Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM
How does protection from emotional/mental assaults fall under said term? I'm just curious--I can't imagine that non-physical abuse would be condoned simply because it does not affect one's physical person.


Walk away if you don't like the words. Trying to outlaw words or feelings or actions based on the effect on someone's feelings is a violation of essential personal liberty. "Emotional abuse" should not be legally recognized.

Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 943 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 766 Views

okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 694 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 723 Views

You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 811 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 841 Views
