But this is simply not true. What if someone breaks into your house and attacks your loved one? You're going to maintain neutrality? Because I don't believe neutrality to be virtuous in that kind of situation.

I never said anything about neutrality. I never said anything about violence or defense. I care not for virtue. This is my trouble with communicating with literalist type thinkers. I don't know how to make you understand my point of view.

I think I do understand your point of view. I've been trying to explain why I believe it to be at best naive and at worst, nonsensical.

I missed this. Ok this sheds some more light on the problem. You're a black/white thinker. I was raised that way and have been fighting this defense mechanisms ever since. I know the terrain is impassible.
