Is Violence Ever a Good Idea?

Yet another difficult question to answer. off the top of my head i would say no. i am an avid pacifist, and as such i dont think that violent action is ever really needed. unfortunately in a lot of cultures around the world and, in my opinion, in every major religion, violence is a major part of it.

i dont believe that violence ever really does anything but breed more violence, so whats the point of it really? there isnt one.

there is only one point where i might drift towards violence, and its a stretch; that would be on the topic of euthenasia. i think that people should have the right to be euthenized if they really want to be. most people dont consider that violence, but some might.

in short, violence is never a good idea, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and that whole lot.
