Cry Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war.

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~Charles Sumner

 

War is the biggest supportable waste of resource on the planet, simply because it is the biggest waste of resource.

One countries resource = One countries power = Power to be contested = War.

 

War, which wastes resource to gain resource, is contradicting on a scale larger than nearly anything else.

 

I hate it for it's fake patriotic front, mostly. However, the accumulation of resource countries submit themselves to in order to counter their opponents is incredibly disillusional. Ironically, it's race, ethnicity, that separates who's an opponent and who's not. Why be against racism, if our entire current world order's built upon it?

 

Eh. =/.

 

 

If war was needed' date=' why is there war? See he makes no sense. The world would be one big moarcy if it wern't for war/

Waitwaitwait.

 

If war was needed, why is their war?

 

...

 

OMGWTF.

 

I'm actually laughing, since you typed that like you contributed something insightful. It was great.

 

Well, I'm assuming you meant to say monarchy when you said moarcy. Monarchy wouldn't be the result of lack of war, in fact, Monarchy would only promote war. What greater resource to be taken, than the resource of a man that can control countries? Ffs. War's a globalized version of individualism, at most. It doesn't help stop Monarchy on any standard. =/.

 

I mean, America spends Approx. 1 trillion dollar's on it's defense network.

 

Is this worth resource? Is money, a resource, worth another resource? Is their even a guarantee of resource coming out of war? Who the hell would think something like this is beneficial?

 

Ironically, Your government does.

 

Trillion's in budgeting, in an attempt to control oil and the like. all RESOURCE.

 

WHY THE HELL ARE WE SPENDING RESOURCE ON RESOURCE!

 

IS OUR RACE NOT RETARDED!

 

..

 

Oh, wait.

 

Now, discuss war again.

War is a natural cog in the machine of the universe it cannot be exterminated for long nor can it be ruled out as being good or evil. Not only that but good and evil alone are matters of opinion and thus cannot be truely defined. Even if you were to simplify good and evil as saving a life and destroying a life one would still need to define life. Is it all about quality of life or the longevity of life? Most might say quality of life. If one feels best dying in servitude to one's country then would it be more like saving a life by giving said life a higher level of quality then it could have gotten if war was not existent? Oh and Invader Zim was a good show mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

war is a part of nature, one country/group has better resources or are closer to water than another country/group, and the group farther away wants the best for themselves and therefore they attack the other country/group to gain their resources and/or land.

 

If humans are truly more intelligent than animals they should be able to resolve conflict without having to kill each other.

Indeed.

 

War hasn't served any purpose but to advance the desires of the few, no matter how righteous their desires might be.

 

It's all but waste. And, if I may quote Murakami, waste is the greatest virtue in our society.
