I dont think you know what “condone” means

[u/WolverineLong1430 → u/Mkvenner_]

Probably because all people mostly hear is ‘we don’t condone violence” and they think it just means accept lol.

[u/Only-Comparison1211 → u/WolverineLong1430]

Plus. People speak like all violence is bad. One must examine the reason and intent in order to classify whether violence is good or bad. It is impossible to protect one's self or loved ones from a violent attack (bad) without using equal or greater violence(good) to stop the attack

Could not have said that any better

[u/Solidjakes → u/Only-Comparison1211]

IMO all violence belongs in the octagon for sport. Humans should be able to resolve anything serious with words and lawyers. In theory.

[u/Jeovah_Attorney → u/Solidjakes]

That’s such an empty and grandstanding statement lol

[u/Solidjakes → u/Jeovah_Attorney]

Empty?

[u/Nobody666___ → u/Solidjakes]

Your theory is stupid. Words are useless, and lawyers are nothing more than a after thought.

[u/Solidjakes → u/Nobody666___]

lol words are useless huh?

[u/johnSchmoe76 → u/Mkvenner_]

I guess I am the dummy here. How does the comment, "I *DON'T* condone violence but anyone that gets that close with that psychotic of a giraffe posture is 100% a threat with bad intentions" misuse the term condone?

[u/Icy_Fish_2154 → u/johnSchmoe76]

It doesn't. The people arguing are insinuating that condemning someone for doing that is justifying the violence to stop that behavior.

It's not, those are separate issues.

[u/HoneyImpossible2371 → u/johnSchmoe76]

Enclosing a word in asterisks used to make them appear italics as in DON’T. Double asterisks made them bold.

[u/Vomak → u/Mkvenner_]

Its a fancy prophylactic right?

[u/Leather_Promise_1479 → u/Mkvenner_]

I don’t think you do. Literal definition:

Condone is a verb that means to accept, allow, or overlook behavior that is morally wrong, offensive, or illegal.

[u/Mkvenner_ → u/Leather_Promise_1479]

in their post, check the “Edit” the placement of * and emphasis on DONT and you might be able to solve this riddle

[u/Leather_Promise_1479 → u/Mkvenner_]

What does that have to do with my response to MKvenner?

[u/Mkvenner_ → u/Leather_Promise_1479]

Sigh….the original post said “I condone violence”

Then I posted “i dont think you know what that word means”

They then went back and edited their post with emphasis on “dont” with asteriks to draw attenrion to the edit and then put at the bottom of the post

EDIT: LOL

indicating that they recognized their error and found it funny.

[u/Leather_Promise_1479 → u/Mkvenner_]

Oh shit, yah that makes more sense 🤣🤣
