Violence; does it work?

[billy]

The question isn't about morality. does violence work, does it achieve anything. basically anything to do with violence. have you ever wanted to physically hurt another human, animal, etc. is there a solution to rid the (lets hypothesise) home of violence. ..how?
are we all capable of (hypothesising again) murder or torture?
is censorship a form of violence. when you get deep down into violence the water gets a little murky, is retaliation seen as a violent act?

is smacking a child, even lightly too violent an act?
