Greg: Name calling aside.. there is some truth to your arguments. I believe that physical abusers are fixable. Sexual abusers, never.
Many of the physically abused manage to break the cycle but not nearly enough. I just wish the statistics were so favourable for the sexual abuse victims but the sad reality is that they are not. I can see that as an advocate for the abused, this bothers you. Why wouldn't it? They are and always will be victims. We know that.
Baldeagle 2: I thought Slag & Kendall were having a decent debate for the most part. If you can get through some of the side issues you will find a reasonable exchange taking place.
On another issue related to this topic: Self examination can be a painful process. Some would rather be beaten than face their issues. Note the references to the "honest spanking rather than the psychology". Others would rather leave the room than challenge what they had previously thought to be true. The latter may well be in the process of changing their minds and just need the space to do so.
It's a complex issue, Baldeagle 2. Too complex for one liners and gruff pirate voices.
