Thoughts on a quote?

"Sometimes violence is the only way to teach someone they are wrong."

In today's climate, what are your thoughts?

Keep it civil. [Beer]

Seems to align very well with this:

Walk softly and carry a big stick.

I don't think the OP statement is wrong, it's just nebulous.

It's also a good way to catch an assault charge, no one can take an ass whoopin' they deserve anymore without involving the police

i agree with this too. alot of people talk shit, get them self in the position to learn some respect and immediately call the cops instead of manning up and taking the beating. which would of course be a life lesson for them.

+2.. Violence gets you nowhere in this modern time except a trip to the stoney lonesome. Too bad. I'd love to hand out some ass whipins, and take one or two if needed.

thats because there is tuff, and then there is internet tuff!

talk shit to someone online, that you would never say in person.

that is just a bad policy. but the norm now that nobody takes a beating anymore. they forgot what respect was.

I would say that it depends on the situation (self defense vs. ego contest vs. ??). Violence by itself is not the answer.

I don't play well with others either. Heaven knows that I could often use a good @$$ whoopin but I haven't had one in over 25 years (my last fight was 17 years ago).
