Quote from the play M. Butterfly: : “I think the reason we fight wars is because we wear clothes. Because no one knows – between the men, I mean – who has the bigger… weenie.”

The fact that wars are territorial and religious doesn't invalidate the "weenie" theory as another contributing factor!

I think that the fact that wars are territorial & religious actually proves the weenie theory, certainly if 'clothes' symbolize more than just a mode of dress.
Men are all about who's got the bigger/better god, car, dick, army, whatever. Always running off to prove themselves better, stronger, or more virile than the next guy.
I think this goes back to the caveman. So while Graham I is correct in saying that the Greeks fought in the nude, I think that 'clothes' is more symbolic than literal. A man can't tell from just looking at another man how great his 'potential' actually is. They have fight to prove it.

It is because we can still see some skin with our clothes. Our ennemies want us to have men unshaved during 3 years and women with a beach towel on their heads.

I do believe the "weenie theory" is valid in some ways. For instance, the male peacock with the largest and most beautiful tail does get the most "peapuss." Us men are constantly trying to impress women in different ways to get the opportunity to reproduce, which is part of the subconscious biological makeup of men. So the theory men go to war to see also who is "biggest" or strongest may also be valid. They say that a man's gun is an extension of his penis, so the bigger the gun, the bigger the penis.

I belive if women put out more, and were a little less trying, and allowed many people in a relationship, we could end all war

I agree! And let's you and I be the first to set the example. Highly reported and news photos send around the globe...We publicly disrobe and achieve World Peace!
For your part the men would be 'oggling to the point of little other brain function...
For my part the women would be laughing so hard they could not function.
And there we have it! World Peace!

Unlikley. Wars happen because of religion,oil and disputes over land.

I'd like to see a naked war. If anything it would be entertaining to watch.

I agree with Johnny, it's as good a reason as any of the other ones we've been throwing around the past few years...
