling a kid to shut up because they're smarter than you.”

Seriously, I said all that to my parents.
Well, there was a lot more swearing in it when I said it back then, but I figured I'd keep that out when I wrote it here.

Them spanking me, and not being able to answer all those questions, actually made me lose a significant amount of respect for them.

The only thing it ever accomplished was making me love spanking in a sexual way, and somehow I doubt that was their intent.
