Your mom obviously didn't hit you hard enough then. If I ever cursed when I was younger I got a good ass whooping, especially if it was towards an authority figure. Also, there are still certain things I think twice about doing even though I know I won't get slapped anymore. Spanking can be effective if it is done properly, it's when it's used all the time that it loses it's value.
