We are discussing whether the charges brought against this mother are bs. or valid. Either you think so or you don't. I for one think the charges are bullshit as the government is again overstepping it's boundaries.

Whether you think what she did is moral, sadistic or cruel is purely subjective and to state someone doesn't "get it" because they don't agree with you on a subjective matter is assinine.

Abuse can be physical(beating) or psychological.
This is definitely the latter, whether you agree with it or not.

It isn't the same thing. I never said it was. I said it should not be ILLEGAL. Maybe you don't get it.

Again I never said it wasn't abuse...I said that it should not be illegal.

People are abused ALL THE TIME. It's life, YOU deal with it, not the government unless it is taking away your right to freedom.

Then why would you quote Kelly and say "spare us, like you wouldn't set a trap for a rat" as an argument? Do you often make senseless arguments?

Wait, don't answer that.

To your new point, child abuse shouldn't be illegal.

And I don't get it.

Btw it is illegal to psychologically abuse a child, every bit as much as it's illegal to physically abuse one. And it is everybit as damaging to the child.

Is there a child out there who hasn't been psychologically abused by their parents. From what I hear, that's half the fun of parenting.

1. Kill a hamster / kill a rat. Same difference.
2. Making a kid kill a hamster is not child abuse IMO. If you think differently, so be it.

Name one....unless you are threatening the kid without actually touching him.

And this is where I'll stop arguing with you. Not because you're right, but because teaching you common sense would be harder than describing a rainbow to a blind person.

You have not once argued with me on this subject, so don't give yourself any credit. The only thing you have brought to the table was "you don't get it" and "teaching you common sense would be harder than describing a rainbow to a blind person". If you don't want to rationally discuss topics with me without making constant belitting comments, then don't reply to my posts. I don't want to hear it anymore pal.
