If anyone needs to use violence, it's because they have failed in some other aspect.
As Asimov said, "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent."
Strangely, nobody has ever called my wife, mother, grandmother or friends anything other than respectful and pleasant things, and I haven't had to beat anyone in my life!
If someone is stupid enough to be holding a live grenade and starts pulling the pin out - I have to take some <u>responsibility</u> and ask myself, why, in the normal course of events, was I in a situation where someone *that* dumb got to be standing next to me, holding a live grenade? I mean come on...I'd have to be pretty complacent in my day to day life before I found myself having to consider the practical ethics of that situation. Thankfully, I've not had to worry about that one so far.
But all this just sounds like an excuse for a lot of posturing and stating the obvious and the usual "Hurt my family, and I will kill you" lines that you normally hear at this point, so I will respectfully back away and leave you guys to it.
Yes, violence happens. No it's not a good thing. Yes, it happens anyway. Let's at least agree to try and keep it to a minimum please?
