Topic: We want (I want) PEACE !!! (Read 1934 times)

China will never have a 300 million army, precisely because it's impossible for a society to support armed forces of 25% of its population. That is 50% of its male population. They don't have that many males fit for military duty and they would need many of them for economic reasons to support the war. Of course, logistic problems would be a problem.

Peace is what a human search for true happiness. Arrogance and ego ("I" and "Mine") is the root for disturbance of peace

When Darwin stated "survival of the fittest", it was meant the one most able adapt to change. Change is what causes issues. Adjusting to change will lead to a more stable nation, rather than having the largest military.

For example, China has the largest conventional military by sheer solider count. However, at a time of war, when resources are very limited, how well will the country fair? Trying to feed 300 million soldiers at war? Good luck.

It depends on the kind of war. War usually creates inflation and insecurity on the value of fiat money. Unless it's a general war that can affect the Internet, a war might push the price of bitcoin up. But peace is more important than the value of bitcoin.

what does that really do or change though? i can't deny it.. i'm just a half glass empty. at the direction the world is going today, our species will have reached it critical mass. it's getting close to the time when more people start dying off than the ones that survive. once the world economies collapse, a lot of money is going to get lost.. and production of everything, especially food.

I Declare World Peace.

Join me. I do it everyday.

In many occasions, eliminating competition is inevitable for self preservation (No other way about it, unless you are content of what shit life throws at you….). And sadly, only our own species is capable of being that competition.

all of us really need a peaceful life. stop war and have peace.

Survival of the fittest is indeed natural, but nature lives on a permanent war: eat or be eaten. We built societies that follow human rules precisely to escape that situation.

We can't prevent war. We are only pawns.

peace is great and most of us want it.. but the truth is that you don't make money and gain power through peace, you do it with war. want natural resources? raise some false flags and invade a country. you can buy guns from your friends who make them.. every body wins, except the commonfolk.

If survival of the fittest is truly natural then I can say this:
War is a natural way of getting rid of competition in a communal/ tribal/ colonial/ empirical/ national/ global/ galaxial/ universal level.

War is a very complex subject, it's not only about money/ressources, it's also about power, insecurity or national pride.

That makes more sense.

 i misunderstood, sorry 

If theres no communication then theres no resolve. 

I can't even begin to understand how "North korea or china" make your point. Neither have open communication over the internet. Both have lots of government.

Ah, you we're being sarcastic... as those are obviously example of my point exactly. Sorry, I'm slow today.

not really,  have a look at North korea or china

Gandhi was lucky because he only faced the British Empire where civilization still available.

what will happen if Gandi faces Hitler or Stalin or chinese MAO?  

Banks = create wars = inflation = greed

Communication breeds peace. The internet will bring more peace than any government ever could.

Everybody wants peace, that's until they learn that the price of peace is steep

Nice topic. I really hope that people will be better in the future, and that money will be something from the past. I also hope that wars will stop, cause I do not see anything good in that. But first step is next: People need to evolve a lot, some more, some less

Yeah we wont have peace, as long we have greed going around.

The word eutopia is a illusion.

What everyone want is only peace

War is just used to divide and conquer us.  It's simple divide and conquer and people need to be able to call it what it is.

And if you do that, - I have nothing to object! Thank you.

You know - maybe you should think about it deeper.

My bad, I should add "ALMOST EVERY".

There's nothing to misunderstand about that statement.

Maybe the problem is that you did misunderstood.

Whatever. Anyway still most of wars were started because somebody want MORE.

MORE believers, MORE money, MORE gold, MORE oil, MORE something else, MORE land etc.  etc.

You can indeed have your opinion without being stupid, the problem is just that you stated is as if it was a fact.

The things war does to people is horrifying.  The things people have to do to survive and the effects on all those involved is no joke and plain evil if you ask me.

it is indeed..

poor ginger..

In your opinion.
I can have my own, and I do not need to be stupid to think that.

