Why is violence a solution for kids?

[Berethond]

I am just so sick of people acting like bashing someones skull in would solve anything... unless that person is like seriously sick to animals and human beings.

Except it would solve things.

So Escapist, have you ever noticed how so many peoples response is i am going to kick his ass? Or this or that, do people not realize that in real life things don't work like that!

They dont? Thats rather funny, fighting a WBC member who was tearing into my gay friend sure solved things a lot quicker then talking. In fact, its actualy solved a lot more things then talking has.

Anyway, I would say in America its easy cause you arent punished as easily any more. Plus the image of those we look up to has changed. People wnat to live the thug life, or look cool, and those they want to impress live on that basis. So is all about how the culture views itself.

nothings more humbling than an asskicking.

/agree....tell me he blead and cryed and i will be SOOO happy...also...words and reasoning and what not cant solve everything....look at the middle east.

Because violence is a solution to us.

Violence is in our animal nature, and often an easy action to take. Also, it can be quite effective.

This and the fact that I read Starship Troopers. Sometimes too much >.>

Isn't it the most effective way of solving a problem by statistics? I am open to enlightenment!

Probably because everyone thinks it's "cool" if it's not happening to them, and you might wanna add that hormones and undeveloped parts of the brain could play a factor...

Also what he said, I just learnt yesterday that the brain is full developed by the age of 26-27.

Now why do people misspell things on the internet? That's a good question.
[sub]More of satire but when proving a point as serious as this please make the time and effort into some decent spelling.[/sub]

EDIT:Also morals may come into order here, some people grow up thinking that violence is and always will be the right answer.

Probably because of the simplicity of the solution, not to call kids stupid, but with their experience they seem to believe that getting in the mindset of hitting a guy is going to solve their problems.

Cuz it feels good.

"I'm gonna kick his ass" is tame compared to some of the things I've heard coming outta people these days. I think it's a power thing, they wanna feel tough.

It's a natural human response, even before we had words or society we had hitting people when they do something that you don't like, it's the oldest language out there.

factor in that kids are inexperienced in society and that they are filled with hormones, and sometimes they just respond with very basic human behavior

It's called a typo, well all have them. I try to type to fast and i don't pay attention.

My favourite is when they are going to 'kick your ass' or 'beat the shit out of you' to somehow prove you are wrong or that their opinion is better than your's, as opposed to backing it up with facts and logical arguments like sensible people.

Well, it would slightly be related to what a kid could be exposed to. Though there'd be some sort of natural instinct in there somewhere, like when you'd fight with your siblings, it'd be interesting to see if kids would think of violence as a solution in an unviolent upbringing. Games are generally thought to increase violence, but all media would, as well as other people you can encounter. If you were to cut out any media, friends, parents, interaction with people who haven't been brought up the same way, and history books, I wonder how calm they'd be.

But yeah, tl;dr it's probably because they're exposed to it in so many ways it's just a common occurance.

Thank you sir, i am glad you made this point! See in real life violence is used by uneducated people and what is the result, they either go to jail or get taken to court and what not, You kicked his ass but he will get his revenge.. and his will be so much more sweet.

Then perhaps editing it >.>? Okay I'll stop now, there's no point in talking any further.

 

[LittleJP]

It's the quickest and easiest ways for short term problem solving. Kids don't tend to think as long term at a young age.

Lol i love your avatar.. and yes.. i don't think things through, i am tired and i am slow right now normally i am just a little bit faster . This made me think of a saying, that those who think they know it all know nothing and ever will, those that recognize there mistakes and how dumb they are will strive to learn more and become more intelligent.

I love how almost everyone here has looked down on violence as an act that only a boorish ape or mislead hormone swelled teen would do, where as in reality no one here would be above it if they ever found themselves in a situation where it is the best course of action.

You don't have to be a stupid hormone induced teen to act violently, only human.

OT: Possibly because up until recently violence was the answer to most major problems? History is full of violence solving problems and did so up until not to long ago, when our problems changed to economic and natural resource problems.

You know that is one of the most mature and open-minded replies I've seen on the internet.
