    No it isn't. There are cases where it is justified, cases where it is necessary and even cases where society is better off for the action but that doesn't make it OK to harm someone.

    You have GOT to be shittin' me. That makes no sense in moral or practical terms. What's the difference between justified, necessary or OK?

    Justified would mean legal in the eyes of the law, necessary would mean required to save life and limb, ok would mean you're happy with the way things worked out. I could see where I might be justified in using violence, and it might be necessary, but I wouldn't be ok with it(or at least the circustances that led to it, if I could somehow have avoided the necessity).

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Someone translate this please. Maybe it would make more sense after a fifth of Glenlivet?
