Use of Force

  • Do you honestly think the Armed Forces should be abolished?
  • What method would you use to resist evil?
  • Would you forcibly restrain individual law breakers?
  • Would you use force to preserve anything you believe in?
  • Would you use force to prevent a maniac from killing an innocent person? From killing you? From killing himself?
  • Wasn't Hitler a maniac?
  • Can't non-destructive force, such as strikes and boycotts, be just as painful and destructive as physical violence?
  • If someone were attacking your mother, would you try to stop him or would you call the police?
  • Didn't Jesus use violence in driving the money-changers from the temple?
  • Do you think the federal government was right in using military force as it has in riots, disorders, and racial strife?
  • Do you think blacks are justified in using self-defense?
  • Do you believe in the kind of force the police often have to use to stop killer criminals from murdering others?
