Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don't want that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.
We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.
I'm not saying that women leaders would eliminate violence. We are not more moral than men; we are only uncorrupted by power so far. When we do acquire power, we might turn out to have an equal impulse toward aggression.
Yes, violence begets more violence, but historically this has been the way of the world.
The violence in the world comes about because we human beings are forever creating barriers between men who are like us and men who are not like us.
There are some people that just attract violence to them. No matter where they go, they'll find a fight.
As a tactic, violence is absurd. No one can compete with the Government in violence, and the resort to violence, which will surely fail, will simply frighten and alienate some who can be reached, and will further encourage the ideologists and administrators of forceful repression.
People have a right to violence, to rebel, to fight back.
People have long assumed that violence is necessary for political change.

All that violence in the world, we need to stop that.
