I think a wife should be beaten for being a whore. Whores should be punished. Rape?? Well if bitches don’t wana get raped the stop provoking men stupid whores. If my wife disobeyed me I’d also beat her down. Damn bitches should never disobey a man, any man not just her husband I’d also beat her if she disobeyed my brother or father. Women are slaves to men; never ever should they go against a man we are not equal, men are superior to women. Women are here to serve us.

Time July 4, 2012 at 4:49 pm
This law is outrageous!!! You should be able to beat your wife as well as any other female as long as they are in your residence outside of the city limits. There shouldn’t be a cut off time of 8pm. Bitches trip anytime of the day or night and there is no law against that. Females need a daily beating to remind them that we are superior and that if you do it right the first time then you won’t get your ass whooped and made to do it again. You should be able to beat them with whatever you please regardless of the size. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If my wife forgot to put my uniform (yes im a policeman) in the wash, I would beat her with something much bigger than my thumb. But if she just spoke out of turn i would just smack the shit out of her. Our country was born on beating women. you know why we really left England, because we could only beat our women once a year and you couldn’t tell anybody. Fuck that I love to brag. I will give it to them though, women are learning. They are learning to like it. It will never stop. I beat my wife religiously regardless if i;m drunk or not. I will never disobey our heritage. Long live america and our laws to fuck our women up when they get out of line. It really cuts down on the violence rate. By the name you would think that i was a nigger. WRONG! I am not a white trash whiteboy from the trailerpark either. As i said earlier I’m a bad ass cop from Washington. If you agree on this post and beat your wife immediately without telling her why you did it for atleast a week with regular beatings in between that time. If you fail to do so then you are a disgrace to America and you should be beaten like one of those bitches as well. I would post this shit on facebook but they wont let me. O well better look next time and if you look the wrong way I;m going to beat your ass again Bitch! Always make sure after you beat them you tell them how much you love them and why they deserved it and its all they’re fault. This will ensure that they will stay so you can beat them again. You practically havent lived til’ you have (quote)(unquote) smacked a bitch up. WARNING Doing this in public may cause extreme euphoria and possible oragasm if done for to long or receive any help from bystanders. I can go all day on this topic. I dont know what it is but you would be suprised that i have no domestic Violence charges. There is a proper way to beat a bitch and i am living proof. I will explain many ways to beat your wife in the following blogs, including the notorious dick slap as well as the Pie smash-bitch slap-clit tap and the peanut butter smash. Let me get some feedback and then i will direct you to my beat-a-bitch-101 class. Til next time… I’M RICK JAMES BITCH1111

She will literally hit herself in the face til it swells up when i threaten to call the police. I hate my life.

And to the cop from Washington… LMAO I’m about to show your post to my bf and I’m sure he will agree 100%! too funny! I’m sure u will piss a lot of women off w that, but not THIS woman!
All you ladies that think y’all are bad asses n saying that If your hubby or whoever ever hit you, that u would beat their ass — umm no, u wouldn’t. Bc if u got hit, all u would do is cry, and call the police to have him arrested… Try a gun if u decide to fight back n be a badass bc your man will more than likely kill your ass or at least knock u unconcious if u are lucky! WOMEN — IF U ARE MAN ENOUGH TO HIT A MAN, THEN U BETTER BE MAN ENOUGH TO GET HIT BACK BY A MAN!!!!! Remember that
Shit the next time u decide to be a badass and “beat his ass”.

I wonder why people think it is good to just beat their wives. They may not kill them, but they can beat them to a bloody pulp where they can’t walk, talk,or even sleep for the matter. I wonder what has become of the U.S., if people hate us I do not blame them. If the wives kill their husbands or threaten to leave them but then get beaten or killed I don’t blame them. But no matter what, this forum is worthless. You can joke about beating your wife, you can complain, you can threaten, but no matter what…Arkansas will not give a damn to this forum. Why do we argue in this forum when we can’t do it in person? If ya really think it’s wrong then do something about it. Don’t just sit and tell people it’s wrong or right. And to those people who will argue and troll this comment, I DON’T GIVE A DAMN. Be advised I will never read this comment nor yours again, don’t care what you do with it, I will never return.

If a woman feels that she is never subject to her husbands wrath/ she will never respect her husband. All mention how ducked up this law is but all fail to mention that it takes a stern attention fetter for the man to have some respect. Legal entities have sided with women so much. Till if a man raises his voice she can call the cops and claim emotional abuse. So women you leave us no others choice but to pray a curse. Over you. For if God beat’yo’ass all you gone do is taken it shut da fuk up and sit down. Can’t. Call cops on GOd.

You stupid women that hit your men, cheat on them, call them names, you all need to be beaten twice a month. I can say I was a shy nice guy until my ex did all those things to me and changed me for good. Im Tired of you no good women ruining us good men and then wanting us to bring you our paycheck, fix everything, figure out how to pay bills, and carry the family through bad times . You women need that beating. The woman that aren’t like that and can respect how hard a man works and not abuse him verbally, physically, or stress him out; I hope there are more like you out there and can teach the younger generation to appreciate men.

@Rickjames SO YOU THINK THAT WOMEN DESERVE TO BE BEATEN BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE’RE BORN? THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HURT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BREASTS AND A VAGINA? AND YOU HASVE A PENIS?
I’M WAY PAST DISGUSTED WITH YOU.
@nice guy Look, I’m sorry you had a bad experience with one person. But is it honestly fair to judge half the world’s population on one person? Should I judge all the men in the world on one guy who rapes, beats and kills women?
Plenty of women work too, you know. My father was a stay-at-home dad for years while my mother worked as a doctor, supporting my family.
@Makalani jones In a REAL relationship a woman doesn’t need to submit to her husband, they share common interests and make decisions TOGETHER that are GOOD for BOTH of them.

I am a woman, and yes, I do disagree with this law. And all the men that do agree with it are messed up. Nobody NEEDS to be beat. There is a solution to everything that doesn’t require hitting. My fiance was abused by a past girlfriend, and so it is not only men that do this crap. To solve an issue you must talk through it, not resort to violence. If men or women do something that you absolutely cannot tolerate, talk to them about it, and if things get out of control (such as cheating) then leave them.

Seriously some of the comments on this law are really ignorant.. If you honestly think this very old outdated law would actually hold up then don’t go to the courthouse on a Sunday with your husband before 8pm!!(lol)
If you think about it if a wife is going to be beat by her husband it probably wouldn’t be out in a public area!! Most men that do beat their wives tend to do it in a private location.. So all worries out the door it doesn’t really happen in public legally:-|

you males would NOT like it if the shoe was on the other foot.

how would you feel if stranger just decided to abuse a family member just because he thought it was ok?.

treat others including women on how YOU wish to be treated by that person.

As a 5-foot-one girl who’s been beaten on by her 6-foot-three brother before, I can say it hurts like shit. It’s one thing to say you should be man enough to be hit by a guy if you’re man enough to hit one. But the difference in brute strength and the damage it causes is quite different. Sure; he might have walked away with bruises, but I had difficulties walking for a week. Even bathing was painful.
