Reply #71: I'm prefectly capable of seeing that others share different opinions. I'm justsaying yours is wrong.

It's really that simple.

I know what you're saying, and I think you're wrong. And I'm trying to show you how I think it is wrong.

Obviously, yes, we disagree. I think spanking is abuse. It's a violence-based system of "discipline" that relies on a TREMENDOUS power differential, and reinforces violence as a mode of "compromise" - that is, "do what I say, or I will pound the shit out of you". Kids are easy to spank because they can't fight back. It's like taking a tank to a game of tag. No contest.

In World of Warcraft, I love taking my level 80 druid to the level 1-10 areas because I can slaughter at will and know I am never at any risk whatsoever.

But I know that in the real world, that's immoral.
