Is violence necessary to solve political problems?

Answer 1

When a politician knows he is not right, yes.

And we have plenty of examples that demonstrate that.

Answer 2

Sometimes...I wish we lived in a world in which everyone has enough love for one another that they would agree on simple things, such as money and land. But to the world today these are not simple things, they are monsterous. Although I do admit that at times violence, mostly physical may be the rational answer to a problem. But when we take it to that extreme, we are saying I do not hear what you have to say, I am tired of talking, this isn't working and now its time to fight. I believe that almost all political problems in this world will not be solved because they are not just political, they are religious as well. And when you believe something with all of your being you will fight to the death for it. Talking sometimes, just does not work because both sides just can not and will not compromise. When violence does enter the picture, the opposing team better be sure the defending team isn't going to go without a fight. And when one rule wins, ultimately one will, the other will become the minority, few, inconsiderable party and witness thier views to become shambles to the new more powerful regime.

Answer 3

Not really.
People usually get violent when they run out of conversational resources. It kind of breaks down like this.
When two people argue, first they insist on their unique points of view by trying to convince the other person with, in ther own point of view, congruent perspectives.
When they still cannot agree, they move to the next level, they begin to raise their voice, but they are still talking. By this point they begin to insult each other. Insults arrive when the person has nothing more to validate his or her point of view, in turn the person makes use of offensive vocabulary to spark the other persons rage. And thus, the insults are justified. It's a vicious circle.
NExt come the punches. Once the insults have been used up, it;s time to do the man dance. It's when all resources have been used up. We get primitive.
Either two people talking or politics, it's basically the same principal.
That's why two people who are educated rarely get into fights while people with a lower education tend to fight a lot.

Answer 4

Yes. Very necessary. Suppose we just decided to get rid of all of our weapons in this country. Do you think that the Jihadists wouldn't come over here and kill everyone that didn't convert to Islam? Of course. The Jihadists would be at our doorstep in no time if we did that. We need our weapon to destroy those who wish to take away our freedoms and the freedoms of others. In this nation we have currently become a bunch of wimps. If North Korea nuked L.A. or San Fransisco, do you really think that we would have the guts to launch nukes back at them? No. Because we have turned into a bunch of sissies. I would say that if they did that, then we should wipe of that entire nation off of the map and every other nation that tries to retaliate against our retaliation.

Answer 5

violence is a childish act to get what you want in political matters. so, i really do not think that it is necessary to solve anything.

Answer 6

War is the natural weeding process of the human condition -

You know...flowers and plants...weeds...weeding...

I believe that through human nature, war is inevitable!

What...with hatred, love, lust, and all of those other carnal desires and tendencies...war would be an inevitable occurrence!

If war is not a weeding process, it is an enlightening and humbling process.

For one to live through a war, makes one start to think...about life, god, and doing good to all men!

Either way...

For one to survive a war is a blessing, and a gift! One not to be taken lightly.

Answer 7

Yes, if it wasnt the way would there be an America.
