First of all, not true, and second of all, that doesn't make any sense and it doesn't answer my question. Third, I was not referring to ants I was referring to violence towards people, and I don't care about ants, so stop bringing them up. Thank you!
I know you're joking but it brings up a good point, why is that? Why do most people have no problem with killing ants? Are they too physically small for us to feel sympathy for? Does it help that we can't see their faces? I'm not innocent, I'm one of the staunchest anti-animal-cruelty people I've ever met, people think I'm crazy after seeing the lengths I go to to avoid causing harm to an animal, but even I have spat on marching ant-lines to cause chaos in their lives. Its weird.Originally posted by spuriousmonkey

I'm not ghandi, and if you ask me the dog needs to see a form of justice HE understands or no justice has taken place whatsoever as HE was the one that was wronged.Originally posted by spuriousmonkey
but ghandi would probably not have hit the man who had kicked your dog. Maybe he would have thought that even this act of violence wasn't justified

In my view all kinds of violence are unacceptable if you wouldn’t like it to have it done to you. Therefore, violence in self defense to safe and protect those not able to protect themselves, it is an acceptable counter-violence.Originally posted by chaplaintappman22
all violence, any time....
