Whew, have not been able to be at the computer much today so have had a lot of catching up to do. Thanks everyone, it's been a really interesting read.

Firstly, salax, if this thread has convinced you that giving your wife a whipping is wrong then we have really accomplished something. You were honest to give your opinion and we did not have to beat you to make you change your mind.

See what you can accomplish with dialogue!!! :)

Secondly, I wish people were so outraged at the beating of children. Somehow giving your children a smack every now and then is much more socially acceptable than doing it to your wife.

Why???. I guess that is another topic for discussion.
