I'd say there's a difference between "abuse" and getting a smack on the bottom, no?
Indeed.
When I did some stupid crap, I mean REALLY, REALLY stupid things as a little kid, I got a few slaps, and.. well some of you might think this is abusing, but I had to make order on my Cupboard, then my parent threw everything off yelling at me and I had to start it again, and again, AND AGAIN until I literally regret what I've done and promised to not do it again. There were other things but those are not public to anyone.
Of course in the so "civilized" West even this might seem like child abuse, because they're so closed minded.
But at least I'm not an imbecile, like the other young generations, who:
-Don't know their place
-Disrespect anything and anyone
-Living around so narrow minded and dumb/ignorant that even looking at them hurts.
