So by that logic... you scream and yell at your wife.. calling her fat, lazy and stupid... (plus dream up a few extra things or just pick little things she does that annoys you) DO that for days or weeks but don't actually touch her... and when you get your wiener hacked off in your sleep... then you are an innocent victim too?
You are avoiding the obvious, violence is never acceptable. There are people who lack self control who, for whatever reason, are not in control. I don't accept a woman has the right to say anything she likes because of PMT but nor do I think she should be assaulted. Nor do I think an abusive person should be assaulted. People need to learn to seek help and remove themselves from abusive situations. You are speaking to a person who has been through the mill on this as a child and also as an adult and I can tell you violence is never an acceptable solution, or justifible. Any person who uses violence in these situations is a suitable case for treatmentQuote:

Just give it thought and hopefully you will evolve from your own fear that keeps you stuck in your own hate.
Paris (AND Beirut and Egypt) are big scary stories, sadly though not the only ones.

And so have I... sometimes you have to stand your ground in order for it to stop. And doing that doesn't make you the bad guy.Quote:

You have a presidential candidate who wants to shut down mosques and I agree that any institution where hate, as distinct from fact, is preached needs to have close attention paid to the individuals in it and that isn't confined to muslims. Right now you cannot avoid the obvious, the threat of serious mass violence eminates from the Muslims, and that threat doesn't just originate in the middle east, it has festered for a long time among individuals at a local level and its presence is not unknown but it is allowed to exist because of some stupid idea that a person should be allowed to say whatever they want, whenever they want without consequence.Quote:

And this is the attitude that gets everyone opposed to you, there is a difference between response to a violent attack and being the first to strike, but because of the aggressive attitude of your nation everyone thinks preemptive strikes are the way to go..
Ghandi had a point that should not be lost on a nation with Christian roots, but then he had his problems with muslims too