Religion is another reason to make a war indeed. Anyway.

Are you actually that stupid? You mean you can't attack other countries to gain political or religious advantages? Only a 12 year old would still believe war is only based on cash earnings after the famous "oil wars" that USA has been at for several years. Just because you got like 2-3 examples of it doesn't mean it's the basis for all conflicts.

Money and ressources are maily what drives war nowadays, but that's just simplifying, I believe what drives to war is the bad things that makes human, greed is one of them, but other like hartered, racism and what's not can start a war, and like I said a little bit earlier check how the muslims in Central africa (I'd say one word : Cannibalism), or Nayanmar (Burma) are being threated right now and that's just an example of many we are living right now

You need to be protected, as the war. But it's not a problem. This is not a war, a battle for control in the fight right to information about the number of direct control over the size of the Mayan people to fight .

Socialist in war, as monetary offertory may be less than oligarch. Summed up in many places, and you can begin to fight, low exaggeration to offer, but not for long, tough stretch, a small country.

Lincoln ignored the Constitution and religion, and the dictator fled with this to ignore it. Then go to the government in the hands of people like you and I are involved in a war that the government has a monopoly of military force, and then completely stopped, because it'd not what you want, and the war completely hands them out. We want to protect the other countries, and to fight with each other.

In all cases, in all cases, the government has less money to work with fewer resources, and government and military can do that for less money you can do, because they have fewer resources. And refer people to finance the fight, you get the point.

If subsidies. After the war, a war without the cost of all land is not suitable for the world. Who wants a war without war began?

War is never necessary, unless we're talking about defense.  But that's not the point; point is, whether or not war is necessary, the amount of war you have has a direct relationship with how much control governments have.  Socialist nations are the most war-like; less so, the oligarchical nations who can inflate their money supply; war gets really hard to start and prolong when you have a small republic (which is why in America, for example, Lincoln had to ignore the constitution and become as a dictator to get his way); and war stops completely once government no longer has a monopoly over the military force, which then gets left in the hands of individuals like you and me who don't want war to happen, but want to be defended if another nation goes to war with us.

Reason being, in every passing case, government has less wealth to work with for war, and can make less money from doing so.  When it gets to the point that individuals have to fund war, they can never pay for it individually as sociopaths encompass a few percentage points of the total population and empathetic individuals make up a huge proportion, which means war would not be profitable unless it were subsidized.  Since war is not profitable anymore without everyone to "pitch in", war does not occur.

ALMOST Every war is about money / resources

Why would anyone attack other country if they will not gain $$ from it?

War, war never changes. People are the same everywhere too. For the millennia they kill, steal, deceive,  lie and dream of better future. Nothing is gonna change, ever. That is the way people are.

War are created by governments for profit. Government coercion is the problem. Government is the problem.

it has nothing to do with money

sometimes war is necessary, mostly freedom can't be claimed by peace but only with arms 

Yeah you wish .... :-) mj is banned in so so so many countries that I am sure you were joking.

You're welcome.

The video didn't affect me as much because I know it's all acting, and I've seen some serious shit shared on facebook and liveleak about reality, and some videos will make you sleepless...... the shit happening right now in central Africa, Syria, Iraq....is .............. erghhh just remembering makes my head hurt.

we already have peace.  that's marijuana is legal everywhere now.   

I like Ice Cube song about greed..

money and power is the main reason why greed is existing people from goverment doesnt think about those small people that get affected i wish someday their family will experience this kind of situation
i feel pity for those little kids that die because of hunger or much worse die because of those deadly explotion i feel sad everytime i remember the video from syria the most horrible video that i've ever seen

Indeed it's brutal video , greed , power will keep on killing common people while the leaders and their kins will keep on be fooling the masses.

Greed is everywhere

And we can see everyday how so many people think only about their own interest.

Yes I do not say - our interest should be most important - as if we won't take care about ourselves how come we will be able to help other?

