i think being nice to people is important, but im not sure it can always be the way.

taking the idea to an extreme, we currently have a bunch of nutjobs running around burning people alive, stoning people to death, throwing folk off buildings for being gay, raping children and countless other horrific acts.

do you think we can counter a group like ISIS by putting flowers in their guns?

how do we counter a group like this with friendly means?

if we cant counteract this type of situation with kindness, which i dont think we can, then at what point do you think it becomes acceptable or necessary to use negative means to solve a problem?
