Do bumper car wheels spin all the way around?

A friend and I have conflicting opinions. I think that when you turn the steering wheel you can make the wheels spin around forever in the same direction, and the steering wheel doesn't reach a stopping point. Maybe that's why so many people get stuck and can't go in the right direction. Does anyone know the answer?

Is power steering harmed by turning the front wheels when the car is not moving, but the engine is running?

A friend of mine insists that it is hard on a car's power steering system to turn the front wheels when the car engine is on but the car is stationary. Obviously, twisting the steering wheel back and forth in this situation would be abusive, as would be too much lock-to-lock turning. No, we are talking about turning/straightening the wheels in a parking space, or turning the wheels in order to leave a parking space, but before the car has begun to move. I think the system is robust enough and designed for these applications and that such use does not constitute abuse. FYI - the car in question is a 2004 3-series BMW.
