i don't believe in spanking for every little thing. i was spanked when i was little not with a belt or anything though. if i was misbehaving in the grocery store and wouldn't stop i would get a swift hard pop on my butt to get my attention. or if i was in a restaurant and i wouldn't stop acting up all my mom had to do was, ' if you don't stop i'm going to count to three and then we are going to the bathroom' that always made me stop too. i rarely got spanked, i was scared of getting spanked especially in a public place (restaurant, grocery store, doctors office, etc etc) where i could potentially misbehave.
i will not spank just to spank. however dh and i will spank our kids. if spanking is done in the correct way (i know how can you say correct way when you are talking about hitting your kids) or correcet circumstances i think it can be an effect discipline tool.
