Folks,

War is ONLY possible with the existence of LARGE number of STUPID and IGNORANCE people. Without that, the worst that can happen is small scale gangster warfare.

i find that statement true. moreover, war exists because of differences and greed in human. there is always insecurity among us even in our daily life. on a small scale, even sibling rivalry which cause negative result either jealousy, insecurity, spitefulness and others.

however, i dont think that we can solve this inferior complex desire of US HUMAN as it is built into us by our creator. maybe there will be a weapon SO POWERFUL, it removes the urge to be better than other people. then, maybe we will stop pointing weapon at each others.

with great power comes great responsibility, however human heart is insatiable whistling.gif

jcmf,

WAR is highly ORGANIZED and REQUIRED extreme amount of LOGISTIC. It can ONLY happen with LARGE SCALE of STUPIDITY with SUPPORT from large number of people.

Petty things like sibling rivalry can only result damage to a small number of people.

So, DO NOT COMPARE those things with WAR. They are TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

Deadlocks,

WAR is a HIGHLY ORGANIZED affair involving LARGE NUMBER of people. It can ONLY happen with the support of LARGE NUMBER of people. Only if LARGE NUMBER of PEOPLE are STUPID and IGNORANCE, they can be ORGANIZED into waging WAR. Anything less than that, you cannot have LARGE SCALE WAR. It is just a small scale skirmishes.

Gangster are NOT capable of waging full scale war. Only a country with the support of LARGE NUMBER of STUPID and IGNORANCE PEOPLE can do that.

So, STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE in a LARGE SCALE is the cause of WAR. As to whether people use sword, rock, arrows, guns to fight, it is IRRELEVANT.

Let me rephrase my question.

How do you justify your perception of this STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE that you see?
*
Deadlocks,

Let me throw the question back to YOU.

Is WAR justifiable??

If not, isn't it STUPID and IGNORANCE for LARGE NUMBER of PEOPLE to waste their lives and resource on this effort?? The RULING CLASS has something to gain. But, how do the PEASANTS get of this?? Nothing...

Read chapter 1 of "Art of War" by Sun Tzu

You're asking the wrong question.

You don't ask: "Is WAR justifiable?"

You ask: "How does one CHOOSES war, as a CHOICE, and a RESOLUTION, whether or not his personal justifications are VALID or NOT, and whether he foresees the consequences as GOOD or BAD?"

How dreamer101?

How does one even afford to think of such a CHOICE in life?

You spend extensive time in psycho therapy don't you? You should know better about the human psyche, I presume.

Deadlocks,

People do not CHOOSE WAR. The ruler choose it for them. Then, they use PROPAGANDA to CON them into supporting IT. So, STUPID and IGNORANCE people get CONNED into supporting the WAR. Then, WAR is possible.

Have you EVER really study history of WARS to begin with?? Stop buying into those PROPAGANDA BS that people choose WAR.

So, it was not a PERSONAL choice. A person cannot WAGE WAR. It takes a COUNTRY.

Note the two bolded statements. Contradictory much? How is a ruler's choice, isn't a personal choice? Isn't that, the ruler's personal choice?

Was Hitler's decision to go to war not a PERSONAL CHOICE?

Was Abraham Lincoln's decision to FIGHT in the WAR, not a PERSONAL CHOICE?

Do you know why a phenomenon such as WAR, MUST EXIST? The phenomenon that condones violence?

Deadlocks,

<<Was Hitler's decision to go to war not a PERSONAL CHOICE?>>

If MAJORITY of German people do not support Hitler, is WAR possible??

<<Was Abraham Lincoln's decision to FIGHT in the WAR, not a PERSONAL CHOICE?>>

Ditto, if MAJORITY of the North in USA do not support Abraham Lincoln, is WAR possible??

Isn't this BASIC common sense?? WAR is NOT possible without the support of LARGE number of people.

<<Do you know why a phenomenon such as WAR, MUST EXIST[cool.gif[size=9]? >>

Who say so?? WAR is ORGANIZED Violence. It is ONLY possible with the ORGANIZATION and SUPPORT of large number of people. Only with the existence of country aka nation state, WAR is possible. In the old day, the largest conflist is ONLY between one tribe / village versus another.

But where does such a choice comes from in the first place?
Did you read what my questions properly? I asked: "How does one bring about the choice of starting, or fighting a war, in his/her psyche?"

You can keep on saying how people are influenced by propaganda and hence supported the decision of war-mongers.

But what really is going on in the minds of war-mongers that lead to choose such an option that condones violence?

That is the question.
And do you understand why ORGANIZED VIOLENCE is needed? Do you understand why words of logic, common sense, and fact, sometimes DO NOT WORK?
*
Deadlocks,

<<And do you understand why ORGANIZED VIOLENCE is needed?>>

Organized Violence is NOT needed.

Human may have violence tendency. But, in order for ORGANIZED VIOLENCE such as WAR to happen, it needs

A) The ORGANIZER

B) People willing to be ORGANIZED

Without (A) and (B), it cannot happen.

And, for (B), the PEASANT aka FOOLS, they GAINED NOTHING from WAR. They lose their lives and much munch more. So, it is KIND to call them STUPID and IGNORANCE.

Stupid is Stupid does.

It is VERY SIMPLE. If you want to stop WAR, we need to get rid of the mind set that WAR is necessary and needed. Now, if you do not want to stop WAR, what is there to discuss?? People can blame rock, stone, arrows, and guns for killing people in the WAR.

Read "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu has a very impartial and honest view of what war is. It is JUST a political tool by the ruler.

Yes, it is a political tool, war is something that needs support from the your UNJUSTIFIED stupidity and ignorance, and no, I'm not trying to stop war, neither am I trying to support one.

What I am really trying to make you understand is why an individual or a.k.a. the organizer/the war-starter can SURPASS his/her own CONSCIENCE and make strong RESOLVES to NOT CARE about the casualties of war, and decided to start one anyway.

It is to understand why individuals choose/react/resort to violence.

That is my question.

I understand perfectly well about that. It is VERY SIMPLE. Some people are BUSYBODY. They like to have the POWER to interfere with other people's life. So, when they have the POWER, they do it. They THINK and BELIEVE that they SHOULD tell people how to live their lives. And, if people disagree, they deserve to die.

Those people always existed. They could only do the greatest EVIL if others do not stand up to them.

Some BUDYBODIES justify their action by the basis of RACE, RELIGION and so on. But, the TRUTH is they like the power. It has NOTHING to do with RACE, RELIGION and so on. But, the masses are STUPID and IGNORANCE to buy into that.

Knowing that they BELIEVE in such things, haven't it occurred to you that WAR never changes, and never ends? It does not exists from THIN AIR.

IT EXISTS FROM HUMAN WEAKNESS, i.e. the lust for power.

And HUMAN WEAKNESS is not something you can stop.

Deadlocks,

I TIRED of repeating myself over and over again. If the MASSES do not support those busybodies, WAR cannot happen. It is as simple as that. Why can't you understand that??

WAR only allow provide POWER to the ruler and no one else. The MASSES have nothing to gain.

You're the one who went out of track here. You kept explaining how war is POSSIBLE with people supporting them when I was only, specifically asking you:

"What makes a man to start war?", NOT "How does war happen?" (hence answers provided by you that it needed the support of the people)

And that's how I questioned your initial justifications of when you stated that these war-starters are stupid, and ignorant.

You DO NOT READ very well. I said (B) are STUPID and IGNORANT. I did not say (A).
