Foxy,

Such a long post to avoid the obvious, the sign, being non-specific is meaningless.

Do you watch boxing matches?

Is Mise,

It obviously is meaningless to you.

Is Mise,

You ask - do I watch boxing matches?

No.

Do you read books?

Foxy,

Then what does the sign mean, apart from violence is not OK?

The which is quite wrong because so much violence is not only legal but often necessary.

It has been truly said that we sleep peacefully in our beds because of the violence of those that protect us.

Do you think that the violence by Australian soldiers against the Japanese aggressors was not OK?

One of my instructors in basic Infantry training killed over 200 Japanese soldiers in one day, he should be in the history books but there was not an officer present to witness his deeds and that of his mates.
Three of them killed around 300 Japanese, who, if they had survived, would have done their best to kill Australian soldiers.

Was that not OK?

Is Mise,

We live in a century where the possibility of nuclear
war is very real.

Whether we choose to destroy our civilisation or save it
is a collective decision - one that hopefully will be
made within our own lifetimes.

If more and more nuclear weapons are built, and if
more sophisticated means of delivering them are devised,
and if more nations get control of these vile devices
we surely risk our own destruction.

Some say that violence is in our nature for survival or
perceived survival. Well perhaps we need to change our
nature. Get rid of the violence in our hearts and homes,
before we can get rid of it in our streets, schools,
and on our planet.

We have to modify how we act and think. We have to try
to rise above our human nature. Change the way people
think - we'll change their behaviour.

Violent responses only create more violence. We need to
educate our children early that violence is never
acceptable. It is never OK. Changing our behaviour does
not mean we do nothing. We should not be afraid to call
out bad behaviour - to speak up and report it.

Foxy,

I answered your question, why don't you answer mine about the violence to save Australia and our way of life?

Was the violence by our soldiers against the Japanese OK or not?

It's a simple question.
