your quotes, in order:
1–two is not a multitude, no matter how “poetically true” it sounds, but i’ll allow it

2–(a)Of course violence is “only” concealed by a lie, ALL things are, including BEING NICE. That’s the nature of a lie to conceal SOMETHING. So the first part of the saying is not the whole truth.
–(b)The “Lie” can be “only” maintained by distracting people aswell, or misdirection, or hypnosis. Even if it’s INEVITABLE that you would have to use violence at some point, you could say the same for distraction, or the other stuff I mentioned. So it’s not ONLY violence. So the second part of the saying is not true AT ALL.

3–If you use only violence to get things done, why not have truth as your principle? It seems you’re gonna get into more fights if you’re always honest. You’d have to start lying to AVOID using violence as your “method”.

4–This one’s correct I think.

5–Silent freedom is NOT freedom silenced. in fact the converse may be true, that your chances of remaining free are increased if you don’t go on about it, in certain circles anyway.

Hope I wasn’t TOO presumptuous or arrogant. A vain hope indeed. (pun intended).

Chris Brown performed a thrilling tribute to Michael Jackson during the last show of his “Fan Appreciation” tour at the NOKIA Theatre Times Square in NYC on Tuesday (Dec. 15). This is why he should have been at the BET Awards.

LONDON, Dec 14 — Teenager Joe McElderry won the sixth series of popular British TV show “The X Factor” last night, and is widely tipped to top the Christmas charts with his debut single, a cover of American Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb”.

Bookmaker’s favourite McElderry, who performed with former Wham singer George Michael during the first of two live final shows, beat rival finalist 25-year-old Olly Murs to secure the “X Factor” crown and a lucrative recording contract.

The pair, who beat 200,000 other applicants to reach the final show, received more than 10 million votes between them.

Eighteen-year-old student McElderry, from the north of England, performed Journey’s “Don’t stop believing” on the final show, while Murs, who was mentored by music mogul and the show’s producer Simon Cowell, sang “Twist and Shout”.

Both also performed the winner’s single in a final bid to win over the public vote, before joining the other 10 finalist acts to sing with former Beatle Paul McCartney.

After the result was announced McElderry jumped up and down screaming as he hugged his mentor, Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole.

“I can’t even speak,” he said. “Thank you so much everyone.”

Previous winners of the competition, which draws millions of viewers every week, have secured the Christmas top spot in the pop music charts for the last four years.

The twelve finalists from this year’s show already collectively topped the charts last month with their charity hit version of Michael Jackson’s “You are not Alone”. — Reuters
