Is Violence Ever a Good Idea?

The answer to the question of whether or not violence is ever a good idea is yes. There are always going to be certain instances where violence is needed. When someone or something is threatening something or someone you love, I see no problem with violence. Other than that, there are really not many good reasons for violence. I have been in fights and whether or not you win you end up with some gnarly injuries. Nobody wins in a fight really, its just the person who gives up first. Violence in society is extremely overplayed and seen as the way to solve things, I do not agree. Violence should be seen as a last resort when everything else one could do has been exhausted. Violence is not the best idea but it should never be dismissed entirely if the moment calls for it.
