ORIGINAL: crazyml I googled violence, and it seems that you've used the wikipedia definition. If you take the trouble to look further down the list you'll see that violence also includes "an unjust, unwarranted, or unlawful display of force,". Oh, I didn't miss that. Do you have an argument to go with this statement that demonstrates how this has any relevance to what I am talking about? Yes, indeed I do. quote:
I hope it's a good one, Oh, you won't be disappointed quote:
because if your going to take the stance that unlawfulness defines violence, then your throwing S/M under that umbrella as well with the legal controversy that surrounds it. And if that's the case, then based on reading your profile, your one of those "fucking losers" who needs to use acts of violence in the bedroom to get his rocks off. Goodness me, it's a good thing that I'm not going to argue that. Phew! quote:
As far as unjust and unwarranted, completely subjective to the situation. The one time I slapped a submissive, we were both in agreement in the end that it was just and warranted. I am in agreement with my father that being disciplined with a belt as a child was warranted and just and I am grateful for the experience. The use of physical force in the situation described by the op, and in the nice little story about how you assaulted your young relative are both unequivocally unwarranted uses of violence. To help you understand the distinction - slapping a child (no matter how many times you were the victim of abuse as a child, or how you choose to rationalise the abuse) is unwarranted. On the other hand, if on discovering that someone had slapped a child of mine, I then tore the perpetrator's head off and shat down his or her neck, that would be perfectly warranted. Do you understand the distinction now? Of course this is subjective, I'm not laying down the law here - I'm voicing my personal opinion that the kind of person who uses unwarranted force in order to discipline someone is a fucking loser. You're very free to differ. In the context of the OP, and kink in general, this distinction is really, really important. If you settle an issue and even apologise for your part in causing it, then there is no way on earth that any subsequent punishment is warranted. In the example you use, you slapped a child (no matter how lightly) and in doing so you created a context within which it's "ok" to use physical force to settle an issue. To me in my own, and very subjective, opinion this demonstrates a huge failure in leadership. If however you're in a relationship where some degree of physical force is expected (and consented to) then it certainly may be "warranted". As you point out, I have a mildly sadistic streak which I'm delighted to satisfy with a suitably consenting playmate. And that is perfectly fine and dandy too. But if I were unable to control a submissive partner, beyond agreed play, without having to resort to physical force, then I would regard it as a failing on my part, not hers. quote:
In short, your stretching. Your stance doesn't really have much merit and to compensate for that, your now pushing buttons like a petty sadist or small child. So now you seek to win your argument by likening my response to that of a petty sadist or a small child. For a self-professed "leader type" I would have expected that that kind of whining would be beneath you. But hey... go ahead, I've got broad shoulders, and I'm very happy to behave like a jackass too. So in return can I give you some feed back on your profile? There's one bit that is absolutely fucking hilarious... "If you can't put more effort into communication then a single sentence with more spelling errors and grammar problems then words, I am not interested." I'm assuming, given how literate you appear to be, that your misspelling of "than" on each occasion you use it is intended to be ironic? If so, then "bravo" it gave me a good old chortle. Oh and it's "you're" not "your". I'm sure these are typos, and that you'll be glad to fix them, I'd hate a prospective playmate to form the, doubtless wrong, impression that you're an illiterate asshat.
