War is not a best solution . Animals fight with each other to solve their problems?

Question

When a human searches war, it is indicative that
1, He is not intelligent enough to solve problem by the other means, so he immediately goes in to war, because war is the easiest, yet stupidest way for solving a problem
2, He does not have so much humanity either since, his behavior is now getting close to our primary ancestors that solve their problem by fighting with each other
what would you think about war ?

Answer 1

Yeah, lets just let the warmongers of other countries build up and invade unchecked. I am sure they will leave us alone if we had no military. You are just a genius aren't you.

Answer 2

Damn idealist! The reason we fight is because were so human.

1. "He is not intelligent enough to solve problems by any other means, so he immediately goes into war because war is the easiest, yet the most stupid way for solving a problem."
Okay! From what you're saying, (we Americans, at least)should've let King George beat us around. We should've let the Confederacy split from us, own slaves, and defy America. We shouldn't have given a damn about both World Wars.
[sarcasm]Sounds like a great idea![sarcasm]

2. "He does not have so much humanity either since his behavior is now getting close to our ancestors that solve their problems by fighting with each other."
Oh brother... Obviously you've never heard of, "A time for peace, a time for war" (I probably made that up, but who cares?). And obviously, you don't believe in dying for something you believe? GAH!

Answer 3

We are animals, too, and war is in our genes, for better or worse. The best we can do is to recognize that now we have the ability to completely wipe off life from this planet, where once the worst we could do was kill a small percentage of it. We also have to recognize that we are all in this together, and that diplomacy should always be our first and best option and that the world as a whole cannot tolerate warmongers. The Geneva Convention and the founding of the UN were perhaps the brightest spots in an otherwise bloody century.

Answer 4

We have been at peace, quite, while 1000's died on our very own soil by using an idiotic act via an idiotic guy and his followers. This sparked the tenacity wherein the present conflict is being waged. conflict isn't the main suitable answer. I broke up a canines combat the different day, and that i've got a scar to show it. replaced into I disgusted for a 2nd? That the only way for 2 male canines to ensure dominance is to combat it out? definite. might I bite yet another male for attempting to touch my bone? No, i might beat the bricks off his commencing place. Peace is excellent. yet humanity won't be in a position to be preserved via status idly via and permitting harmless human beings to die. sturdy question.....careful in slandering a President., do it on the polls.

Answer 5

1) There is nothing even close to a question here.
2) While war is never a good answer, sometimes it is the only answer.

Answer 6

No one Really wants to go to war. Free people especially do not want to waste it's best and brightest in the terribleness that is war.

But, Rational men understand, there can be no Peace with out Strength. A strong man may stand alone, in defiance to all who would oppose him, but would be destroyed by the weakest of his enemies if he never raised his fist in defence. And yes that means that sometimes he must throw the first punch to stop an aggressive foe.

As a young man I was a pacifist. I would not even raise my voice to protect my intrest. It did not stop the bullies, from seeking my pain. It did not stop my enemies from finding willing dupes to play as their instruments of aggression. But I perservered, Hoping that they would tire from the daily abuse heaped upon me. But like a pack of dogs, my refusal to engage, didn't deter them, shame them, or stop them.

Then one day I had enough. While riding the bus, one of my tormentors spat in my face and smiled. As his saliva ran down my face, he looked me in the eye and assured me that he would one day murder me. At that moment I pushed my fist through his nose and crushed the bone beneath. He stood there shocked that I had done anything. The second blow sank deep in his stomach, and his breath left him in a terrible groan. As he fell to his knees, the third and final blow struck him on the back of his head taking the last of his conciousness from his mind.

As I stood looking around the stunned silence of my classmates rang deaf in my ears. I never had to deal with the abuses again.

War is a terrible, destructive thing. Perpetrated on the Young by the Old. Robert E. Lee said, " It is a good thing that war is so terrible lest we grow fond of it" One should try to resolve the problems in a rational and resonable way. But if reason is not to be had then we must always be ready to fight to protect, not only ourselves, but those to weak to protect themselves.

It is not a matter of Intellegence. It is a matter of reason. One side may be reasonable and the other barbaric, I assume your question is founded on the terrible cost of Iraq. One should remember that our enemies want Iraq to be their battleground. We didn't start the war against radical Islam. Nor would we engage them, if they were at all reasonable and understanding of our way of life. I am not a Muslim nor will I ever become one, But in that I do not want to take away their belief in that aspect of the One and True God. For such an intellegent asessment of life, they would take form me my life. And that they cannot have.

Answer 7

I think that if the leaders had to fight one another to the death and that was called "war", there wouldn't be so much war. It is a stupid, barbaric way to lay claim to the riches that others dwell upon. It puts me in the mind of children squabbling over a toy--"That's mine"--"No, it's mine!"
We try to teach our children that this is wrong, that they must share. When they are teens and have anger problems, we send them to "nonviolent resolution" classes. As adults, we send angry people to therapists or anger management classes.
But then we "declare war" (or not...), and send young men and women into the service where they learn that the "spirit of the bayonet is kill", and that they must shoot and maim and torture and kill other young people who are our "enemies"; we expect them to be violent! What insanity!!!!
I just read Scott Turow's "Ordinary Heroes"--about WWII--and it broke my heart--awesome book!!
Maybe someday, if we don't completely annihilate the species, a higher form of human will gain control, and we will be able to settle disputes peacefully...........but don't hold your breath....


edit: whoever gave me a "thumbs down": ignorant! Now, you wanna' fight? Or try to explain your reason of thinking my answer was bad?

Answer 8

War should always be a last resort. Diplomacy does work. Walk softly and carry a big stick. The softly is diplomacy and you know what the big stick is.

Answer 9

Man is an animal... I mean that literally. We didn't need to be so smart. All we need to do is survive and reproduce. But NO...

Answer 10

1. No, it means that one side can not do such, not both, which seems implyed

2. What defines humanity? Morals? Well, what are morals then?
