How to handle the Peace Activists

Here's a common sense solution to an age-old problem that's relevant these days...
How to Handle Peace Activists
With all of this talk of impending war, many of us will
encounter ''Peace Activists'' who will try to convince us that
we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who
terrorized us all on September 11, 2001. These activists
may be alone or in a gathering and most of us don't know how
to react to them. When you come upon one of these people,
here are the proper rules of etiquette:
1. Listen politely while this person explains his views.
Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very
interested in his ideas. He will tell you how revenge is
immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to
us, we will only bring on more violence. He will probably
make many arguments, ranging from political to religious to
humanitarian. Nod vigorous agreement.
2. In the middle of his remarks, without any warning,
punch him in the nose.
3. When he gets up off of the ground, he will be very angry
and may try to hit you, so be careful.
4. Very quickly but calmly remind him that violence only
begets more violence and remind him of his stand on this
matter. Tell him if he is really committed to a non-violent
approach to undeserved attacks, he will turn the other cheek
and negotiate a solution. Tell him he must lead by example
if he really believes what he is saying.
5. He will usually think for a moment and then agree that
you are correct.
6. As soon as he does that, hit him again. Only this time
hit them much harder. Square in the nose.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until the idiot realizes that he is
making a stupid argument.
I'll die before I surrender.

Hvaing said that, coming from someone like you who supports "refugees rights", the right to have a better life than us, then I'd expect nothing else.
P.S. What is your solution to the terrorist problem if you dont want us to bomb, what should we have done in 1939 agaisnt Germany?? Go to war or let them take over us?
Get your head in the real world
I'll die before I surrender.
1) All peace activicts are pacifists
2) All peace activists are male
3) All pacifits will hit you back.
Laterz. Keep the War, for those who died, so it NEVER happens again.
I'll die before I surrender.
"the yuppies networking the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit, god loves his children, god loves his children, yeah"
anyway, he didn't say that all peace activists are pacifists, but punching back would be a bit hypocritical after their statements wouldn't it?
