NOTHING justifies violence. Nothing.

There's the ticket, we agree on that one Ric. Good quote btw, who is it again?

It's also one of the most naive philosophies on the planet...I can imagine one of the Iraqi Khurds going up to Saddam and saying "You know, an eye for an eye only makes the whole world......ARRRRRGHGGHGHH!" immediately before being shot, followed by nerve gas being released in their village. Please, oh please.

Sage is right - it's a very naive and unrealistic attitude. But how sad that that is the case. Like I said - human nature sucks.

I totally hate that it's true. I want to clarify that. I want my kids to grow up in a world that's better than the one we have. Sadly, I have to be realistic and teach them to be strong, because it's fantasy to believe it's any other way...
