How old I am is irrelevant, as are both of your examples above, since neither qualifies for the "beating" descriptor. When you say that children aren't beaten enough, you are stating that children aren't physically injured enough through repetitive blows, since that's basically what the term means.
Or just possibly he was exaggerating for humourous effect.
Hard to believe you seriously think Norfleet was advocating child-abuse during a discussion about Dominions 2 strategy. Looks like an attack of deliberate obtuseness to me. |
