And just why is violence bad? Some of the most noble acts in history have been violent? Why do we coddle children and want to keep them from violence? It is a violent world and they will possibly have to kill some day. All this fear mongering does is create a stigma in the minds of people who reluctantly use violence, telling that they should have allowed themselves to be a victim so some pseudointellectual moral pundit can stick their nose in the air and feel better than someone else.
