Psychology is entirely against corporal punishment. But then again the only headway they've made with serial killers is determining they suffer from anti-social disorder.

The same applies to adults, dude.
The fact is that if we accept that corporal punishment is acceptable, then this is the only type of violence in society that is sanctioned. Think about it, police beating pedestrians? Not okay. Prison guards beating prisoners? Not okay. Military beating war prisoners? Not okay (Geneva convention). But parents beating kids? That's okay.
In other words, you sanction violence against the very weakest group in society, a group that can't defend itself. And by perpetrators who already have huge psychological power over the victims without even making it physical.
It's sick, that's what it is.

Woah, theres absolutely no comparison between corporal punishment for kids and all the other examples you mentioned. For one, beating kids isn't what you make it out to be, acceptable corporal punishment does not leave any scars or long term bruises or anything like that. For example, my dad used to kick me in the buttocks 
, that never left any long term harm but it did make me more disciplined and it did make me understand that what i did was wrong, and that if i did it again, there would be consequences.

Like I said, it's the only form of violence we consider accepting. It's not right.
Its not the only way. But in some cases it might be necessary.
Reasoning with some kids just doesn't work.
No once people are grown up, they are responsible for their own actions. Plus, even as a kid, getting beat by anyone other than your parents is not acceptable, unless parents consent to someone else(school for example) to disciplining their kid outside home.

Parents aren't perfect, right upbringing goes a long way and is a major factor but fact is that a child is his/her own self, their own characteristics, even at a young age they will decide what they do, no matter how much parenting you give (although this parenting is a major factor.) So you can't really say just because a kid does something bad it's their parents' fault, what parents should do is rectify them. Personally, I think it's okay to give a beating to a child, not regularly, but for something they should never, ever repeat again - if you beat your child on a regular basis it defeats the purpose, they get used to the physical pain. But if you do it only on certain cases they, well at least I, got the idea that I've done something terribly wrong and that I never should do that again. And I haven't.
Same here, i rarely got beat by my parents, but when i did, its when i did something really wrong.
In contrast with what happened in my school, where beatings with a cane or a ruler where almost a daily fixture, i didn't care much anymore about getting hit in school, instead getting beat was what happened to the "cool" kids in school.

What a coincidence, I was going to post something along the lines of "are we talking about raising a kid or a dog here?", but decided not to because it might have sounded a bit harsh
Who said anything about reasoning?
Of course reasoning with kids doesn't always work, simply because what you believe to reasonable or logic is different from how a (young) child looks at things.
