>With all of this talk of war, many of us will encounter "Peace

>retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11,
>2001, and those who support terror.

>These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know
>how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of
>their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:
>
>1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a
>conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas.
>
>They 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. They
>will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to
>humanitarian.
>
>2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in
>the nose.
>
>3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry
>and they may try to hit you, so be careful.
>
>4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings
>about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter.
>
>Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to
>undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a
>solution.
>
>Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are
>saying.
>
>5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are
>correct.
>
>6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much
>harder. Square in the nose.
>
>7. Repeat steps 2-6 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot
>realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.
>
>8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting
>victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people.
>
>It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost.
>
>We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and
>our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these.
>
>We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep
>getting hit in the nose.
>
>Lesson over, class dismissed
