Is it ever acceptable to respond to words with violence?

My answer is no, it is not ok to use physical violence because you dislike someone's words, their political, racial or religious opinions.  The fact that this is even a topic for debate is a bit disturbing to me. 

I am not up to date on what's going on here in P&R, and this is the first thread I have checked in a while. Without the context of why you asked this in another thread, I will also say no. Responding to words with violence gets nowhere.

However, if someone said "F your wife and kids!!" to me, I would probably knock a few of their teeth out. Lol
