People who broadcast non-violence are targets of the un law abiding.

People who will defend themselves are enemies of the state.

The only winners are the people who don't obey the law.

Effectively, If you make defending yourself illegal, only people who don't obey laws will
have guns.

You have just made the law abiding population sheep for the slaughter.

Cliffs: Violence makes the world go round. Someone who wishes to do me harm should always have to worry about me doing him harm.

Yes let's have world peace.

You go ahead and do that.

Until then, welcome to the real world.

i'm talking about national politics, and personal defense.

i can't say that is does

Violence defeats non-violence in the short term but it also creates martyrs who are remembered long after they have died and also gives their message more strength.

John's referring to Jesus, guys.


:edit: Yeah, that was meant as a joke, but it actually illustrates the point perfectly.

See edit. I was just fucking around with it, but when you think about it, they had no problem killing him, but now he's the central element of western civilization. Non-violence wins

Yeah I got it, just had to clarify it wasn't my intended argument though.

I was going on the subjects given as example because Kings message grew by leaps and bounds after his death in ways it wouldn't have if he had lived. He would have been just another Jackson/Sharpton type and diluted himself in some way.

Violence is just a physical form of force. It can be used for evil or good.
