can words be violent?

Can a fist be violent? How about a gun or a tank? Words fit in the same category. All can be used as tools to cause harm to another person.

If you're defining "violent" as nothing more than as a state of mind ("intending to cause harm") then clearly only something alive could be violent...but its a purely semantic argument and I don't really see the point in making it.

If you were a child and your parent called you disgusting filth that deserves to die on a regular basis, I doubt you would much care about the distinction between physical and emotional harm.

Exactly. And it's no different when some people say that certain minorities deserve to die on a regular basis.

Plus, there really isn't that many steps between saying "Go back to your country!" to someone and then knocking them senseless.

You're mentally ill. Please for the sake of everyone's safety get help and then go back to the first grade because apparently you haven't learned the expression "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me"

Do you honestly believe that being called filth by ones parents as a child isn't harmful? Chanting a dumb saying does not an argument make.

No words aren't violent and this shouldn't even be a debate.... I mean come on 8 year olds know better than these sad pathetic excuses for men in the millennial generation that can't even get girlfriends because of how much of losers and bats males they are. Really I'm embarrassed to call myself a millennial

Um, a man doesn't "get" a girlfriend. We're people with rights and agency.
