Dislike fighting? What's to dislike about fighting?

Vi lence and also sometimes p llution can happen like nuclear b mbs. Also I believe that vi lence doesn't solve anything, it just makes it so that the problem is w rse so that is what I dislike about vi lence.

[alextemplet]

Violence should only be a last resort but there are times when it is the only answer. If it wasn't for violence, Hitler would've taken over the world.

[harrypotter101]

No, without violence Hitler wouldn't taken over the world because how he would have taken over the world was with force and VIOLENCE.

Non-violence is only effective if everyone is non-violent. Same can be said for kantian ethics.

[harrypotter101]

I was just saying I don't like violence and you make a big deal about it. Why?

[harrypotter101]

I believe that violence should only be a last resort like you and in protecting my country. My dad is ex-military. But the world would be a better place without it. Hey, without violence we might still be controlled by England.

[alextemplet]

You're right; the world would be a better place without it. But the sad fact is that some people are violent, and sometimes the only way to counter that is to fight fire with fire.

I am an ex-Marine, for example, and I saw combat in Afghanistan. My fellow Marines and I fought and killed terrorists that were not above killing innocent children simply because they thought it would get them into heaven. You can't reason with people like that.

[harrypotter101]

That's cool. I don't think I really want to be part of the military when I get older. I used to when I was about 7 but now that I'm 13 I don't really want to. I am more geared toward writing and animals.

[alextemplet]

I wasn't planning on entering the military either, but the attack on the World Trade Center changed my mind. I figured if there's people out there who want to kill me just because of my religion or my nationality, then I'm at least going to get a good shot at them first, and I thought that maybe in the process I could keep my loved ones safe.

[harrypotter101]

That makes a lot of sense. That would've made me want to go in the military after I go to college.
