  1. I still get a kick out of watching professional wrestling and will still “mark-out<\/a>” from time to time during a great match<\/li>\n
  2. I want to pummel anyone who hurts my wife or boys<\/li>\n
  3. I often think it would be far easier to just bomb the heck out of evil dictators<\/li>\n
  4. Truth be told – part of me was excited that we got Osama bin Laden<\/li>\n
  5. I can have a horrible temper if I’m not careful<\/li>\n
  6. I still want to flip off half the drivers around me on the road<\/li>\n
  7. I can still get caught up in nationalism and military pride from time to time<\/li>\n
  8. I still love movies where the good guy wins by destroying<\/em> the bad guy<\/li>\n
  9. I’ve never participated in an anti-war rally<\/li>\n
  10. Forgiving my neighbors who sprayed paint on the back of my house is hard enough – and you want me to forgive my enemies?!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And two reasons I want to be a really good pacifist…<\/p>\n
