I agree with all your points and not only are they well stated but they are clearly backed with evidence. It seems that the only case in this case is to vote "Yes"

Of course. The opposition's arguments all revolve around the three points that 1) It is your job to tell other parents how to raise their children 2) Spanking is inhumane and 3) Spanking is ineffective.

First, let it be observed that the prompt states "is it okay to spank children" not "should you spank your children". Other parents do not tell you to spank your children, why do you have the right to tell other parents that they should not spank theirs? In a pluralist society such as this one, freedom of choice and will are key aspects which makes it what it is, to violate other people's right to discipline their child in order to make them a better functioning member of society would be to trample on the ideals of the pluralist society itself. That's not to say child abuse should be allowed, because Child Abuse is not spanking in any sense and illegal and perpetrators should be swiftly dealt justice to.

Next, we must address how spanking is inhumane. It is as inhumane as you lecturing your children on how staying past curfew is immoral. Spanking simply adds a minor physical aspect to this lecture, and makes it more memorable. But enough of that, the effectiveness will be addressed in a later paragraph. Since it done with the intent to help, not harm, it cannot be considered inhumane, even at the slightest degree. Using physical methods in order to better incorporate offspring into society has been a popular methods since the beginning of mankind, and as you obviously can observe, mankind is still here. It causes little detriment, emulating a net positive, and the objection that spanking is inhumane should be as quickly as discarded as the objection that water is in fact, not wet.

Lastly, opponents will attempt to claim that spanking should not be allowed because it is ineffective. However, the exact opposite is true. In an unbiased joint-study conducted by CNN analysts and BBC experts, it showed that children who endured spanking in their early childhood showed much better capacity for not only the ability to follow directions, but to show empathy and compassion for their fellow peers. Moreover, Children who have been spanked have a 42.58% reduced chance to commit minor crimes later on in their career, as proven by an open sourced study conducted by The Economists with support through commentaries from The Wall Street Journal.

Although this may seem like a trivial matter, it is, in fact a major one that has garnered attention on the national stage from Democrats and Republicans alike. Although there are opposing views, as with any debate and/or disagreement, the answer to the question "is spanking ok" is an undeniable yes as in a pluralist society parents have the freedom of choice in raising their own children, it is completely humane, and it promotes better integration into society for children who lack the basic moral values to do so independently. Thank you everyone, I invoke you to vote yes.
