when you are standing in the school yard and the known bully comes up to you, pushes you and says "i am gonna beat your ass because i hate jews like you (or whatever)" and he is known to do just that.
you have two options
1) go for the first shot and try to take him down before he knocks you around
2) try to explain that violence solves nothing and give him your witty, "intellectual" bumper sticker quotes as he beats your ass
just the fact that you can't possible imagine a scenario that immediately requires violence, proves my point. at least my view is somewhat moderate... that i believe there is a time and place for violence/fighting. your view is extreme and irrational in that you just can't possibly imagine having to fight as a first line of defense.
hopefully you will never have to explain to your wife that you didn't just watch her get raped, you were actually busy trying to "reach him" and make him understand that you should be able to just discuss whats bothering him.
