A comment by Iwo Gina on Cutting the crap with a 7" blade KA-BAR

Grimmy: Your reply was very sobering. And, I wish to apologize to one and all for my seemingly shameless act of self-promotion. It was not intended as such. I cited it only for illustrative purposes.

I can appreciate your stand, but I don't necessarily agree with it completely. Of course, with the evil in this world there can be no tolerance. Absolutely none. However, I personally believe you can achieve more by trying to enlighten those that you call "weak" or "stupid". Once you are able to get through to them, they begin to see that there may be more than one side to an argument, maybe more than one person's opinion has validity, maybe there is more than one solution to a problem; they begin to think for themselves rather than go along with the "party line". Someone converted or reasoned away from a rigid mind-set is like a person re-born - they question everything, as is their right and responsibility to do.
