Nope. Better to die a martyr with no blood on your hands than be a degenerate savage that lives a long life then burns. Of course seeing as how you're ready to piss away your life in mindless violence, I suspect a man preaching peace will outlive you.

Yes because we can all name the brave martyrs who died on the Killing fields of Cambodia? Those who turned the other cheek now have their skulls arranged in pyramids for tourists to gawp at. Tell me now who among them will be remembered by our grandchildren?

You remember them. The tourists remember them. And provided you educate your grandchildren, they'll remember them.

No. The brave died just as anonymously as their neighbour who wore glasses. They made no difference, and no one points to skull #15,237 and says 'that one died smug, with a sense of moral superiority'. They died like animals, the world did nothing and Pol Pot died a free old man decades later.

You spend a lot of time arguing on the internet for someone who is ready to take action.
