The thing is, people can't take the poll seriously, and therefore it will not render serious results. The previously stated "If nothing else worked but physical violence, would you do it or not?" makes this question into a strict hypothetical, because this isn't the black and white issue you are posing it to be. Hypothetical questions will only garner flawed answers (as well as deserved criticism), mainly because the question and premise itself is flawed.
Spank your kids or have spoiled brats?
