I didn't make this up. I saw it on a nature show. Not that TV is gospel, but I was repeating this.

 

Well if you want something and you are stronger then you take it. It's a rather simple principle...

 

War can be between two people or 1 million people and animals as well.[n] an active struggle between competing entities Animals are constantly struggling and competing for food, mates or territory. So yes animals also go to war.

WAR
Definition: [n] a concerted campaign to end something that is injurious; "the war on poverty"; "the war against crime"
[n] the waging of armed conflict against an enemy; "thousands of people were killed in the war"
[n] an active struggle between competing entities; "a price war"; "a war of wits"; "diplomatic warfare"
[n] a legal state created by a declaration of war and ended by official declaration during which the international rules of war apply; "war was declared in November but actual fighting did not begin until the following spring"
[v] make or wage war

 

it's great that the terminology "war" has such an encompassing definition, but nonetheless, when the original poster posted his question, he had only one type of war in mind, basically the same type that most people think of when they hear the term "war", which is 2 or more nations or group engaging in physical combat via millitary, or other types of organized threat, usually as a result of political, religious, or economic conflicts.

 

Ever heard of Guernica? In 1937 Hitler decided to try out his new war machine. Almost a "trial run" for his Luftwaffe. It was the first time that a civilian population was used as a true military objective. The Condor Legion dropped enough bombs to kill half of Guernica, Spain's population. No strategic reason. Goehring used it just to measure how effective a mass bombing was. And so began modern war....

A good reference book is Sun Tzu's "The Art of War". I was given this book by my mgr as a rookie exec but it is more of human psych book that draws little difference between true war-battles and boardroom battles. I've heard wall-street types call it the "modern-day Jedi's bible".

 

True. But like every other thread. It goes from the original poster to something else.

 

someone voted NO..but no comments...very strange.

 

i really wanted to hear reasons from those who voted NO...because i dont see how they think otherwise but then again...
they voted but no with no reasons behind it so it would just be YES.

far as i'm concern it is still 100% YES

 

There will always be someone who tries to take with force what he cannot have otherwise. There will always be those who oppose such actions. Therefore, there will always be war, as such. It certainly is human nature, but it is nature, human and otherwise.

 

So you actually believe that some babies are born to be muderers?

There's no learned behavior...no nothing...just that's the way it is. Bullshit.

The environment creates the individual. Cartoons these days are nothing but fighting. Kids are taught at an early age what they're "supposed" to like and "supposed" to be like.

What about the Amish that don't grow up with phones, television, etc? When was that last Amish Civil War?
