re: #587 bolivar

There is no excuse to hit a woman - nor is there an excuse to hit a man - so there! Violence breeds violence. I am no peacenik and if somebody hits me they better watch out but, I try to work stuff out verbally and with reason. People that have to hit have small intellects. Do you agree?

I agree, but other factors include alcohol and drug abuse, cultural (as in Islam where it’s OK to hit your wife where it won’t leave bruises visible to others), power -

Just today a story in the Daily Telegraph tells of a well known psychiatrist hitting his partner around the head while they were boarding a Qantas flight!
