BTW...Yes, we did this 'joke' before. And the shortened version that Merlin_the_Arch-Wizard posted really fails to make its point. I have a longer version that does make the point and does it much more eloquently. This version is just a joke designed to offend.
Of course...those on the recieving end of the joke always seem to miss the underlying message and just be offended. 
Tell that message to the many Americans who held steadfast to non-violent actions in order to bring about civil rights or to end the killing in vietnam, even in the face of terror wrought upon them by other Americans.
Lets say that Non-violent person in the joke is gahndi, or Martin luther king jr, or jesus, or the Dali Lama, is it still funny? does the point still get made?
The underlying message I see and disagree with is this- violence solves problems, take a fist in the mouth repeatedly if you disagree.
No wonder so many young people resort to violence to solve problems, we have set a fine example and continue to do so.
