Absolutely. Some years back, I was savaged on this board by dog apologists for stating that it was irresponsible for dog owners to allow their animals to run loose outside with no fence to restrain them, especially in places with leash laws. I was assured that dogs would respect the boundaries of their "territory", and pose no threat to anyone. We know that's not always true.
Even among FReepers, some people can only be reasoned with by means of an a$$-whippin’.
Never saw that. Link?
I would love to see who attacked you.
Yes. I, too.
I believe it was Robert Heinlein, or one of his characters in his books who stated something along this line:
“The way to treat a bully is to punch his nose until he apologizes.”
The Lord Jesus Christ said to turn the other cheek. But he also told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword.
I follow Jesus Christ, but want to punch people in the nose. This, too, is demonic.
Paul wrote: “The evil that I would do not, that I do”. (Romans 7)
