14. It takes an act of violence to vandalise anything. Vandalism, including vandalising military equipment IS violent.

The whole notion of vandalism being non-violent is absurd. That was my direct response to a post (not your post, BTW - you just inserted your opinion into the exchange) that suggested otherwise.

And no matter how many times I read the OP, no mentions of criminal definitions suddenly appear in it. You should try it too, I strongly suspect you will get similar results.

Oh, and did I mention that it was you who inserted your unsolicited opinion about the British government into an exchange that had nothing to do with it? Yes, yes you did. Maybe you shouldn't have done it, but you did. And in response, I suggested that it is none of my business, nor is it related to the thread, no matter how many times one re-reads the OP.

Still, you keep volunteering comments about British law and legislation despite my refusal to get off subject, so I will just ignore them. A rather reasonable thing to do under the circumstances.
