Title: violence. can it be stopped ?
Post by: lennydee on January 25, 2012, 03:32:07 am
Violence, how can it be stopped  in our world? It's up to us whether we live in peace or continue with our violent  wars.

In this country "gun control" is best solution in my opnion, other countries we stay out of them and let them control their own.

STOP LETTING POEOPLE IN IN PRISON LIVE LIKE THEIR IN A COUNTRY CLUB! GIVE THEM BREAD AND WATER. NO TV. NO RECREATION. NO VISITING HOURS. NOTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. THEN PEOPLE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE REPEATING CRIMES AND WORD WILL GET OUT HOW BAD PRISON REALLY IS SUPPOSE TO BE. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE IN PRISION ARE LIVING BETTER IN THEIR THEN ON THE OUTSIDE. THATS REALITY AND VERY SAD.

Tell me about it, I grew up in a violent household.  And when we called the cops on my mother's abusive boyfriend he didn't care  because he would say "good now I'm on vacation, free food and shelter"!  Then he would get out in a few months after pressing charges!  :bs: :angry7:

Gun control would not stop violence. It would actually cause more violence, because the bad guys would realize that their potential victims were defenseless. An awful lot of people get killed in car accidents, so maybe we should ban driving. Oh, and knives, including kitchen knives, kill people too, so we can't have those either. (Must be some really talented knives, to get up on their own and stick themselves in people; just as talented as the guns that load themselves with bullets, aim themselves and pull their own triggers.)

It come down to the bottom line with stopping the violence. Each of us must account for our own action. By not letting violence be a part of our lives. By chance there is no violence in each person life that it would no longer exist.

If you're realistic, you know that as long as their are living breathing things there will be violence period.  It began in the time of Adam and Eve and will end when this world is no more.

Stopping violence all together is not feasible. Its like being wet or being dry. You can't have one without the other, and neither one is going away. :heart:

I could not agree more with you, violence started in this world when Cain killed Able and has been here ever since. Yet i hope with enough people like ( Martin Luther King) beliefs, of none violent ways we can reached that goal of stopping the violence. No matter when it started. This does not mean we as a people can't stop it.

There is no way to actually stop violence for good, but we can decease the number of violence acts.

I don't think violence can ever be stopped. I think that violence is part of our lives for humans, animals, insects, etc.

Thats rediculous, sure the murderers and rapists deserve this, but not everyone in prison. there are non violent offenders. What your talking about is TORTURE! no food only bread - youd go weak and sick fast. No recreation, NO contact to the outside world, including phone calls and letters? No talking to their KIDS!? Sure so the guy who was talked in to being a look out cant communicate with his kids EVER.. right.. thats BS. There are alot of people in prison for non violent crimes, even some that were legitimatly in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I have a friend in prison, he made a couple dumb mistakes when he was like 19, hes doing 5 years, he does NOT deserve what you are talking about!

You cant say lock them in a room and never let out, only give them water and bread. people with even a 2 year sentence would be insane and homicidal at the end of it! every crime would be a life sentence because noone would servive any amount of time for even the smallest of crimes! Like I said the sick disgusting rapists and murderers I could understand this for, but not the tax evader or the look out or the joy riding car booster.

Prison is no cake walk, there are fights every day, serious injurys and murders, rapes, and so on. I wouldnt want to go to Prison as is!

(and @ mynevaeh that sounds like jail not prison since it was only months at a time.. county jail is much different then prison, people arent in there for as long, and you can go for unpaid traaffic tickets in some cases!)

How will that solve it? there would still be violence like there was before we had those weapons, and ANYTHING can be made into a weapon, people would just use kitchen knives or baseball bats and golf clubs, or big rocks and sharpen sticks ect.

people kill people not guns, some people NEED guns for self defense against bad criminals.. if you outlaw guns, then outlaws will be the only ones with guns (and that they WILL just like they find a way to got all kinds of illegal stuff) and then the avg person will be defensless.

Violence will never be stopped. It is in our nature. All we can do is control it which is what a civilized society is supposed to do. As to weapons, think there isn't violence in prison ?

the sheer thought of my rights, dignity and freedom being taken away from me is torture enough.   the prison enviornment alone is enought to bring out violence in the least violent offenders.  torturing them would be wrong, and putting all offenders in the same group is wrong as well.

Ying and Yang. Good n Evil .Black n White. Right and Wrong.

With no pain, how could there be pleasure? how would we know how good something felt, if nothing ever felt bad?

There has to be 2 sides, or there would be 0, just a grey nuetral area, because without the opposite also in play, everything would be a constant and normal, no straying from it, nothing to compare it to.

Imagine if there was no violence ever - world peace - no wars ever - no murders.. we have 7 billion people as it is right now.. we would be massivly over populated and in serious trouble with resources and polution ect ect.. remember for all that have been killed by violence in the past wars, if they were ALL still alive it would more then likely mean them, theie kids, their kid's kids, ect which is an exponentialy huge number to add to our current massive population...
Some violence is a neccessary evil.

Can we strive to LIMIT the violence? YES. Can we completely abolish it? NO.

Violence can't be stopped entirely, it's part of our animal instinct. The best thing we can do it teach our children how to treat people with respect. Show them that there are other ways of solving problems that don't involve violence.

Yes violence is matter that has to be control, not by taking all the guns away or putting violent offenders in jails.The only way i fill violence will stop is when God  ends it.

Violence can never be stopped completely...we all have agency in this world and are responsible for what we choose.  Until the Lord comes back to reign over His kingdom, violence will unfortunately be a part of human nature.  Sad....but true

Violence is as bad as you let it be; when it comes from within, you surely have control, but refusal to fix your your problem can explode to dangers as well as death. I've experienced violence in my life and I realized that I had to be a solution or the problem. We can talk about the problem,but what does it solve when you aren't trying to change the problem; What are you?

being aware of how violence affects our lives should make us want to control our own personal behavior .

It can be stopped, if everybody came together as a whole.  But since we are imperfect human beings, we have so many out there who loves violence and war.  In some cases its all about MONEY.

No it can't be stopped.  To think we could live in a world where everyone and every country gets along and there is no violence is just crazy.  Gun control wouldn't help the problem in any way shape or form.
