[Nonviolence] is a way of life based on these human beliefs: Human
conflicts can be resolved without violence or force; organized social aggression
can be faced and turned back effectively without war and without killing anybody;
most crime problems can be addressed more effectively without the use of violent
methods or punishment or restraint; people well-educated in the use of nonviolent
methods will almost always be more effective in human relations than those who
use physical threats and weapons.

If you choose to use to use any language which our editors feel is vulgar -- by their standards -- your comment may be tagged "Crude or Lewd" and may be filtered out of the discussion by those who prefer not to read that sort of thing. If you know you have entered something which will cause your comment to be tagged, we ask that you tag it yourself to save us the time. We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
