why there are wars???

Question

i just dont understand why...

Answer 1

two kids, two lunches - one kid grabs the other's lunch and tries to keep two - the other kid does not: just put up with it [surprise] - they fight, fight, fight - the kid with two lunches conveniently forgets he is a thief - he is a kid with two lunches, he is a big man, a rich man, no one calls him thief - everyone sees the other kid trying to steal a lunch or two off the other kid - thief! they cry - one kid throws a punch, this makes the other angry, so he throws a bigger punch, bigger and bigger punches go back and forth forever

no one has any time to eat in peace - the two kids have fallen out, they arent friends, they dont play together, they have to fight all the time - this takes energy, both need to eat to get energy, it is very inconvenient -

obviously the kid stolen from loses

less obviously, the kid who steals loses out: he has gone from one lunch [plenty], friendship, eat, play, laugh, relax, to one more lunch than he can use [insignificant plus], plus loss of friend, playmate, trust, free time, energy, relaxation [significant minus] - he has to fight all the time, endlessly, forever, escalatingly - infinite minus

the world work produces US$75,000 of goods/services per family working average hard - world income US$75 trillion, one billion families = US$75,000 per family working average hard

ie, plenty, enough for all - every need and all major desires and almost all minor desires satisfied by fairpay

overpay can add very little pleasure - most desires already satisfied by 'one lunchbox'

first world plunders third world for centuries - steals gold [aztecs], labour [slaves], everything they can - have to fight all the time to keep the plunder - have to plot and plan in every country to keep the plunder - very expensive - but the plunder is very attractive to those who have been plundered, so endless war, to-ing and fro-ing of 'punches' - endless escalation of war and weaponry - very expensive - cost of designing bigger punches to throw - atom bombs

so many lives lost - not just from war deaths, but also those alive in lifecareers in the military - so much waste: buildings, brains - how cheap would rents be today if no buildings had ever been destroyed in war? - how much labour saved by not having to rebuild?

the richer they get, the more powerful they get and the more they rob and plunder and murder and enslave - and the more they get embroiled in war

1% get 90% of world income - do less than 1% of the work

90% are slaves: 90% of people get 10th-1000th of world average pay - and they work harder than average - trying to keep starvation away

limiting fortunes to the most one person can earn by work in a lifetime [US$2 million] and returning the overfortunes to the people who did the work to create that wealth will give liberty equality and fraternity [friendliness] - and peace and plenty - every family working average hard getting all they earn, US$75,000 a year - and save us from escalating war to nuclear winter soon, blocking out the sun everywhere forever - and multiply educated people by ten, and the world market by ten

two kids, eating one lunch each, playing, happy, laughing, friendly, safe, no fighting needed, free time to relax, enjoy each other's company, tell jokes

just make overpay illegal -

the work is spread, the pay should be spread

individual work is limited, pay should be limited

US$15 an hour for everyone, including homemakers and tertiary students - is what we would have if there was no overpay up to a million times the average pay - if 1% didnt get almost all the earnings of everyone in the world

99% are underpaid, so 99% will be keen for justice, fairpay

100% will avoid extinction, violence, war and most crime, danger, unsafety, fear, paranoia, distrust, isolation, so 100% will be keen, if sane

individual contribution to the sum of wealth [fruits of work] is limited, so unlimited overpay is theft - money is power, so unlimited overpay is overpower is tyranny, causing slavery, and more theft, causing endlessly escalating violence

simple, isnt it - so clear! so easy to understand -

but everyone is just taking whatever they can get, and admiring most the ones who get the most

we had to pool the products of work after we started specialising in work, to get a mix of goods for each - but this meant there was a huge pool of goods and everyone just dived in to get as much as possible - inequality, tyranny, slavery, violence - fight fight fight

limit how much a person can take out, and there is enough for everyone, fairpay, no overpay or underpay, no tyranny, slavery, no fight fight fight

no one allowed to take out more than they put in, no one has to get out less than they put in - peace, plenty, paradise

no one can work more than twice as hard as the average [50 hours a week] but we have pay up to a million times average - and consequently 90% of people on a 10th to a 1000th of the average

fight fight fight

israelis steal the land off palestinians and keep them in concentration camps for 50 years - israelis per capita income US$23,000 - palestinians US$1000

fight fight fight

first world plunders third world for centuries

fight fight fight

ours is a culture of theft - whatever you get, regardless of how much you put into the pool of wealth by work, is yours - can you get a billion out? - good on you! - well done! - can you steal ten lunches? - good on you! well done! - can you steal 100 lunches? - ten times better!

