I for one am an opposer of war and I think this would be a great topic since I havent seen anyothers like it in this section.
I'm sure we all know war is horrible. But considering how beast-like humans can get, I honestly believe it's an effective last-resort for solving conflicts.
Very well put. [/b][/quote] Agreed Wars are not acts of God. They are caused by man, by man-made institutions, by the way in which man has organized his society. What man has made, man can change.
War is just used to make the goverment look good. But no one can stop violence. It's Impossible. After all were human aren't we?
Survival is violence. We have to eat to survive, what to we happen to eat? Animals. We can't eat them live, because that wouldn't taste good or be healthy (I assume), so we kill them and cook them. Commiting an act of violence to stay alive. Like some thug with a gun to your head trying to get the money in your wallet to buy some food to feed his family, unknowing that you were about to go buy some food to feed yours. It's terrible that we live this way, but it's just nature.
i am a pacifist...i just think it is wrong to kill people. and that good side bad side #### annoys the hell out of me. one side always has to be the good side, one has to be the bad...but it changes depending on who you talk to. why can't we just solve out problems another way?
Yeah but sometimes war is the only answer. It may suck, but until you figure out a way that we can deal with it, good luck. And what if someone was about to throw a grenade at you, huh? Wouldn't you want to defend yourself?

[/b][/quote] if someone threw a grenade at me, i would run. i would not try to defend myself cuz chances are, they have more grenades hidden somewhere, and i would not want to fight back. war only leads to death.

i read a book recently. it was like a fairytale but for grownups and there were many issuses in it. so these peaceful people lived in a very wealthy and great kingdom. one day the king decided to bury everything considered as a weapon so that there would no wars going on in the peaceful kingdom. so they all did this and they all danced and everybody was happy. and then couple of years later, a different army came from far away. but the peaceful people had no weapons to defend their country with. so they all died or became slaves. i thought this story was related to the topic. there is no way for peace. wars are horrible events. but theres no way you can stop them. :wth:
