Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
What do you think about this?

Guns N' Roses made that. Please answer the question. It's not about poetry.

You can't trust the freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fighting
For their promised land

Pretty good actually. I am assuming that you wrote this. If you did it is pretty good.

20031991,
Few will disagree that war is an awful thing. But it becomes necessary at times when all other options have failed. Like the saying goes:
War Has Never Solved Anything (except for ending slavery, fascism, nazism & communism).

Nothing. It seems to be in human nature to declare wars over material stuff and idealogies. Animals fight for food and territories. Humans do it in an evil and analytical way and not merely for survival. What could possibly be civil about that?

In war
Someone hates u. Both of u are gonna die sooner or later
Someone dies. He's gonna die sooner or later anyways
Someone lied to you. We're all gonna die somedays
Someone feared you. It doesn't mean that if you're not feared you get longevity.
People feel pain. No pain, no gain
People feel anger. Anger generates andreline and motivation
People feel sad. Without negative feelings how do we know positive feelings are good?
People want revenge. Human race gets stronger
Get my point?

Nothing. What's civil about bears, wolves, mountain lions or the rest of the predator's on this planet?
Peace is an illusion, that's the way it is, deal with it.

"Civil" just means an internal struggle. Sometimes
words DO have more than one meaning. No one is
trying to 'sanitize' anything.
No thinking person wants war. But it is,sometimes,sadly,
inevitable.

There is nothing "civil" about war. That is just a term that is used to sanitize the violence, hate, and destruction that accompany war.

If the alternative to putting our men in the mud is dropping a nuclear bomb, then couldn't war, indeed, be considered "civil"?
How about if the alternative to war is letting injustice or "evil" prevail? Is it "civil" then?

It's just an expression. It means that people are fighting within their own country, instead of multiple separate countries battling.

war is not civil
War is about weilding death to secure peace ..even if "peace" only lets the next generation survive long enough to start a new war... not ideal.. human diversity has many benefits but has never culled the miswired human element/segment that CHOOSES to kill innocents simply to control them or their resources.....power and greed rather than coexistence and tolerance to differences...
