I enjoy running as much as the next girl, course I do, but this has gone far enough. The next one of these savages that tries to shoot me, hit me, or chase me from the streets is going to wish they hadn't. I might do my very best to avoid violence but I've certainly no objections to self-defence.

My only real issue is that I don't understand why they've so much hostility but it's quickly reaching the point that I don't care. You can't help someone if they won't let you, yeah?

	That we know of. If we cannot contact the Collector himself, then how can we assume we know anything about how the inhabitants think? I am saying there are better ways of matching violence against violence. You all are the ones who are jumping to think I said that we should all be passive. The statement is meant to make you think, not argue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Common sense and experience may lead to little more than speculation but it's educated speculation at its best. Given a choice between that and blindly fumbling about in hopes of discovering an answer that isn't likely forthcoming, I'll choose the former rather than the latter every single time.

The statement is a decidedly argumentative one posed in a time when tension is running high and emotions are dictating actions. There's a reason you haven't seen me tossing my two cents, as they were, into the ring until this conversation. And while I will agree that violence isn't the answer, I haven't seen a thing here to indicate anyone is intending violence as much as attempting to find some way to curb the violence against those less than capable of defending themselves. To me, that doesn't indicate an intent to attack the locals but merely a willingness to defend themselves against a perceived attack which is very real and very likely to occur should they wander from their homes for any reason whatsoever. Or, in some cases, even if they are at home. Which really only makes the situation worse because if a person doesn't even have a place they feel safe to lay their head at night they tend to do things they wouldn't otherwise as one of the fundamental, universal connectors between all walks of life of sentient beings is a desire to feel secure when they are at their most vulnerable.

	If that's what you prefer to call it. Funny thing about being comfortable in your own skin. You really don't care what other people think of you. This is no exception. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooooh, I wonder how many friends you must have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have enough. Aside from your Doctor and his associates, how many can you claim to really be your friend, I wonder? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Implying that the word 'friend' actually holds meaning to a being who does not need words. (Reply to this) (Parent)
