Musical-Mettaur 41 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 Lets talk about war, shall we? Most people think war is about killing the enemy until it's over and you capture what you need, ay? But no, that's not how it works at all. War isn't about defense and offense, it's about endurance. It's about wearing out the enemy until they give up. Killing the other side might work well, but you know what really wins wars? Injured soldiers. You see, the key to winning a war is sending back enough survivors with lets say...a leg blown off by a land mine. Send poor disabled trooper Johnny back in a wheelchair to Ma and Pa civilian, and they start thinking that maybe the war ain't a good idea after all. They start to protest it, fighting for you from inside. See what I mean? Any contrary opinions on this? Although to be honest, this wasn't such deep thinking, just pondering while eating pizza rolls.

Dragonshy 2,305 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 I'm not pro-war nor anti-war. War is a bad thing. If there could be no war that would be great. Unfortunately, alot of the time, war is necessary. So if there is a war, I will support it because most wars don't start out of stupid accusations. Also, I plan to have a career in the Military at some point (Marines). Keep in mind I'm 14, so don't take my post too seriously. 1 Yeh Want to know how to get more page views? Click here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 War does not have one way of working. War is not caused for one reason and rarely are wars ever fought for the reasons displayed. What you are referring to is a form of psychological warfare. religion is how war start Actually, many wars begin with people who share the same kind of ignorant simplistic thinking you've deployed here. Blaming war on one source or one group is how numerous wars have begun. It results in war and massacres being waged and committed against those who were blamed. 5 LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice. Fees and penalties still apply.

Musical-Mettaur 41 April 5, 2012 Author Share April 5, 2012 (edited) Lets see...trolling, sarcasm, war is good for nothing, and...we come across one post on how it is necessary. Not really going into detail on that though, eh? Look, war is very necessary. If not for war, and other checks on the human population, we would quickly overpopulate. It's sad, but incurable diseases, which I do not enjoy mind you, natural disasters, and war, help keep down the human population. As human beings, higher in intelligence, we've pushed beyond our carrying capacity and moved on to exponential growth, without the long-term means to support it.

Strafe 594 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 (edited) You're not really describing how war works but how war is ended. Some people see war as this great thing to show that our country is better than another and then they finally realize that war is the worst possible thing that could ever happen to a country. Anyway sure I'm there's a lot more to war than any of us know already. Edited April 5, 2012 by Strafe 2 "The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last.

You praise the mindless bloodshed, atrocities and wars of history because you feel they helped with population control? Actually should the world have been void of wars, humanity likely would have developed efficient ways of managing land and resources to deal with larger populations. 1 LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice.

Rudolphin 76 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 War will always exist until humans all share a common interest. With the ability of limitless knowledge, and no restrictions to what we can think and not think humans will always disagree. That's what makes human's unique over animals. War even though people never like the idea is the only means of making a point now a days. I am not for war, but if war were to arise I'll support as long as the reasons are legit. Politics only do so much over brute force and dominance. Until nations can realize a common interest War will always happen. Maybe not for 10's of years, but it will always threaten the sanctuary of peace. - I agree with you with how to win a war, and that is usually the most efficient way to win cause the enemy to collapse upon itself by using their people - War has been started for years dating back to the biblical times due to the fact that God has given us the power to win. This situation falls into the category i previously stated until people realize a common interest and idea. Until man thinks as one and not different? *sounds funny* humans will never stop fighting, If humans have stopped fighting and think as one. Humans are no longer humans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musical-Mettaur 41 April 5, 2012 Author Share April 5, 2012 (edited) I'm not worshiping it, I'm just saying it's now necessary. Man...I really got it across wrong. Hey, I got Ninja'd on your post, I didn't see yours, right? And sadly, I don't think humanity could ever have had a peaceful, nice way of doing things. We have advanced minds. Which means there is always a man in power who rather play by force, thinking he is the most powerful, and therefore deserves all. I'm digging my own grave here..

And this is what I was talking about. Without war, my character buu342 would exist... Yeah, i believe that religion is the main reason for war(WW2) That is why i really don't have any religion, although i am forced to be cathlic because of my parents... And...what the heck is this?

You believe that was the cause of the war? You mean you simply pin World War II on religion without actually having any factual data to support you claims? World War II was caused by multiple factors. You are not only targeting one factor, but you are targeting a factor that arguably had little to no relevance to the war.

NewCalamity 3,454 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 War is inevitable, humanity will never cease war because of differing opinions and views. One faction does not agree with yours and their ideology clashes with yours? The solution, remove them from the equation. Thankfully it seems that full-scale conventional warfare isn't popular anymore. Though war is still going on, everywhere. All over the world are small engagements no matter how small, people clash with one another in hopes to prevail and find justice in their own ways of life. Unfortunately, humanity profits from war. War has stimulated technological advancement and has furthered our own civilization, while at the same time, destroying it. Warfare's impact on humanity's progress has been amazing to say the least, though now that we've discovered the power of nuclear weaponry, we risk losing everything and having to start from the beginning. 6 Ob's stürmt oder schneit. | Whether it storms or snows.

DrOphthalmos 497 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 In fact, if animals were just as smart as us, the would later most likely start a war themselves. > Animals do go to war - particularly insects. War is avoided by smart people - smart people realize that war hurts both sides. Wars are started by the scared and the greedy. Of course, smart people also realize that war will happen and prepare for it. Go read this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lightning Da Cute 619 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 War is inevitable, it's not a invention of humans No animals have fought like our wars for longer than we've been around. We just made it better, or should I say worst? The war you speak of is a war of the morale. No! War cannot be defined! There are more than 1 type of war and there are more than 1 way to fight a war. I'm a child of war, I may not know every thing about it but I do know a life worth. I want to end war but that'll cause more blood to be spilled and it won't solve anything for long.

Mr. Wobbels 664 April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labor power without producing anything that can be consumed - George Orwell, 1984 THIS SIGNATURE IS POTATOES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemi Homura 7,680 April 7, 2012 Share April 7, 2012 Unfortunately, humanity profits from war. War has stimulated technological advancement and has furthered our own civilization, while at the same time, destroying it. Warfare's impact on humanity's progress has been amazing to say the least, though now that we've discovered the power of nuclear weaponry, we risk losing everything and having to start from the beginning. I honestly believe that's the bigger problem... with all these arms races, we're advancing at a rate in which it could be deemed as we're advancing too fast. We wouldn't know how to use such technology responsibly and as a result we will probably end up screwing ourselves over. I read a short story named "By The Waters of Babylon" and it was about a futuristic society which was ironically primitive technologically. Such "tribes" lived in the United States for a while until one of their people, who was the son of a high ranking member of said society ventured out into the further to uncover the truth of what happened before his peoples' time. When he got to a ruined city (which is now destroyed New York City) however, he realized that the people who lived there before destroyed themselves, not just through conflicts, but with the rapid growth of their technology. Although they uncovered nuclear weaponry, which was a major accomplishment for their time, it was a curse in disguise as they were unable to fully understand what they would do with it. Their common nature just escalated matters and as conflicts went on, they turned to these said weapons and ultimately wrote their own fate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 5,330 April 7, 2012 Share April 7, 2012 There's too many reasons why war starts, consequently everyone has had their own. War starts from actions that anger someone, maybe a disagreement, or something else, but what we could do is just hope for world peace someday...
