Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random question: Is spanking your child illegal anywhere in the US? It's illegal in most countries, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Intellectually, I've never understood why battery is any better because its a child. It always seemed like an ownership thing to me, like the child is property.
Emotionally, there are plenty times when I've wanted to smack a child in my care and once that I did (she ran into traffic, I was 13... it was a nightmare).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think battery is generally illegal, athough often not enforced here. I mean, anyone who slaps another person has battered them, right? But most of them don't get arrested.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can see a swat on the bottom when they're still in that lizard brain stage and can't be reasoned with-of course I say this as someone who was never spanked as a child.

This is fine, but some of the other posts on this blog are NSFW.

Also, I am sad that the guy who did the fabulous Fabulon blog is calling it quits, due to personal difficulties.
Many images on Fabulon are NSFW. But it's an arty NSFW.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

IMO, all this teaches is that it's okay to hit. The lizard brain at that age is all about modeling adult behavior.

Awesome retro-scifi art: Thrilling Tales: The Toaster With TWO BRAINS
Here’s a retro science fiction pulp magazine cover for a magazine that doesn’t exist, but probably ought to: THRILLING TALES OF THE DOWNRIGHT UNUSUAL.
In this imaginary issue we have that nail-biting page turner “The Toaster with TWO BRAINS”, in which our heroes delve deep into the hostile lair of Doctor Rognvald, beneath the volcanoes of Iceland - only to discover that this evil genius has created the ultimate malevolent kitchen appliance: the Toaster with TWO BRAINS! Is it unstoppable? Immovable? Relentless? Horrifying? Unkillable? You bet it is.
Because a toaster with one brain isn’t terrifying. But two? Talk about the heebie-jeebies!
