No. We did what we needed to and should have done in opposing Hitler. That said, it was a far stretch when the poster Balding_Eagle was trying to compare the violence brought on by Hitler and WWII to this incident on the bus.

Balding_Eagle's remark was in response to your comment that violence is never justified.

To refresh your memory, you implied that the loss of American lives in WWII was meaningless. Read your own posts!

You continue to contradict yourself. Do you often find yourself having conversations with yourself reminiscent of Gollum in "The Two Towers?" Is your nick-name "Sybil?"

I'm not sure what your problem is, but I bet it's awfully hard to pronounce and a pharmaceutical company makes a treatment for it!

At one moment you claim when violence occurs, everyone loses. Then you say you defend yourself when necessary. For the sake of the rest of us, decide which reality you reside in and stick with it for each thread!

Darksheare, be a friend and unleash the wombats.

Since clarity is paramount, 1) show where I said that violence is never justified. 2) “you implied that the loss of American lives in WWII was meaningless. That is YOUR interpretation of my statement. My simple point is that whenever people resort to violence, be it in a war or on a bus, nobody wins and both parties lose. This is a philosophical point which some may find difficult to grasp. In such cases, it becomes easier for some to resort to name calling and threats to family members. Know what I mean?

Anything but the armor plated stomping wombats of doom!
