Levels of Violence

If you hit a child, that's child abuse.

If you hit a family member, that's abuse.

If you kill either, it's murder for some reason.

If it's a whole family, it's genocide for another reason.

Alright listen up, chucklenuts! So, if you smack a kid, that's bad, right? We call it "child abuse". Then, if you clobber your cousin Vinny, that's just regular "abuse". Now, here's where your brain gets a workout: Offing either one is "murder". But, if you wipe out the whole family, bam, "genocide"! Different words for different levels of messed up, ya dig? Now go back to drooling.
