So, if someone takes revenge on someone for taking revenge; where does it end - extinction?

This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.

Welcome!

really? Intimidating? Maybe I missed something.

I prefer a skeptic approach to this one. I am leaning towards liking the variety and color of this persona, but would like to see it prosper and not become just that, a persona. Pretty controversial, too. I don't mind controversy, but it depends on the character and level of annoying arrogance (because arrogance isn't annoying all the time, in my opinion. There are different types lol).

Anyway... not intimidating to me. Yet.

Welcome!

Intimidating? I don't see how text & a screen name could be intimidating, personally. I've been labeled as intense by those who know me personally, however. In fact, it seems to be a universal claim by the women whom I've dated at one time.

Going for? Nah. I simply laid out that which I vehemently subscribe to & have adopted as my ideologies. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you for the welcoming, too!

Everyone has a right to defend themselves as they see fit. I'm not saying this would be a utopian world as a result (but it's possible). I am saying, however, that this is only fair.

Also, a lot of violent & criminal acts are committed because there is no fear of retaliation. My father worked in law enforcement for twenty-eight years; criminals know how to work the system. We have created a climate where victims are made criminals & criminals victims. If this weren't so & each person who was harmed had every right to defend themselves as they saw fit, I think it's safe to assume crime would not go up, but down!

from the UK!

We sit on opposite sides of the fence on most of our ideologies so I look forward to our inevitable discussions.

There's a thread waiting to happen, right there! Go for it!
