is going to war solving a problem, is fighing or killing an answer? is hitting a young one also an answer to your problems? if not, why do people use violence all them time through out their lives? i believe violence is not an answer! what do you think about violence? a good or bad way to solve someones' problems?

It's a bad way to solve a problem, but if it can save me or my loved ones I would have no problam using violence to make it out of a nasty situation.

Violence is never the solution..and i only justify it when it is legitimate defense....violence brings more violence, which means that if you start it, it will become a snoball that will grow more and more.

Violence is never a solution at all in any circumstances really.It has to be always solved by discussions.I think discussions can solve anything,everything.

I guess I still believe in the opposite or violence as the best solution to solve many problems in out place. Why do they used violence? In my own personal opinion its because violence is the easiest way to achieve your goals and it sows fear to many that it creates an artificial peace and order, but those would only be temporary. Once you've created violence to stop a problem it will just inflict another wound that would trigger another set of problems which will eventually make things complex. That is the reason why the wars here do not get resolve because they all used violence to stop the exisitng problems. Until now many wars have not stopped because it always is solve thru violent means.

Violence isn't the answer for any problem. Violence spawns more problems if you ask me. Problems should be settled with a clam mind and a hearty conversation. Problems should be settled over a coffee table, not with baseball bats.. LOL
