I personally have never found it necessary to strike my child in the 12 years he's been alive.
Your right unfortunatly abusers tend to fly that flag, but so what. That is no different than hearing someone say all black men are lazy or criminals. It is one thing to hear something like that, than it is to change your life to deal with 'all black' men in that way.
Honestly, Drich - I have no idea how you came up with that based on what you quoted.
