I read through this entire thread and all I heard was, "Blah blah blah blah."
Folks, keep the discussion simple. Quit making it more than it is. Would you beat your spouse? If yes, then you think it's ok. If no, then you think it's not ok.
All this talk of "cultural differences" and "america is a big bully" are, albeit intelligently spoken and even has merit, COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC. Stay on one topic, and you'll avoid a big mess like this thread has turned into.
So in response to Shanifaye's original post: I believe the man's sentence should be that he has to allow his wife to beat him every day for as long as he has been beating her. I'll bet anything that she'll choose not to because she loves him, and chances are he'll realize that what he's been doing to her is pretty fucked up.
