Why do some people believe war is never right or necessary?

Question

We are animals, and every animal fights. It's the hippies of the animal kingdom that fall victim to Darwin. What would be a hippy's solution to someone beating the crap out of them? What would be the hippy solution for a group of people killing and plundering your homes and taking your land?

Can the hippies die already and stop propagating through indoctrination? Why don't they get that even a world of law and order is a struggle to survive?

Some of you assume in a utopian like fashion that if we become pacifists everyone will.

Let's role play, your the pacifist, im the person killing you (your school of thought can't be imposed on me), what now?

Lots of straw men being set up there. Try answering the question. The pacifist ideology goes beyond Iraq, and the US to apply to all wars. Try answering the question without irrelevent BS. Do not assume who or what I support, because you are wrong. Also some of you are very hypocritical in your tirades about freedom and hatred of others' freedom to speak... freely.

Answer 1

They think that pacifism makes them morally superior to us Neanderthals who think that fighting bad guys is a good idea. I think that they are at best delusional & probably hypocritical, as they enjoy the freedoms protected by those who do fight. Obviously, they have never read ther Bible, where, among other things, it says "There's a time for war & a time for peace". The hard part of course, is knowing which it is.

Answer 2

propagating through indoctrination?
Like the brainwashing session called Basic Training?
Meaningless slogans like "My Country right or wrong" Love it or leave it.

What wars have been fought for America the people?
The one in Iraq, that Bush has consistently lied to the american people as to his real reasons for invading a country which never attacked us?

The contempt you feel for anybody who dares disagree with you is obvious. The threats are more implicit, why not come right out and threaten somebody straight up?

Which government, other than the US government, has plundered American homes or gone about in America killing Americans?

If the basis of Law and Order is, as claimed in the legal underpinnings of the US, that no one NO ONE is above the law, why do Bush and his henchmen have to break the law in order to protect the law?

Why is it considered acceptable for people like Rush Limbaugh and G Gordon Liddy and the other self anointed spokes-freaks for the right wing lunatic fringe to make Anti-American Terroristic threats like saying they will assault Americans, imprison Americans, even KILL Americans who disagree with them?

That is clearly terrorism, clearly illegal. Clearly anti-American.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, a state of war had already existed between the US and Japan for nearly a decade. There were American mercenaries fighting in China against the Japanese, like the Flying Tigers.
These mercenary groups, however little different from the Japanese soldiers in China, were paid for through "aid" grants from the United States government.

So the theory that the Japanese attacked US territory completely unprovoked is false. Also it leaves out the fact that Hawaii was only made a US territory after the US Navy had bombarded Pearl Harbor, invaded Hawaii, deposed the government of Hawaii which was recognized by Britain, France, Austria, Japan, Russia, a host of other countries AND recognized by the US government.

If there was a provocation for war with the Axis, a far better one would have been the German sinking American ships in international waters, repeatedly and often. And the sinking of the merchant vessel Ruben James in American waters.
How is that for indoctrination?

And who are these "hippies" indoctrinating? Do they have hippie boot camps where the hippie recruits are made to chant mantras?

Have you ever, personally, with your own eyes, seen anybody forced to smoke pot?

Why don't you get the concept of law and order doesn't mean "we give the orders, so we are the law"?

Answer 3

I'd first like to point out that some of the most militant organizations (or "domestic terrorist groups") could easily be classified as 'hippies'. Included in this list might be the Earth Liberation Front, the Animal Liberation Front, the Black Panthers, the SDS and Weather Underground Organization.

Many 'hippy' colonies in Canada were populated by American draft-dodgers, who were notable for their willingness to protect their freedom with firearms. In short, your use of the term 'hippies' is grossly misinformed.

The keyword you want is 'PACIFIST'.

As for your original question: Many people believe that when God said 'Thou Shalt Not Kill', he meant it.

Quakers, a puritan Protestant sect, are particularily famous for their willingness to risk their lives in order to disrupt war machines. Quakers are not alone in their activist conviction against violence (against other people), and opposition to war is actually quite common among judeo-christian religious fundamentalists. Non-violence is also a component of eastern religious traditions.

Answer 4

just to have an yet another best pal interior the middle east., freedom to many Muslims that during no way knew what freedom grew to become into. The lists of violations the United countries had on unhappy am Hussein in direction of his human beings and different international places. not greater rape rooms? WMD some being discovered a minimum of yet so few of them discovered ole Saddam ought to have shipped them to Syria in the previous we've been given there.????? ordinarily the conflict on terror. God Bless u . s . of america

Answer 5

You are absolutely right.

Who wants to hear all that drivel coming from the likes of Jesus and Ghandi?

Why are the quotes from the Bible seldom the words attributed to Christ, but instead the words of mere mortals that wrote the books?

Every carnivore hunts, most animals do not fight. Of those that fight, most will not fight to the death.

It was not our ability to kill each other better that has allowed our evolution to progress to where we are now.

It was our ability to THINK and reason.

Once we can get everyone to try that on a regular basis, wars will become unnecessary.

I wish you the best of luck, when you start your journey.


BRING ALL OF OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!

Answer 6

the privilaged few always make it bad for the rest of us, the funny thing is most them don't know they are the ultimate losers in the quest for utopian dreams. they allow themselves to be used by hate instead fighting against it. we all have dreams, they just don't get that the dream ends once you wake up.
