      No shit.

      And what’s this sophist “silence is violence” nonsense.

      Violence is violence. If anyone thinks it and silence are the same, let’s arrange a meeting with Mike Tyson.

    Silence is violence? :)

    I feel this is an attempt to get a rhyme going at the expense of logic failing.

    I get what you are saying.

    You are saying that people are part of the problem if they are bystanders to harm. The second part of what you are saying is that you shouldn’t start gossiping about something you do not know enough about. It seems to me you are trying to say that you should be careful to speak the bare truth and to not assume or exaggerate in any way.

    Sounds like a shower thought. I’m not sure why people are getting bent out of shape. Give this dude a break.

      I’m often for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but the “keep your dumb mouth shut” part makes me feel like this is less of a shower thought and more of a “I didn’t know where to complain” thought.

    This reminds me of Depeche Mode’s hit 1990 single entitled “Enjoy the Violence”

    But seriously, what a dumb fucking thing to say. “Silence is Violence”
