A wise man once told me "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean things aren't out to get you."
Or, from the discworld novels:

Wizards aren't paranoid. People ARE out to get them.

My favourite is, "It's not paranoia if you're right." The amount of times I've thought I was just being paranoid about something, and then I've discovered I was actually completely justified to be suspicious... It's been a little excessive.

Since when was protecting your family an extreme obsession with violence?

Whoa!!! Who said extreme? I only said obsession.

Your point holds no water and you base your conclusion off your cynicism

So you agree with all my points... but disagree with the conclusion.

Ok sure. I am not the king of the universe. Good debate and thank you for taking me seriously.

Quote
if someone insults your family and won't get out of your face, that's verbal harassment, another type of violence, yet you only condemn the physical end of it. Why?

Because to me, violence and harassment are not the same thing. Violence isn't being offensive, insulting, or annoying. Violence is the "physical end of it" to me.

Mind you, I am only explaining that part. It isn't part of an argument since I think we got our points across and I believe people understood what I meant.

There's such a thing as an obsession which isn't extreme?

Having an obsession is extreme... but an obsession isn't necessarily extreme.

Neonivek, you just dismissed my argument

No, I am saying that... You are making all the same points I am making but coming to a different conclusion... and that... that is fine.

It isn't being dismissive, it is recognizing that frankly at this point there isn't anywhere for the debate to go when both sides agree on the points but disagree on the conclusion.

Quote
when the whole point of my argument is that I disagree with your points.

Hence why the conclusion differs.

A therefor B
A therefor not B

You didn't disagree that humans have fight or flight mechanisms, you didn't disagree that there is extensive uses of violence in media (Reasons does not equal dismissal), and your disagreement with my example was semantics at best (especially since even if taken your way, it doesn't dismiss itself as "using violence against violence" means that people believe in perpetuating violence so long as they feel threatened with annoyance and aggravation as being justified). As well all the information you added didn't dismiss my points, since the ability to be obsessed with violence and not act in a violent fashion exists.

The only difference between our arguments is qualitative statements, but distilled it doesn't mean anything. What conclusion should I reach other than the one I am displaying here? Well other than the fact that we are clearly using two definitions of obsessed (though that was already known).

Probably a wizard. Murder is far too unlikely.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
