fagzukka commented that he was trying to renounce violence. His resolve was tested recently when a guy in a bar punched him in the face without provocation. i almost ran after him too, but i thought "i've taken a vow of nonviolence, what would i do, exactly?" and how nice to have been tested. so i sat there bleeding all over my shirt, talking and joking with the others at the bar.
I'm not saying everyone ought to go that way, but way to go.
