Hello!

im sorry, but a few people have said this before and ive gotta ask: how is lego
is anyway nonviolent?

LEGO was proud of having never produced sets that glorify war and violence.
They never produced (and I guess they won't ever produce) "Kriegsspielzeug"
like WWI or WWII tanks, bombers and so on.

But of course, swords and spears are purposed to violence. And nowadays
there ain't any sets that NOT include a revolver and/or a gun and/or a
skeleton (= minifig brought from life to death...).

Bye
Jojo
