A Wonderful Insightful Few Minutes on Violence Against Women

I know I am in a heightened emotional state due to what I have had to battle over the past months but this truly moved me to tears, sharing Sir Stewart's emotions when he speaks of how it is never a valid choice to elect to inflict violence upon women (if there is no pressing need of self defence). Without side-lining the very real issues spoken of, I would expand that to include any who are weaker than you.

More from the good man that Patrick Stewart has become against the odds of the violent start he had:

Excellent, truly excellent...especially the point of anyone weaker than you.

The desire to be violent with others seems to be in a lot of people. Whether such a person acts on that desire is a whole 'nother story, but the desire is still there. Just last night I was reading an online discussion (not on MT) that started cordial and quickly turned sour. Someone I know had a mild disagreement with someone and the convo quickly degraded in my friend being scolded for not joining the military, as a stupid punk like him would have been roughed up and straightened out, or something like that. Stockholm Syndrome can be a powerful motivator, in my untrained eyes.
