And then you RABBIT PUNCH them, right? Right at the base of the skull. CRACK. Otherwise you'd have an actual fight on your hands.
Would you spank your child?

I have 3 well-behaved, well-adjusted and respectful children. Number of spankings = 0.

Spanking is child abuse. Period.

Lots of adults need smackings too. Just because they're children doesn't been they can be taken advantage of.

Only a female, if you know what I mean... 
Seriously, no, because they can hit back. Plus it does nothing. Adults are too old to learn. Spanking is a teaching tool.

Just because children aren't as intellectually mature doesn't mean they have rights. There's a reason pedophilia is illegal.

Right, children have no rights other than to not be sexed by old people or seriously hurt or not fed. Otherwise, they do what they're told or get the cane.
Let me get this straight: you think it's "taking advantage" of children, if we apply a standard to them that we don't apply to adults? Lots of adults need a time out too, but we aren't allowed to give it to them (unless they commit a crime). By your logic, then, we shouldn't put little Timmy in the corner.
Just because we can't do something to adults, doesn't mean we can't do it to children. I think you're confused - children aren't adults, and don't have the same rights that adults do. Discipline can be abusive, but not if it's applied properly. Corporal punishment is merely a certain form of discipline, which can be abusive, or non-abusive, depending on the severity of the punishment, and whether it is fairly applied. In the same way, non-corporal punishment can be applied in an abusive manner. How you do something is just as important as what you do, quite often.
Do you believe that spanking is always abusive, or counterproductive? I'm curious.

keeping it real
She's one year old. The "naughtiest" thing she did was probably refuse to give me back an object I handed her when I held my hand out. A nice backhand to the face & she immediately dropped it however!
Note : clearly I am not serious.
She loves throwing stuff down off a great height (like a high-chair) in various directions & watching me pick it up. I don't consider this at all naughty & actually enjoy playing this game with her (I even keep score, anytime she throws it fast enough & at a angle I don't predict & it hits that ground she gets a point, if I manage to predict & catch it I get one.
(she's not being "bad", she's learning about gravity, if I was hitting her I'm not sure what she'd be learning)That's like saying that calling grabbing a woman's ass in the supermarket line a sex crime nakes a mockery of those who've been raped.
If it's not physical assault (with intent to cause at least some unwanted physical pain as well as humiliation) what exactly is it?
Very well put.
Tip to parents of "bad" children. If you have the urge to smack your kid smack yourself instead, because you're the #1 person the child learns behavior from (besides their mother maybe, hmm, that naturally leads to the next question - when is it ok to smack your wife?).

Much better to mentally abuse and neglect kids like has been done the past few decades of childraising, right?

How about neither!

Well that never happens so might as well choose the parenting style that leads to healthy productive kids(spanking)
