Let me clarify something here.
No one is confused about the way of things in their own little corner of the planet. We all know exactly how things "are" and what is expected. The point Trev and I are making is that the way things "are," in western society in particular, lack a spirit of independence and self-preservation.
True, you could say the "punch 'em in the mouth" approach is a bully tactic. It's also a surefire way to stop a bully cold in his tracks.
Dodgy foreign policy? That's comical. Like what, not negotiating with terrorists or the nations that harbor them? Or maybe preventing nuclear proliferation in a country that presents an existential threat to others?
Diplomacy is great, but the words uttered by diplomats only carry as much weight as the fighting force standing behind them will bear.
So sayeth the tip of the motherfucking spear!
I like how you go about 'clarifying' something, by smearing it in mud and war-paint, then arming it with a spear.
You come at civilisation with a spear and they'll take it off you and put you in a locked room. You have to be smarter than that nowadays. You've got to evolve to stay relevant.
Darwin's theory of evolution is actually survival of the most adaptable, not the fittest or biggest or most aggressive. For all its big, sharp teeth, T-Rex still died out.
I think you are a little confused as to how things work in my corner of the world. See my previous post on how the publicly funded BBC works.
We decide how we run our BBC, not you. We may grace you with some DVDs released in your territory, but you don't get to tell us how we operate.
In terms of dodgy foreign policy, I'm talking about the sociopathic corporatocracy that throws around words like 'freedom' and 'peace' whilst justifying a preemptive-airstrike approach to 'threats', that happen to live with their wives and children above vast quantities of valuable natural resources. As a side effect, you may be surprised to know that this actively breeds the radicalisation that the media uses to justify the military action.
Considering this, you've still got to ask why other countries feel the need to arm themselves huh? Besides I thought you agreed that people SHOULD strike back when provoked.
So the cycle continues. Weird huh?
Do you know how I solved a bully problem at school? Although I was a Judo black belt and a regional gold medallist before I was 14, I decided to become his friend rather than perpetuate the cycle.
It turns out that as well as being abused at home, he had an undiscovered brain tumour which affected his personality as it grew.
That taught me that you often don't know everything about people, so you should treat people with respect.
The words uttered by diplomats often carry much more weight if they have something to offer that's valuable or useful to the opposing party.

), is so upset over it. He actually asked me why doesnt the man that got hit get his mom to tell Jeremys mom and they can sort it out. I think the outcome would be much better
