Yes, because slapping someone in the face is exactly equivalent to giving them a brutal beating resulting in lasting physical harm.

WHY does this topic come up so much in hacker/geek culture? Seriously, I'm starting to believe there are guys walking around who WANT to be slapped, just so they can finally live out their "equal rights mean equal lefts" fantasy.

Regardless, I don't like the idea of slapping someone. I think we can come up with a better idea, like the cards.
