I'm glad I was born in 63. My twin brothers, born in 51, got the belt on a regular basis. I can't imagine it ever looked like that though. For me, he would tell me I was going to get a spanking (on the rear end), let me think about it for an hour or so, then give me a couple of good swats on the butt. There was no anger or swearing. I suspect it was the same for my brothers with the belt. (plus - on a side note, they regularly beat the snot out of one another!)
He was a kind and loving father. But back then, I think he thought he was supposed to do this or they would turn out bad. They turned out to productive members of society and loving fathers themselves. None of us really ever spanked our children though.
That was certainly disturbing.
