It is much better to be alive than it is to be dead. no? Then why do we engage ourselves in wars in wich people can get killed?

War is sometimes nessicary to destory evil

Cause we quite frankly don't ****ing care aboot other people. We are selfish Bastards that just think aboot there own good. And don't come here and say "NO I am not". Yes we all are. So we make wars to malke our lives better, not all of us of course only the powerfuul. Oh and peiople that participate in wars like Soldiers again have selfish rteasons to fight in a war. Whats yourt problöem with war anyw3ay?

Shit happens.

"Killing is always wrong, but our instinct lead us to it." quote by peterKSL
during english class...

Killing is not wrong, who told you it is?
Well except for law and shite I mean why is killing Bad? IF yoiu meet someomne you don't know on the street and you can kill him without any consequences, what bad is that for you? Oh and our instinct doesn't lead us to kill except if it sees a positive outcome from it.

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

good point

Yeah we Germans know how to trick our own people into war

Something it is nessary.So we have to do it.If it is a pointless war then it is not but I don't think the war that we are having now is not pointless it has a reason.
I may not know what that reason is but I stand behind bush and his deccison as our president.JM

Yeah well I don't care if Bush would just say the reqal reason, its probably money or something, but this lying is unnecessary.

Oh and you don't think the war is not pointless actually means that it is pointless, I just found that funny.

Exactly...

there is evil in everyone of us, it just needs to be triggered somehow, by then, will humans extinct???

Hey if you don't like bush then you dont like him.But just because you dont' like him does not mean that there is a reason for this law.The rumor about him doing this because of his father is wrong.JM

This was a general question, not oriented on a specific event.

Whats wrong with not liking or questioning war?

I never said he did that for his father and I really don'T care for Bush positive or negative, I just think that when you start bombing a coun try you should at least state the reasons.
I don't like that war, well I wopuldn't have started it, but since Bush did well now I don'T care.

Nothing, whats wrong with asking what you don't like aboot war, and for what reason?

Well I don't like war because people are slaughtered in them. look at the Vietnam war. Why the hell were we in there in the first place? I mean for god's sake it just some ****ing communist insurgents. When you think about it Nixon the very man who prolonged the sensless massacre in 'nam didn't even look at the pros, and beleive me there are some, of communism. But I've gone off on a tangent. I simply dislike war because of the deaths. There are other ways for the human race to express the anger inside them other than violence.

I don't like war either but people join in them to fight for their country

Exactly! I've been waiting for someone to mention that! The only way to stop war is to get rid of all of the boundaries! Then there will be no soldiers to fight for a country in the first place!

There still would be civil wars due to cultural differences.

I dont understand war. I believe it's just human's nature to kill his own kind . The worst part is that some people agree with it, and do it for their pleasure. I mean, i saw a documentary about the US, on how they bombed Iraq. Those cruel bastards made me sick, they were probably 18 or something, they were drunk, and listened to heavy metal while they randomly shot everything that moved. How f*cked up is that?
The thing that made me sick was the fact that they spoke about it like it was some computer game
People are naturally evil, i simply can't understand how they can be so stupid and selfish.

^^
There won't be cultural differences! No one is Mexican or European or African american. You're just a member of the human race.

You can' t wipe out a cultural background. It would take more than 1 generation.

that'll take a long long time and will prolly fail. even in old countries like France there are still a lot of cultural differences, not all violent but worldwide it would cause major conflicts

War really is a natural thing. Its not always about "destroying evil", in fact, the majority of wars throughout history boil down to one thing; optimisation/greed. More land. More food. Oil. Power. Wealth. One side the aggressor, aiming o improve itself, the other the defender, trying to survive. Animals fight amongst themselves to optimise their lives, but that is natural, not really choice, humans however consciously do it.

Well in an ideal world it wouldn't be has hard if everyone wanted peace and civility

yes but an ideal world does not exist so there is not much point in talking about it

War is majorly based on economy.

Not really in the 60's and 70's there seemed to be alot of wars against communism ie. Vietnam and the Korean conflict. There's also this war on Iraq it seems to bee a war based on economy as you mentioned and Bush's unrealistic dream of ridding the entire world of Terrorism and dictatorship. It's a good cause but it seems to be rather foolhardy and plus the fact he only has 4 more years in wich to do it in.

Howard Zinn: War is a class phenomenon. It is the poor who go to war, who get wounded and die in war.

Korean conflict 1950-1953 kind of not 60-70

Oh sorry I guess I was mistaken. 50s-60s then.

There will always be war, nothing can stop it. I find it very replusive that conflicts are won by throwing people at it, but it cant be stop. They will never be a peaceful world. There will always be some person not liking another person, and then throw a woman in it, and you get conflict. Also war keeps the world population down, which is very sad thought, but it does.

And war is not based on economy. Maybe now it is but are you telling me the reason for WW1 and WW2 were started because of the economy. Or how about the Civil War, War of 1812?

should add the 70`s too since the Vietnam war lasted until the mids of that decade

You obviously have not done extensive research or read Howard Zinn's Just or Unjust War.

there is no good reason to go to war
it is a complete waste of time because we just get even more mad at whom ever is fighting us and we kill for revenge no point in going to war

I wouldnt say that, we just dont care about other people who disagree with our beliefs. People always say how un necissary war is. Yes, the concept may be un necissary, but the action of war itself is necissary. the way we express and hold our emotions is bound by our history. thousands of years of war mentality cannot be changed overnight or even in a hundred years. Our history and what we choose to learn from our past makes it impossible to Never have war. Peace is a nice ideal in the land of hippie dreams, but in reality it is the one thing that always makes our kind evolve and grow. Maybe if wars of our species would have been decided by debates we could be peacefull people that choose to come together to excell in our futures. However, we choose to settle disagreements by death, which brings upon easy living and technology for the victors.

No offense, Harryslover14 but don't you think you should update your Avatar and Sig to a teenage Daniel Radcliffe and not the child Daniel Radcliffe? Just a suggestion.

And I agree with what you are saying.
