Where do you draw the line of violence. Is it hypocrisy to be against beating a wife but supporting war and spanking your kids? What if your wife was in your mind and culture, like a child. I know a lot of people who wouldn't bat an eye at spanking a kid, perhaps even switching him. I was spanked and for all my faults I don't attribute any undue psychological trauma to it. I fought with my brothers for years, and we had some serious tussles. I think that's to an extent, normal.
I would never raise a hand against a woman, but I really want to know how someone can draw the line of violence at a certain point.

I draw the line at violence against other people. I don't support the war in Iraq and I don't hit my kids.
Violence simply begets more violence. Escalation only ends up hurting or killing us all.
There are other methods... problem is they take a lot more time to see results. Most people would rather just reach out and whack someone than think it through. They want their answers and solutions now. Unfortunatley, it just doesn't work like that.
