Touch the fire and get burned. Imply someones daughter is a prostitute to them and I think a violent reaction might not be that uncommon.

  Well some people use that logic to justify killing cartoonists who depict Mohammed.

    You can use modus ponens to justify all kinds of weird shit. What's your point?
    • a3voices 11y ago
      My point is that being offended isn't a valid reason to use violence against someone. If a stranger says something non-threatening and you react by hitting him, you're a danger to the public and should possibly be arrested.

        "How much for the girl" is predatory behavior and a threat, actually, and anyway I don't agree with your premise.

  To a3voices: Violence occurs along a spectrum. Punching != trying to kill, in all cases.
  • a3voices 11y ago
    Well in some cases it could be considered a felony, and you could go to prison for years, not to mention possible hospital bills and grief you caused the person you struck.

      Not if I was on the jury.

  Going to prison for assault over something that somebody said (maybe they are on medication or have some sort of illness/generally not around people) is also pretty un-cool. You just tell them not to do that again. 'I would have' stories on the internet are pretty lame too.
