Is it okay to beat your spouse as long as you tell them you love them?

[LostinVA]

According to the "logic" I've been reading on here the last two days, the answer would be "YES!" I'm hoping some of you can explain this "logic" to me.

1. Or... it's OK to beat your spouse

because you have a brilliant secret PLAN. And they just are privy to it yet.

But all will become clear and soon the spouse will be really really happy about it. Real Soon Now. Any day. We promise.

4. ha!

18. And never mind about those previous broken promises. THIS time all will be well!

2. it is never o.k. to beat your spouse!!!

3. I thought it was because they asked for it.

5. The bigger question is, why does the beaten spouse keep going back?

I thought he learned a lesson in sensitivity after the McClurkin affair.
We now know that he did not.

I am still furious, and in my view, Obama quit me.
I wish him well, but he is going to have to prove- with his deeds -his support of the gay community.

13. Right you are.

Thank you.

:thumbsup:

25. I'm not going back. Two black eyes are enough for me, thanks.

One little punch. (Oh, it was an accident.) Now a big knock in the face. No. No way. Not unless he gets counseling and therapy. And not from RW nutbags.

7. Biblically, it's okay

so long as you use a rod no thicker than your thumb.

8. True -- the rule of thumb

10. Where's my sammich?!!!

Should you tell them you love them while you beat them, or wait until you're done?

[Deep13]

11. Beating your spouse is okay if you are a good provider.

So, it is okay for the president to throw a blameless, major constituency under the bus if it gets the economy working. Remember all the time we squandered on racial equality? Geez!

14. Well, I was just told,"Patience is a Virtue"

And that the Montgomery bus boycott took a year to work.

Stonewall was 40 years ago. Prop 8 happened a few weeks ago.

[Deep13]

16. Patience is only a virtue if one believes she will be rewarded in the afterlife...

...for enduring injustice on Earth. I have to agree with Pri's post about having only one life in which to enjoy ones rights.

Just to be clear, my remark about racial equality simply meant that just because something was hard or unpopular does not mean it was not right or worth doing.

15. It's heart breaking

Not only the amount of people showing their true colors, but that they do it without fear of consequences.

19. Humping the alert button day and night might be helpful.

[Marrah_G]

20. I have been

I alert and then ignore. I've added maybe 100 people in 2 days. I don't want anything to do with people like that, ever again.

21. You're doing better than me. I've taken to skimming threads and posts.

It's incredible to me how many people are enjoying piling on gay people. Open up the floodgates.

17. Here's what I'm wondering: what would be enough? What would have to happen?

What would be enough for the fans to say, stop, this is not right, stop? What would have to happen, in order for the justifiers to get it? It's a disturbing question to me, because I'm starting to think the answer is a frightening one.

22. Well, thanks to Bush, the bar is set so low now that it's hard to say when they'd complain.

After the current administration's non-stop coddling of the Religious Right, Obama picking Warren to give an invocation (or what-do-you-call-it) probably seems like small potatoes, especially to a person still wearing those rose-tinted Obama glasses. So how do we get through to people that he's not perfect, and in fact far from it? I honestly don't know...

[LostinVA]

23. Nothing -- because I think the huge majority of them honestly ahve something wrong with them

I think they are sociopaths. I'm serious. Look at the many "hardcore" Primary Warriors who ahve been taken aback by this and have posted,"This is wrong!" I have made a point of thanking them publicly and/or privately. This rest actually justifying this and mocking us are homophobic little creeps.

I wish Skinner would post a thread addressing this, and how they need to STFU, but his thread this morning has shown he won't eb doing that anytime soon. No Mods, this isn't a callout of Skinner.

24. No, it's just okay to flog them
