Thoughts About The Futility Of War

Post by Atheist-Lite » Thu May 05, 2011 5:45 am

With the last soldier from WW1 dying today I thought this would make a interesting topic and if it's still going come armistice day maybe it'll be getting somewhere? or not? :crumple:

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. ~ Marx

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to. ~ Oscar Wilde

Instead of war, why don't they just play paper, rock, scissors. Same result at the end.

Just put the generals and suits in a cage and let them fight it out? But some you just can't reach and their the ones in charge. :crumple:

War is a great reason to run like a bunny. :tup: Anybody who willingly stays in a war zone is nuts.

That's why I did 2.33 tours.
