Ahem"Violence never solves anything. Trust me, I'm a military man, I should know."
Exactly correct. *EVERY* major (and more than a few minor) issue that has arisen at any time throughout human history has been solved through application of violence. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue—and thoroughly immoral—doctrine that ‘violence never settles anything’ I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. "

Nah, not contagious, but it is sexually transmitted.“Life is a contagious deadly disease”
Yes - it should be:Nah, not contagious, but it is sexually transmitted.
I've always preferred the phrasing, "Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% fatality rate".“Life is a contagious deadly disease”
Your phrasing is more elegant, but mine is correct too.I've always preferred the phrasing, "Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% fatality rate".
