End of Wars

Nov 16, 2004 09:22

It seems to me that governments and politicians never learn. I mean, all through history humans have killed humans in the name of religion, politics, and exploration. People settle disagreements by fighting, people try to prove that their religion is better than another because they can beat the shit out of people better. Wars are fought and won by ( Read more... )

We fight because we're HUMAN!!!! OMFG!!! I have read this journal and everything I come up against is all "hey! I'm going to pick fights with as many people as possible because I'm a bored college student that has no life and is unimportant ( ... )

Wow.. you made a reference to a very prominent theorist in the field of animal survival and called Hunter a child.. as if understanding the fundaments of Darwin's theories makes you more mature than him. What I find most pathetic about your feeble attempt to "retaliate" in this post is the hopelessly unintelligent over-generalizations you're using. Everything you've come up against is us picking fights with people? You imbecile. You're sitting here arguing that we fight because we're human and then bash us for picking fights (of the verbal variety) with people. You don't think before you type things, do you? That's okay, it doesn't seem like you're good at thinking, which is why nobody really paid attention to you until I, out of the goodness of my heart, decided to make fun of you just for the sake of giving you attention. I would like to point out that "The Giver" is a child's book, child. If you want to talk philosophies of war and survival, read some REAL books ( ... )

As a side note, I don't pick fights here. I present ideas. (picking fights is Sloth's job) Other people pick fights with me for my ideas. In this post I intended to present my ideas that war is a bad idea. If you read my later post, "religion and war, revisited," you would have realized that I changed my views slightly to say that war is sometimes inevitable, but I still think it a bad idea. Once again, I'm not picking fights, just stating my views. I'm doing the opposite of picking a fight, I'm presenting the idea of not picking fights. I don't sit here and try to bash other people or fight with people, I present my views for the world. I put myself out there, allowing the rest of the world the chance to attack me. I don't like that they'd attack me, but how else will my views be heard unless I speak them? It's people like you who pick the fights by insulting me and my ideas without really reading or considering what I have to say. Now, I don't mind people debating with me or presenting opposing viewpoints. This is constructive, it ( ... )

Well, as it turns out, that's just dandy. Because "sloth" over-there really thought he had things figured out for awhile, didn't ya' sloth? Every time you find "the newest thing" or something that makes MORE sense doesn't mean it makes the most sense. "He who is wisest among us knows he is not wise." And going off of the sociobiology tiff going on here, you will choose which ideas appeal to you most, so I can post nothing truly "constructive". Stop deluding yourself. You're not teaching anyone anything groundbreaking here. Everything you're saying comes from something or another and you cease to contain originality. I hope for your sake you never have to write for a doctorate. Yes, I attacked you. Yes, it was rude. Wake up, man. You're on the internet blogging what you call philosophy. I'm helping more than hurting (did I already type this? I think I did. Deja vu ( ... )
