Wow, well good for you though. What are you majoring in right now?


Well I finally got my degree in Technical writing. Who knew that shortly after that the tech field would implode and become unstable for job security?


What is Technical writing? Do you write....user manuals?

Whether violence is a means to an end, or just and end to some people, you can't stop those who choose violence over civility with anything other than appropriate force. If someone wants to beat you up, the best way to stop them is to deliver a blow that makes fighting too difficult. If somemone wants to kill you by pressing a button to detonate the bomb on their chest, the only appropriate force is to stop that button from being pressed by any means necessary, even if it means a bullet between the eyes.

Ricardo, I want to reiterate one of Warbler's questions: Don't you believe there is ANYTHING worth fighting for. Don't you believe that liberty, the freedom to live the way you choose, to think the way you want to think, to not be afraid of your government or the lack thereof, is WORTH fighting for? If you don't think these basic things that all humans hold as inalienable rights endowed to them by their creator, then WHAT can be worth fighting for?

Because the way your posts are coming across, your answer seems like it would be "nothing"...



If anyone here is Christian, which his probably most of you (statistically ).....Then you should remember something, the question "What would Jesus do?". So far, Chaltab and a few others (not that I'm singling you out Chaltab) don't follow Christian beliefs at all.

Jesus did NOT believe in justice; to him everyone deserved to be forgiven for EVERYTHING no matter what. When they crucified him, he didn't fight in self-defense because he felt that violence couldn't be justified even by that. So, my point is follows....



Killing someone in self-defense isn't moral by my standards. Killing *anyone* for whatever reason isn't moral--ever. The greatest good is committing no evil at all. Jesus followed these morals, and look what happened? He became a hero and a God to hundreds of millions of people.

Now THAT'S justification.

Violence in Video games a fad?

Jumping on people's heads is a no-no though.


We have a loophole here about marijuana too, lol...

And btw, that was hilarious about the jumping on heads and getting involved with magic mushrooms. Classic.

And Gaffer, I just use words like 'destroy' to emphasize how badly they got beaten; so no pun intended

Well Chaltab, 'shatty' is a censored form of shitty. And Nanner, I have nothing against cartoons. It's just--well--Teen Titans is REALLY bad. I'm surprised that you Chaltab, out of all people, being as intellectual as you are, would not be annoyed by this show.

And btw, is swearing ok here? Maybe in small doses? I just don't want to get into trouble.

PS. Nanner, I watch Spongebob too lol.

As violence is not the way. So what makes the bottle of coke or a pseudo-world domination to be different? You might say that world domination leads to people losing their freedom, but I am not discussion the ends, but the means to it.


As for the coke bottle obviously it would be stupid to fight a war over a worthless coke bottle. But I value freedom, rights, and life much more highly than I do a coke bottle. I will fight a war over those.


I know what Ric was referring to, it was a movie on TV or something. Two African tribes lived in a remote location (somewhere in Africa lol), they knew nothing of electricity, cars, houses, businesses, or currency. In a sense it was a commune. And these two tribes had lived in peace for centuries.

One day an empty coke bottle falls from the sky (explained as falling out of a plane or something). This is a one of a kind item to these people, and it makes it priceless. Soon members of each tribe are fighting over this prized gift, which they thought came from God. The bloodshed begins and eventually there is almost no people in either tribe. What's the moral of the story?

I'll tell you; humans are naturally kind and accepting towards each other, but as soon as a material object or objects come into play, the humans have a reason to break the kindness.

Violence and murder is caused by the need for "stuff" and the drive to get said "stuff", no matter what the price. With that said, these are Buddhist terms (with their translations and explanations) about putting an end to suffering:


Dukkha: Suffering exists (suffering is real and almost universal)

Samudaya: There is a cause for suffering (the desire to have and control things, desire for fame, sex, fear, anger, etc.)

Nirodha: There is an end to suffering (letting go to any and all desires and cravings; this doesn't mean you have to be homeless, which is a common misconception)
