War..what is it good for?

Why do there have to be wars anyway, I would think if people could just learn to get along no matter who or what they are the whole world would be better off.

Long back I watched an Episode of Star Trek TOS where two planets fought wars over Computers (just as we play a war game). The damage caused was physically attended to by killing the number of people who perished in the game (or rather the Computer War Game). People of the two planets had matured enough to realize the actual damages done by a war were more hazardous and catastrophic - so they willingly stepped into the Gas Chambers. The two planets were all good with their theory... but as always, human intervention happened and the theories of Life and Love for life destroyed their ways. They never showed what happened after that intervention... and my belief is that the human intervention destroyed the two planets. I loved the idea though. Come to think of it. No destruction and major damages done and whatever be the result of the war, the Environment remains safe. The people who survive always have almost everything in abundance. I know they are not going to like me post this as a response to the discussion, but then, I have written what I realized is/was good for the Planet. However, my personal opinion is that there should be no war... and that is somewhere too much to think of.... in the present day and the days ahead scenario.

Auto purchases are so run of the mill now days. Cars aren't that big of a deal anymore.

Nice analogy. I like that. I agree. I think we should send Bush the bill for the last war and have his family pay it off with their own money. That sounds fair to me. Why should us tax payers pay the bill for their stupidity. I think in addition to this, we should all stop paying taxes. What, are they going to put everyone in jail? LOL.

sometimes there are factors, like my hubby is super tall, just under 7 feet, so we had to get a truck that cost more than I wanted so he could have a vehicle that actually fit him to be in most things he has to twist all up in. but I hate the payments

I am lost! I could not figure out how to connect war and buying a car, brand new or used! But war right now is the only option for the west and their allies . . because they are fighting the devil (ISIS) headed by a satan.

I just wished we could all live in harmony. Live and let live.

Why can'nt we all just get along and not be at war with each other all of the time.

What a clever analogy.

I wish that we didn't have war. Unfortunately they will go on until the end of times.

you wrote "cheaper model" but I read it as "cheaper Motel" and immediately thought of those "Make Love Not War" signs haha.

Absolutely nothing! It seems like the gut response to terrorism is to attack, but we can't kill them all. We waste a lot of money, kill a lot of innocent people, and make even more people want to kill us.
