Cutting down on war is not the best way to 'save' people. Some people like Hitler deserved to be humiliated, and at that time, the best way to do it was war. Teaching him Christian ethics wouldn't have done anything very nice.
Yes surely Hitler wouldn't have listened to anything and he sure as hell had to be taken away from his throne. I can't really imagine any alternative way to that either than war seeing how he brought it to the whole Europe without them wanting it... I can't really see an alternative for preventing him from annexing the whole world under his tyrannical rule except war either I give you that... yet you seem to forget the whole chain of events that got him into power in the first place... if there wasn't for war he would've never got in the power in the first place... and there 45 million people wouldn't have had to die just to get one madman out of power... war only provokes more war... very nice solution indeed.
Very significant. I just can't describe aptly in words. As I've said, the best thing about wars and military was the 'drive' that it gave to humans to achieve supremacy. Advancement in rockets, sensors, communications, aviation, navigation, aeronautics, hydraulics, electronics, computers, etc. etc. etc. etc. there are so many things I can mention that I can definitely say will NOT have advanced as much if the world was in a peaceful setting. The problem is that you still won't likely believe me.
And what makes you think we would have all of those even if the star wars project had continued? We cannot advance that much in 100% peaceful world yes, but the difference is not THAT significant... lets see... world war 2 brought us the start of radar technlogy, rocket technology, turbojet airplanes and more knowledge of nuclear technology... of wich of all we would've got without the war with just a few years delay I bet... most of their research was already underway anyway.
Most people who serve the government through the military is by 'choice'.
And that is exactly why I hate and despise them so. They had the choise to
avoid it.
We have the Geneva Conventions for protecting human rights in times of war. In most cases, Geneva Conventions are adhered to by officially recognized military organizations, and that's all that matters because basically they are the only ones who have the right to bear arms.
Funny though isn't killing another human being the worst violation of human rights?
Perfect justification: We were designed and born to do what is most beneficial to us at the expense of others. It's what our genes are made for.
This is true from most of its part. Nobody
designed humans though my friend, but we are born to do whatever is most benefical to ourselves no matter the cost. However that is just what we do uncosciously. Consciously we may do however unselflish deeds we want... we don't necessarily consciously think about our own good when we do that, but uncosciously yes. Nobody would for example donate to charity unless it would make them feel somewhat good... or I wouldn't rant about whats wrong with this world unless I would hate to see people suffer... so yes in the end there are no unselflish deeds, but lets not at least be "consciously selflish" all that much shall we not?
They don't. They do it because they chose to.
Yes... chose to obey the government who told them to kill... what would they do that unless anybody would declare war?
Someone has to do it, because people like you won't.
Who said it needs to be done in the first place?
people like Hussein and Osama Bin Laden's cronies deserve to get their ass kicked, and the coalition forces did the job for you.
Please tell me why people like George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Dmitri Medvedev or Hu Jintao are any better than they are? They are all just mass murderers none better than the other.
Dunno, wouldn't you kill Kim Jong-Il yourself if you knew that doing such will not create bad side-effects, and instead benefit your family or yourself?.
I would inprison him instead.
and if you don't kill even if it is required of you to do so, then some other religion taught you things that aren't good for you. Humans are meant to kill if it's necessary.
I wonder since when have humanism and sense of morality been classified as religions... I certainly missed that... and by the way humans are pack animals... so no we are not really meant to kill each other...
Okay. I'm not going to try to dissuade from your religious beliefs anymore lol...
I think you have mistaken something... I am not religious person at all.
Reap: do you believe in world peace too? Hippies....
No I do not believe in world peace... not in the current world anyway. That could be acchieved, but the process would be slow... and nobody is willing to start it unfortunately.
