Who wants a war?

Gran Hermano · 03-09-2008 01:54PM

Nothing like a war to stimulate an economy and help a country out of a recession.

In all fairness, it is true we are entertained by the war coverage by the media, remember when iraq began? I think I stayed up all night watching missles blow up building all around baghdad when it began...

but to actually will a war for your own entertainment is quite sick tbh. That said we probably dont need to will it to happen, the state of the world atm pretty much guarantee's more conflict by the end of this decade.

Define what you mean when you say sick, and explain why this is sick

I'm all for it. People are getting killed the world over and no one gives a **** or at least no one with the power to stop it.
Maybe one massive World War whereby the survivors realise that we're all one race and finally sort their **** out.
Not different religions. Not different colours. Not different cultures.
But one race.

And bring on more comical Ali's.

I don't care about people being killed in this war I postulate, isn't there some saying about breaking eggs to make omelette's? I am not willing to make any personal sacrifice of any kind but that doesn't mean that I can't be entertained by the plight of others

Having walked past rows of the bodies of men, women and children laid out by the side of the road with their heads open and brains melting in the south east Asian sun, after the Nice People got ahold of them, what I would say to you is, stop posting.

simplesam has become serioussam......:eek:

fact is sam, it happens ALL the time. with a big world war, somebody will stand up for these people with force. war is as natural as anything else. you just have to get past moral issues first to see the benefits

Somebody was standing up for them with force, not that it did them any good.

There is nothing natural about war, thats why soldiers need to be specially trained to kill people. One of the biggest problem facing generals in world war one was that many soldiers literally refused to shoot. It goes completely against the grain to kill your own species, except in certain circumstances.

It's not nice alright. Think they got somebody for that though .. can't remember exactly but think they found an industrial sized tube of superglue in his boot or summit.

war is natural, like it or not. its the basis of society, its part of culture, part of our world that has been here since the very beginning. greed is natural. violence is natural. 2+2=4

you may not agree with war, many people dont. but like it or not, its always been and always will be

Yes, I think it's that time again, when the big knobs sit around the table and decide how many millions of people need to get fried, so that they and the survivors can maintain their standard of living.

If they overdo it, then only Terry and the cockroaches will be left.

The original title of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" was "War, What is it good for?"

That sentence makes no sense.

The army shelled a few mountain villages to the ground a few days later in retaliation, and that didn't do them any good either.

You have no idea what you are talking about, frankly. In any case, making statements along the lines of "war is entertainment" is trolling at best, staggering ignorance at worst.

I'm not supporting this perticular armies tacticts or ideals per say. I said "give the good guys a bigger stick" as in; give the "good" side the means to carry out what will ultimatly be deemed benevolent actions.

I have no idea what I'm talking about? I consider myself educated enough, and I have opinons. Enough said. May I see your qualifications and credentials please? (This is rhethorical by the way)

"war is entertainment", nope, I didn't say that.

And if it was something else that i said that insinuated this phrase such as " communism loves you" - do remember; this is AH - home of Idiosyncrasy

It's pretty self explanatory, it's sick to actually will people to die for your own amusement.

In anyway, Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down are far more enjoyable
