violence

Obviously, one's immediate response, to whether or not violence is a good idea, is "no, of course not". Violence is never a "good idea." No matter what someone does to you, you should never react back with violence, because it lowers you to their level. However, even if it may not be good, I can see why some people would resort to violence. Maybe because it is all they know. They grew up with it, culturally, and so they don't know how to deal with things in any other way. Or, maybe, in order to have the biggest impact on your enemies or whoever you are trying to prove, violence is the only way to accomplish what you want.

Violence is not a good idea in any situation, no matter what the circumstances are. However, sometimes it can be warranted because it is the only thing to get the job done or the point across.