But.. I see people cold every day. I see they are looking at other with disgrace - because they are captured in the circle of paranoia.

I see only few around that I know are good people. I see people mistakes. I see my mistakes.
And I would be pleased if people will understand - why it is better to be kind, reliable and why is better to work than to scam and why WAR is such a shit!

to be honest, the only way there is gonna be peace is when only one king rules and we all know who that one king is. till that time, still gonna be greed, famine, hunger, sickness and war.  There is even greed in the bitcoin world since we dont have king there also.

disgusting. It is certainly sad to see the worst of ourselves

Yes indeed problem is human greedy nature.
Most of people want more for themselves than they  need to have.
Greed is killing our world.

Perhaps you are right ... but is that for sure?
Look, every country on planet earth has got loans on their back. How  stupid it is. If they all own some money then from whom it was borrowed? :-)  but this is just a though.  Why people are killing people? Why thief steals? Money or resources?
Perhaps both indeed..
Yes well you are right about those resources ...

 It's so sad that this type of stuff happens in this world.  You would think humanity, as a whole, would learn from history ,and would have stopped the madness long ago. But,unfortunately money,power and greed drives mankind and that's what lead to so much suffering.  The blame can't go to only one leadership, all governments are to blame. It's whats called, lost and corrupt people in power world wide. Some day soon this will all change.

Try to explain this beautiful thought to those d!kheads

The problem is that it's human nature. Whereas we've evolved technologically tons over the last couple thousand years, and especially the last decades, the real evolution is not able to catch up. This results in humans being stuck between technological advancement and primal instincts. We're not as advanced creatures as we might easily think, otherwise there'd be no killing. We, as a species, are simply not evolved enough yet.

The term is greed!! One of the seven deadly sins. It's not enough to have a little got to have it all.

That is very true.  Even the "wining side" is always full of casualties.

Well world is crazy.

Btw this video from my 1st post here is getting really popular.

As I saw a girl in a bus watching it on her smartphone.
Few of my friends post it @fb.

It could be more popular than WreckingBall very soon.

And good. Maybe some of us will open eyes and see what world we are living.

Regards!

Lol about them westerners crying about war when everything is cool and fine in Europe.
Meanwhile in Syria..
(BTW war happens,deal with it.)

Who cares about glory, I want to live. I can have a war for fun, playing computer games or ASG, If you want glory, learn to heal people, it doesn't take a genious to push the button, or squeeze the trigger.

don't be afraid.  these people with bombs and bullets have brains too, and know what they're shooting.

remember the song:  "and the rockets red glare".  wars are glorious !

Unfortunately you can't just forget about war. If your country at war - it concerns you very much since there are bombs and bullets all around you.

don't worry about wars?  let the retards battle each other out while you go on holy quests with mushrooms from SR 2.0

In a war there are no winers or losers, everybody loses.

brutal man i feel sad about it and yes we all want peace !!!

Indeed a brutal video. And you're right about the money - it's ruling the world, the peace and the war and it's really *put a word for cause I didn't come up with anything describing this*. Fuck this shit.

Who's the girl in video , is she's actor of the real girl got affected by the war.? 1second everyday and it said so much..
I'M From India a only few understands what Gandhi really stood for. In one word if i have to say it is/was " PEACE " .    

This video at 8:20AM broke my heart.

Damn man...

It's worthless typing a page about why do I think war sucks.
But just imagine to be in the same pair of shoes with her and try to grow up your kids as a friendly people. One day maybe - world on planet earth will understand. That peace is a gift from Gods or from whom but anyway a gift - because what is most important for you? Freedom and peace? Most of you? Perhaps.

Can't we just live together without killing anyone around?

Ok. There are differences, different religions, cultures.
And perhaps for some tribes death and killing means something else.

But problem is they do not spread it worldwide.

But yes yes I know.
I really do know why "war" will never ends.
I know.
Money.
