your last comment is good about a good man doing nothing. this is what makes me say there is no neutral or middle ground, nor ying and yang. If you kill a rapist because they are going to attack you.....it's still wrong to take a life, but you have stopped them from hurting you and many others. stopping him is right, killing him or her is wrong. im not condoneing letting yourself be abused, despite the combat skills i teach i would be likly to kill an attacker myself, but i do understand i would be wrong to take another life. i also know theres many ways to stop a villian that arent lethal, see how well they do when their eye balls are out of their head and dangling in your hand lol.
