It's about obsessing over a subject and seeking to become very knowledgeable in it, to a fault.
The chinese called this "Kung Fu" or "Gong Fu". A very old, and very facinating topic.
Though I'm unsure about the "to a fault" bit. Maybe I over analized but it seems to suggest that something else, that is ncecessary, is neglected. The two do not have to corelate. I tend to call it balance, I think they did too.
You've taken me a bit too literaly. "punch" could be a physical fist in the face, sure. But I've used it in a metaphorical sence. We are on the same page otherwise.
It stands to reason that in a location where wearing a weapon is common place, that most that carrie are in fact normal people like and I. Further, it is then far more likely that the only person to get really hurt is the one person who is doing something suspicious, because normal people, like you and I, would probably want to protect ourselves. To put this another way, it's pretty fucking dangerous to rob a place where there's a 50% chance that each of the 5 people in there carrie a gun.
I don't think we're hitting the same nail -- I agree with you on your point. I'm referring that you're still not free from consequences. For instance, the infamous example of yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theatre. Even if not illegal, someone may indeed punch you for it. I'm certain I understand the word just fine, my friend.
Growing up doesn't mean you realize you don't have the right to piss in the swiming pool. On the contrary. It's realizing that you do, just as much as others have the right to punch you for it.
How do you feel when the guy in the line in front of you is buying a very nice set of steak knives? You know... he could just turn around and stab you. Or do you even notice?

The good ol' days :).
Sure, that's the ideal... but it never happens quite like that.
It was neither thoughtless, nor ignorant. This law does not do what you say it does. You're either ignorant or malicious.
Lol... thanks for that.
As a Buddhist, I sit back, bask in the sunlight, and enjoy a cup of tea.
I wish... it's going in circles.
That's probably how they started.
He gets the guy to throw the big rock at him and miss. Then picks up a small rock and takes one well aimed shot at his forhead.
If the law does not represent the people, it isn't for the people.
What planet are you from?
Ever watch Breaveheart? There's a scene there that shows how that may not be so true :).
Sadly... the latter :(.

Nirvana is the END of reincarnation. The point is to stop reincarnating not to continue it.
The Buddha is not an external entity, friend. Being in the now is being the Buddah.
It's just a long winded fight, with many bouts. Nature fights.
Speak for yourself. Some of us don't want to remain children.
From the perspective of a still new parent, well said.

The real strength is that of numbers. Chances are there will be multiple people. That chance only goes up as time goes on.
