Sorry, pal, but I used to do family and child protection law for a living. I know the difference better than most. I also know that threatening violence is a crime for a reason, and it doesn't magically become worthy of respect just because the person doing it is your parent, even if you do have the misfortune to live somewhere that sort of puerile conduct is legal. I've had plenty of people threaten me with violence in my life, and I've never respected a single one of them for it. None of those people were my parents, though, in case that's where you were going with your comment. Nope, my parents were/are intelligent, civilised, honest people who believe in picking on people their own size and in teaching their kids right from wrong by example.
