Apparently their life is just devoid of connection and somehow triggering strangers is their form of sexual satisfaction. That's evident when people do things like OLB does. Nothing he says is really honest and he knows this. No one could be this obtuse. He's just laughing because he gets a reaction. Best to just ignore him.
Stuff it.
The only time you see anyone as honest is if they agree with your half baked bullshit.

What do you think we base legality and illegality upon if not the concepts of good and evil?
But - let us then assume for the sake of your arguement that using wonton violence can be "good" how do you apply it here?
And no fair pronouncing one politically motivated act as " good".
The jury is and always will be out on that score....
I’m happy to agree that the concepts of legality are based on the concepts of moral good and evil, but that doesn’t by any means ensure that that which is legal will always be good. This is why the law makes exceptions for the circumstances in which otherwise illegal actions will not be punished. For example, if you were to shoot someone for shits and giggles, the law will punish you. However, if you shoot someone as a means of defending yourself or others, the law will consider the circumstances.
I’ve never been attacked by a dumpling, so I’ll assume you meant ‘wanton’ violence. This generally refers to violence that is unprovoked or done without reason. We aren’t talking about wanton violence, but violence done with a specific purpose in mind.
What jury where?
