At what point does verbal abuse warrant a physical response?

[BaboonGuy]

Does it ever? How much? Is it ever okay to kill someone for what they said?

serious responses appreciated

Only if you do it ninja style and chop their head off.

 

[pyonir]

I think you're ugly.

In ancient times, I would have slain you on the spot with my scythe for asking such a stupid question.

Yes.

Depends on your patience and tolerance levels.

I guess if they said "I killed your entire family and had my way with their corpses." Other than that, probably not if you're a regular person in society. Or unless you're in prison and Bubba comes up and tells you to give him your cornbread. Then it's on.

And by sweet you mean totally cool.

Go call a guy with a gun in his hand a "beloved patriot" and see what happen.

Arent most conditioned as children to accept and absorb verbal abuse?

 

[GrumpyMan]

Any bad reference to my mother would do it.
Let me edit by saying that killing should only be a response to a physical threat to my life or someone's that I love. IMO

I won't respond physically to verbal abuse ever. Not with so many whacko people around.

To teach the offender a lesson? there are many reasons, just wondering which are justifiable.

It wouldn't take much for me. But why even try finding the limit on anyone? I hate these people who just peck and peck and push buttons, and know they're doing it and then are surprised when someone beats them down.
Keep your mouth shut, and you won't get hurt or sued.

i don't think that would work, if someone likes to run their mouth, beating them up isn't likely to change that

 

[clamum]

Hahah hitting someone because of verbal abuse. Funny.

No, but in these crazy times you can sue people for wailing on you even after you provoked it. I was just showing both sides.

No, but in your crazy country you can sue people for wailing on you even after you provoked it. I was just showing both sides.

You shouldn't be "wailing" on someone for words anyway....:roll:

Ideally, yes. But this society obviously isn't ideal at the moment.
