All of Ben's examples are correct uses of violence in my eyes (I haven't read the rest of this thread yet). If I had been typing more coherently, I would have said "violence should never be a first response to a non-violent situation".

My specific response was to another user's claim that he saw physical violence as a useful response to react to hurt feelings.

/edit: Ah, it was Ustwo. He's all over this thread as well with the same thoughts.
