This is what I call “the nuts move first”: at some point the less restrained and rational give up on polite logical discourse about contentious issues and start acting out what others merely debate - while most of us are discussing where to draw lines, some nut will act on “shoot the bastards” and the rest of us will have to deal with the consequences.

WWI started with some loser shooting an archduke.
Our Civil War started at Harper’s Ferry with some loon killing some blacks.
WWIII had almost started several times over stupid accidents.
Other examples exist but elude me at the moment.
Looks like CWII may start with some nut acting on “kill them all and let God sort them out”.

...while they're beheading you.

You want discourse with savages, go for it.

sure. we should sit on our thumbs and moan about things on forums and do nothing until they come to take us, and our children, to the camps.

Because, dear God, we wouldn’t want to be a ‘nut’.
