Is violence sometimes the answer?

[ChicoFromThe305]

I know I've asked this before but usually violence is the effective response to violence in specific situations, like intruders in people's homes for example, unless you choose to sit there and tell the intruder where everything is and where they can find all your family members around the house 😂



Same goes for if a woman is about to get sexually assaulted, if you pull out a gun and decide to make the person into swiss cheese, that sounds like another valid example of violence being a good solution to that situation, there's new people here tho so lets see more perspectives shall we.

Guns cause school shootings, isn't it known to be so?

Can somebody tell me how 150 joule nails from a portable rapidly firing nail gun aren't enough to penetrate a kindergartener's skull, when virtually all bows used to kill deer have less than half as much power (30-80 joules)?

So, anyone can hide a nail gun in a backpack. Take away those and people will learn to throw knives.

But where a nail gun and knives don't work, is armored tyrants.

For the general case, I have this quote quite engraved by now:

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
- Asimov, Isaac.

For the first specific case you describe, the custom as well as the general police instructions, here are: Cooperate. For safety and legal reasons, and because robbers usually just want to rob, not to butcher. We have insurances covering the money loss, but we don't have a second life to offer.

For the second specific case you describe, I really don't want to live this situation because I have no idea about my limits, that includes bewilderment response. I would prefer to not meet those limits. In any case though, there is no swiss cheese to look at, guns are illegal goods.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Where you are guns are illegal goods is what you mean 😂

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Ofc ofc, universal laws don't exist, that phrasing was just a bit cheeky 😏

[12karen]

It can be the answer in some specific case

But if a woman is about to get sexually assaulted, you shouldn't turn him into swiss cheese, it's too easy, he'd die, be a bit creative pls, if you choose violence gotta make it worth it 😌

[ChicoFromThe305]

Or in specific cases like with your presence, your spiciness would melt them, sounds like a valid painful death to me, getting close enough makes em explode 💀

[12karen]

Mmh, yeah , Guess I’d better be careful with my.. spiciness around people,
painful is it, I'd love to see them explode 😂

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds like a good superpower to have, you can cook people to how you want, even over cook them 😂

[12karen]

Indeed lol 😭

[IslaTheWitch]

it's the answer only if you have no other choice... like defending your life... in any other situation, it's asking for more trouble...

[MicahRaine]

I totally agree with both of your examples, although I will say the latter example may require a steady hand.

So yes, violence is sometimes the answer. That said, there's a large scale of violence. On one side, you have sending someone to their maker. On the other side, you have tripping someone so they fall.

There's a rule of thumb I live by: "All things in moderation." When applied to the question of violence, it leads me to another quote: "Use the minimum amount of force necessary."

So, if stranger runs onto my property with a gun out am I going to shoot him? Yes. But if I wake up in middle of the night and find a stranger putting my computer in his backpack, no I'm not going to shoot him. I'll stop him, but not shoot him.

Also, as a Christian, I believe taking life is wrong except in the defense of human life/wellbeing.

[ChicoFromThe305]

You sound like a sane and balanced dude, that's good indeed

[MicahRaine]

Thanks man.

It depends on what you know about the spiritual realm. Some attacks are spiritual that manifest in the flesh. A friend of mine defended against a physical attack with faith and the Word of God. But yes, there will be situations where violence will be required so it will depend.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea tbh I never really fully comprehend what the Bible meant about protecting and providing, "protecting" being the word of uncertainty, I wonder if last result measures is justified under the word protect, mostly when it's used in the same sentence as wife and children.

[ClassicDropout]

Violence is the answer when it comes to self-defense. Period. If someone comes into your home with ill intentions, defend yourself. If a man tries to violate you, defend yourself with anything nearby. Use lethal force, fuck it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep my thoughts exactly, better safe than sorry shit

[BetaBucks]

Only in self defense. I live by the non-aggression principal, NAP

[ChicoFromThe305]

So non aggression until it's necessary, that's how it should be

[red-lipstick-girl]

If the other person is a bad person and does not understand proper language, yes I will use violence.

[MemeSupreme]

if it's worth the outcome to you then sure lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

The quotes of retired momo

[MemeSupreme]

ITS YOUR FAULT IM RETIRED

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope I refuse to accept that lol

[Giannishorny]

Violence is never the answer, that's why the police exist

[call_me_scar]

Yeah violence can be a good solution

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol I agree

[PrettyCrumblBb]

Only in self-defense

[ChicoFromThe305]

I agree lol

[NathanDavis]

not so violent force, also exists...

[NathanDavis]

and more often than not, it is the better answer
