    Bit like saying airlines are violent because the first passenger planes were based on military bombers.

    That analogy is backwards, because dynamite was developed for civilian use and then found military application, while big planes were developed to drop more bombs and then found use carrying people.

      I’m not talking about violence against people. I’m talking about the nature of violence. The sun is violent, but it gives life. Explosions are violent, even if nothing is injured or killed.

      Anyways, cheers.
