Possibly excessive snark but I'm having a bad day so screw it.

I find it ironic that ZenPro is so quick to violence.

That said insulting people's children is never nice, but everyone is someone's child so sometimes it's a necessary evil.




I never said I was quick to violence. I am normally a very calm person.

That comment was ridiculous. In this regard we define "someone's child" as a non-adult. Technically an adult is someone's child but it is unlikely they require their parents protection in some way so in the spirit of the comment it is fallacious to include adults in the reasoning.

Simply insulting kids under the age of 10 and pigeon-holing what they will do in life based on a narrow prejudice deserves a hiding frankly. It also neatly sidesteps the phenomenal salaries that people in the fast food industry can earn if they want to progress.

In addition, Zen is not the opposite of violence. Actually, it is one of the aims prior to entering into martial combat.
