Honor in the World?

[Lizardiar]

Is there any honor in the world anymore?

It should be common sense that a man should never hit a woman, yet it happens all the time.
People should never hit a kid in anger, yet it still happens.

So, I ask you NSG.
Is there any honor in the world anymore?

By saying "anymore" you make it sound as if one time in the world, men would never hit a woman.

Indeed. Men weren't supposed to hit women but they did all the time.

Lizardiar, you've discovered a great truth: Human beings are not perfect. We shall henceforth call this Lizardiar's Observation.

We do the best we can. Sometimes we fall short of the mark we set ourselves.

Now hold on for a sec, I think there's an important questions here: Why should a man never hit a woman?

No, this is a serious question, not snarkiness. Assuming we are not subscribing to the belief that women are either superior or inferior to men (Both of which preclude hitting them, since you should never strike someone weaker than you, and you shouldn't hit someone better than you, either) then why should their gender have any impact, either positive or negative, on if they should or should not be hit?

I, personally, subscribe to the belief that you should never hit anyone, but that's from a general sense of pacifism that finds violence abhorrent. If something were to happen to get me to strike someone, man or woman, then they'd damn well deserve it, and their gender should not serve as a protection from their just rewards.

This is NSG. We are snarkiness incarnate.

You're right, though, no one should hit anyone else, save in defense and to prevent physical injury to one's self. Gender should not have anything to do with the matter.

I agree. This is a horrible, dastardly thing, but it isn't uncommon.

So if a woman slaps you, you would slug her?

[Parthenon]

What do you mean by hitting a kid in anger? Does that include spanking for disciplinary purposes?

[Desperate Measures]

I'm often forced to duel when strange men walk up and punch my wife right in the goddamned face.

[Lizardiar]

What do you mean by hitting a kid in anger? Does that include spanking for disciplinary purposes?

No, not as discipline, I meant that the kid did something you didn't like, not breaking any rules, and you choke the child or just beat him/her.

[Tarlachia]

That's certainly a moment of you standing over your wife for a moment, "What the hell did you do to deserve that?" before knocking out the offending asshole.

[Exilia and Colonies]

I must admit, being a Brit I rarely encounter honor.

No, would you?

[Greed and Death]

honor is a means not an ends.

No, not as discipline, I meant that the kid did something you didn't like, not breaking any rules, and you choke the child or just beat him/her.

So choking and/or beating is OK as long as its not done while angry and the child broke a rule?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I think there is some honor left in the world. Not much, but some is left.

People should never hit a kid in anger, yet it still happens.

Well if we're going by those exemples, we're living in the most honorable time as of yet. And so far it seems it's only going to improve more.

No it's never right to do that to a kid.

As in discipline, I meant smacking the hands and saying "No!"

It should be common sense that PEOPLE should never hit OTHER PEOPLE.

So if a woman slaps you, you would slug her?

Why should a woman get a free pass for slapping someone?

[NERVUN]

Just out of curisoity, how does honor relate to hitting anybody? I mean, unless we're dealing with Klingons (At which case smaking your woman arround is not only acceptable, but the start of a wonderful relationship), I'm not too sure how you're tying the idea of honor into DV.

[Farnhamia]

So if a woman slaps you, you would slug her?

Why should a woman get a free pass for slapping someone?

So you automatically hit back? No.

If she was attacking me, yes.

You don't spank in anger...

Uh... Kat IS a woman you know. She'd probably have no qualms about hitting back.

I mean, look at that poor police horse.

I'm gonna get hit now, aren't I?
