What about violence?

Violence is not the correct response to words.

Oh, I see now

I know, but what is the correct response to violence?

If there was a 100% correct response to violence, there probably wouldn't be any violence anymore. Violence is not the correct action, for the start

Loud words.

What if they puncture your lungs?

Loud exhalation.

Use the minimum amount of force required to protect yourself. As a last resort, since there are probably smarter ways to do it if you have the sense to figure them out.

As the Doctor said, "violence doesn't end violence. It extends it."

Unless you kill everything

Or as someone who isn’t fictional once said:

Or from another dead black guy:

No one is touching my cloke.

When you move to Libya, you'll need to know the correct response to violence. Until then, you can rest easy and stick with words.

What the fuck? Jacob?


That's my contribution.

What about peace through war? A hypothetical war to end all wars, what about that?

To end all conflict, a war would have to wipe out the entire human race. I think that's probably something we want to avoid.

Probably.

Actually, now that I think about it...

Oh no. BM is thinking again.

I'm founding the Involuntary Human Extinction Movement. Come to think of it, we're all working towards that already.

I don't know what it is but it's awful and I hate it and the reaction to it and everything is terrible.

I like it. Count me in

This was my exact thought process when I saw this thread. He was the dude who did the "Should ugly people procreate" thread, right?

On topic: I've never truly understood why Muslims get so angry and zealous when someone critiques or satirises their religion. I haven't heard of any recent angry Christians do something this extreme and they get it in the neck constantly from the likes of Richard Dawkins and the like.

Yeah apart from the one who killed 77 people, mostly minors, last year.

Everything is terrible.

the Islam is a much younger religion than Christianity. also do you seriously believe that every culture and religion develops at the same speed?

It used to be better. There was a 300 year period in which Baghdad was the cultural centre of the world.

No but Islam is REALLLY taking its sweet time.

It took Christianity 2000 years to get to this point. Islam is currently at the point that Christianity was 500-1000 years ago.

Aw man, did you see the one Sandman comic about that? That shit was killer.

Basically, the crusades.

If such comparisons actually work. Sikhism is only 500-600 ears old, and it's not especially violent.

No, but I saw the mathematics. Algebra, algorithms, numerals. And the names of the stars.
