I don't think its necessary. No one deserves to die.
I'm going to say this now, and several times throughout this post, but there are a fuck ton of people in this world who need to have their lives prematurely ended. When I say a fuck ton, I'm speaking about a good 20-30% of the world population. If I'm alive when medical science reaches several more breakthroughs and with further government aid people are able to live in ease for eighty to one hundred years I am not going to be a happy camper.
War isn't necessary. They could just have a debate about it like what we do here in the forums. The government can just make debate about it like we do. We do not go to people's houses and kill them to end our debate with them. We just finish it with a talk. Remember, words are powerful too.
Are you honestly this blind to how things work in this world? Hopefully you are at least in high school now and socialize with people of different variety everyday. I don't give a fuck who you are, with the amount of close minded fucks in this world, you are not going to enter a debate and change anyone's mind. Do you not understand that some people could care less and will push their beliefs on others regardless, or just want to see the world burn.
war is not a neccesity, if people only learned to get along with each other the world would be better off (and if we had no politicians)
but it is our human nature that makes us want to better other people.. so we fight with them :/
If we had no politicians? That's a bit unfair. Just because we have corrupt officials who are too busy worrying about greed doesn't mean you should label all of them as such. Without politicians, who else is there to stand up for what you may believe in? People do know how to get along with one another. What people don't know how to do is be fucking tolerant of one another and respectful of each other. What do you know about human nature? Humans don't naturally strive to be more successful than one another.
But most of the people up there can't think of another one.
Honestly in this day in time I think we are due for a good war. To dream of a world without war and conflict is madness.
War is inevitable. If you put two people in an enclosed room together they'll eventually come up with a reason to kill each other. This can also be said for mankind in general. Mankind can never have enough. As long as someone else has something someone else wants then there will be war. Also if no one ever had wars imagine the kind of crisis we'd be in. The overpopulation would be at ridiculous levels if wars had never been fought. The human race repopulates much too quickly. Therefore war is a necessity.
If you put two people in an enclosed room together they will eventually come up with a reason to kill one another? What the fuck are you smoking?
People will obviously fight due to differences, aggravation due to starvation, and food. As far as war being a means to control human population, I'm all for it. There are too many of us anyways.
We went from 1 billion people in the early 1800's to over 7 billion today. Population growth occurred because of industrial, medical and agricultural advancements. It has nothing to do with war keeping the population in check before that time.
Don't forget these faggot ass baby boomers and the sudden value we put on life because of the advancements in medical science.
Okay so all this arguing over war is understandable and i understand many of the points of views each of you have made... However the fact of the matter is war is just like anything else in history, no matter how hard you try to make a perfect "Utopia" it will always be their. I personally don't think war is necessary does that mean that it won't happen of course not. My favorite quote is this, "As long as there is man, there will be war." -Julius Ceaser He said this back when humans where still gashing at each other with swords and using the most brutal of ways to accomplish their goals. War, needless to say, has evolved much since then. I think that it is just as, or even more so brutal as it was back then, but throughout history there has never been any single point where no one in the world was at war. Asking a question such as "is war necessary?" is very logical. But you must look at the full spectrum of things. Constants in this world are; war, poverty, death, taxes, and many more, its sad but its true. People die everyday and that's not likely to change just by talking about it. If anybody ever finds a way to successfully develop "peace" I will eat every word I have just said about this subject. But war has its benefits as well, and the biggest one I think, although a little fucked up, is that it keeps the world population low. I understand if you do not like this comment but its merely just that a commented opinion.
I personally believe the reason we have yet to enter into a major world war again is that even with the nuclear weapons compact (whatever the fuck its called) everyone is still afraid that they're going to piss the wrong person off and end up fucking us all up. Worldly disputes are just like disputes in high school. It all boils down to whether or not the people involved are just trying to talk big and tough, or whether or not someone is true to their word.
Reducing population is not just the only benefit to war. I believe Exilement also mentioned the advances in science such as the gain of penicillin and other new discoveries from WWII. Another thing to gain is an economic boost. If companies start donating some of their time and resources to manufacturing weapons for the US Military like they have done before, it helps to put more people in work and more money in the economy.
