Why are the combative so proud of their violence?

Question

Isn't that the root of the problem?

Answer 1

I would say, by using the law of attraction, that they are attracted to the violence. The root of the problem is that they are so engrossed in their combative ways that no one can change their ways, unless they can change the way their mind resist peace. These type of People have to see it for themselves in order for them to change and to be proud in something, other than violence.

What we see determines how we will think. That's just my opinion.

Answer 2

i dont think so. they are proud because theyve been brainwashed into thinking they are doing good. the majority of people killed is because someone told someone else to do it. the root of the problem is the fact that people cant think for themselves, other influences are having too much of an effect. it is wrong to kill another person, period. the sorry part is, people are killing other people that they dont even know. its hard to comprehend. maybe its called stupidity.

Answer 3

Non-violence is an ethical principle that misses the point, especially in its expanded version. The definition of violence has been broadened over the past 20 years or so to include not only corporal punishment and physical expressiveness and roughhousing, but name-calling (Derrida) and games of tag (in one school system). At the same time, there has been a movement to implement zero-tolerance policies with respect to violence.
___The more trivial cases fall under the category of violence only figuratively or metaphorically, but as many on the left tend to do, they fail to keep straight their politically-charged metaphors from literalisms, and come to believe their own figures of speech.
___Under these conditions, though, people lose familiarity with the distinctions of degree, kind, and appropriateness that distinguish the lesser forms of physical contact from real violence. So elementary school teachers get bent out of shape if some boys wrestle in the school yard, and convey to them that they're going to grow up to be serial killers and rapists. And given the self-fulfilling prophecies get rolling, many do. (This is an oversimplistic exaggeration, but at least I know it.)
___As the standards of violence get ever more stringent, more and more guys that would otherwise remain "in the moral fold" become alienated, and begin to think violence is a good thing, since it seems to annoy all the silly people who ban games of tag.
___Of all the immoral and evil things people can do, violence is only the most obvious. That it has become the center of our notions of evil shows that we're pretty desperate about ethics today, and groping for the easiest evil to discern, substituting obviousness for a broader concern about other things that do people harm. What about damage to the soul? Covert manipulativeness of the sort described in the (scanty) literature on girls bullying (but considered only in its harmful aspects for its female victims). No, we go for getting fastidious about the kinds of evil that men are prone to, while ignoring the kind that women are prone to. And go for the obvious and overt at the expense of the evils that are harder to see, that are more concealed and covert. And to make up for our intellectually-lazy, reductionist, easy-way-out, conventional, narrow ethics of non-violence, we just get more zealous in pursuing tag-players and spanking parents, while carefully ignoring the emotional damage that girls do to boys, and women to men.
___Another jiggeriing of method and criteria of the sort that more and more men are getting an intuitive sense of, by which feminism keeps tipping the moral playing field.
Anything like roots there?
___Maybe someday, women will wake up and see that all these intellectually dishonest political maneuvers end up doing harm to women. Maybe they'll wake up and see the "better-reporting" myth on domestic violence for what it is, and that this hateful and destructive violence has increased during feminism's heydey. Any roots there? Ridiculous standards of violence breed disrespect, and alienate the very people at the margins, who ones who could go either way, but who are also the very people who ought to be the target of sensible standards.
