Anyone who says violence is never the answer has never been in a situation where violence is the only answer.

It's one of those things where it really isn't the answer until it is.

I guess, unless, you are the type of person who is willing to let people you care about get seriously injured, then by all means be the pacifist.

I mean ya, it's how we stopped the nazis. Violence is definitely an answer, but it should be a last-ditch effort when all else fails.

Unless it being last ditch effort ruins the effort. In which case get violent sooner...

And voila, just like that you have created warfare lol.

Well, no. It should have been an answer before a fuck ton of innocent people died.

There have been times in my life where violence was definitely not the answer. Violence was the question and the answer was 'Yes.'

Violence is never the answer, but sometimes it's a damn good way to cancel like terms so you can find the answer.