we are incredibly stupid, we are hurting ourselves so enormously

do we care about the many legal ways money moves from earners [makers] to nonearners [rakers]?

do thousands of years of escalation of war and weaponry bother us?

does arriving at biosphere total destruction capability worry us?

every animal and bird is pursuing its happiness constantly - never is lost from pursuing its happiness - always knows what it is doing

it has never become generally obvious that, as no one can work more than twice as hard as the average, no one should be getting more than twice the average income [including increase of fortune]

that more than twice the average income HAS to be wrong, has to be theft, has to be injustice

why are we paying bill gates US$500,000 [1998 dollars] an hour, every working hour? - average, peaking up to US$10 million an hour - why do we think that kind of money can possibly have been earned?

how dumb do you have to be to have pay like that and no suspicion of the existence of overpay?

how long after we take on board the notion of overpay do we suspect underpay?

how long after that does it take the human mind to arrive at overpay/underpay = theft?

how long after that do we recall that theft makes people angry?

how long does it take before we are adding 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and getting ten?





perhaps it is better if we do extinguish ourselves

Answer 2

Every war starts with a decision to escalate tensions further than their current state. They all come down to some person deciding to go to war. Modern society hides these decision makers somewhat, but history is filled with examples of people deciding to go to war. Hitler, Alexander, Hannibal, Napoleon, Bush.

Some of the answers so far seem to reflect a debate our country had in the run up to the war in Iraq. That is, some think that war is a justified means of conducting a county's affairs and some think that it is an intolerable condition.

Answer 3

The answer is found in global anarchy; no one nation is "ruler of the world". Every nation is out for its own interests, and each one has a different amount of resources to use at its disposal in affecting the world around it. Some of those nations' interests bump up against other national interests, and varying amounts of leverage are used to make the adversary do its will. Some countries use diplomacy. Some use activities short of war. Some use direct, overt warfare, with varying degrees of intensity along each spectrum. So to answer your question, wars exist as a violent (and risky) way to convince the adversary to do the will of a nation.

Answer 4

1. Wants
2. Needs
3. Jealousy
4. Greed
5. Fear
6. Poverty
7. Control
8. Power
9. Money
10. Resources
That's the top ten,but you gotta place them in the right order yourself.Only those who start the wars will ever truly know why,and yet never fight like the leaders of old,who led their people by example.

Answer 5

why not?

its the same reason why you'd grab something or hit someone if you wanted the same thing, or disliked their opinions. you could look at it as purely economics - scarsity of goods, or political - opinion/ignorance (this includes racist, religious wars too), or even a form of competition.

i find the sardonic answer is let someone else do the fighting... society can benefit from new tech, or political ideas emerging on the home front. in the case of the US, maybe people will stop voting Republican for some reason.

Answer 6

Bidding for all products for the military should be blended and there should be a reduce of no more effective than 50% more effective than the conventional fee for a civilian in protecting with merchandise placed on them. Welfare should be thoroughly reformed. because the overall public of moms not in any respect finished extreme college, faculties could upload a form for those on welfare so as that the mummy and the youngsters ought to both attend each day. part of the mummy's homework each day should be making effective the youngsters did theirs. this can supply the youngsters the concept coaching became important. If the mummy's have finished extreme college, then they should be enrolled in a coaching application for something more effective than a minimum salary interest or placed by an section junior college. notwithstanding the initial expenditure ought to probable be more effective than our modern-day ones, i believe lets virtually do away with welfare interior one technology basically by technique of those transformations. All faculties less than the faculty aspect should be nationalized. Their funding should be adequate to keep all of them about equivalent in infrastructure, kit like pcs, and starting to be a instructor should be made a lot more effective sturdy. we received't have adequate money to have such an choppy coaching received in numerous states. we favor ALL our youthful ones knowledgeable to a similar aspect, with slightly of luck adequate to get us off the bottom of the lists in math and technology. This of direction ought to fee more effective, yet contained in the destiny ought to get us our jobs back and set the commercial gadget buzzing back.

Answer 7

Human nature, plus the world would get boring w/o war

Answer 8

There are wars for many reasons. Some are over religion (Jihad). Some are over land. Some are because the person in charge simply feels like it.

Answer 9

War is the continuation of politics by other means. People want things they can not get by themselves, so they attack to get it.

Answer 10

Because there are evil people out there who want to kill you. because you don't worship Islam. Even if you did worship Islam, It still wouldn't be good enough.

Believe it or not, Wars save lives...most notably, yours.

Answer 11

Wars are started by cowards who cannot justify their position by any other means.
