'I'd rather lose a fight than hit a man when he was down.
I would only resort to something like that if I considered I was fighting for my life... in which case you just obviously resort to absolute maximum violence at the absolute first step.'
If its life or death, certainly defend your life - but hopefully, without becoming 'one of them' (who would steal it from anyone). I would sacrifice mine for the life of my children if it came to it - like most parents I think/hope. Without dragging it into the world of fisticuffs, I also think it important to defend the defenceless - like old people in homes being abused, or children being abused, or animals - and if all you can do by way of defending them is to speak out, then you are still trying to defend them, protect them - and I am sure they would be gratefull for whatever you did to try and end their suffering.
