Is there any circumstance okay to hit someone?

[fourandsixpants]

any?

[j*oono]

Paints, are you having a problem at home?  Are I hope you are ok.

[dskracing]

Yes

[punch*drunk]

Paints if you are having problems with violence at home (or elsewhere) there are places that can help you. You need to get away from whoever is hurting you.

If this is just a hypothetical, the advise still stands in case someone else who is reading this needs it.

If everyone shirked their duty to stand up for justice than injustice would prevail.

Walking away from injustice comes at a price that I for one am not willing to pay.

Unfortunately these days people turn a blind eye because they do not want to get involved and thereby making injustice more and more acceptable.

I am with flashie and punch...........

mess with me, and I may chose to walk away rather than cause or invite  trouble.......

but mess with my kid............no holds barred!

All I can say is that your daughter's unwanted suitor was fortunate that it was you...not me.

1. My rule has always been - if ever I was 'hit' - just once - that is it - once would be an invitation for more - gone.

(Which I have never been)

The fact that is - once it has happened - it will happen again - door is open. 

We can love them, forgive them - but not that - not ever.

  I think any mother, faced with a person attempting to, for example steal your toddler........ would go ballistic.... instincts would kick in.

Well....... I would all mothers would......

A man hitting a woman is never ok. It is a cowardly act.

It is refreshing to see that instinct still works in spite of all that conditioning 🙂
