:confused:Why is this world so obsessed with war? :confused: Every country on earth (except maybe canada) is involved in some kind of war. And you can't even wage war on this game.

Meh. Peace is boring. :)

Canada's fighting in Afghanistan right now...

We have yet to evolve socially beyond the need to exert dominance over one another.

The Old Testament is quite violent. I'm sure it would have God's personal seal approval all over it. He was one nasty SOB. I mean, all that fire and brimstone.

Many countries are not engaged in war, most of europe for example.

Ireland isn't at war with anyone, though we are complicit with the CIA "torture flights" and we're involved in some peace keeping missions.

War is easier and simpler then diplomacy.

And more fun too!

Many countries are not engaged in war, most of europe for example.
Actually, pretty much all of Europe is in Afghanistan, a few are in Iraq and Lebanon and some others have independent troop deployments like France in Africa.

Many countries are not engaged in war, most of europe for example.

Well, if you want to get technical, almost every European country has currently peace keeping troups fighting either in Iraq or in Afghanistan, some both.

The easiest way to take something you want is through violence.

If you read the bible all the way through you'll notice that, there's alot of friggin violence. It's all about this kind of stuff. How about David and Galiouth, theres Lucifer, St. Michael, all of the apostles have done at aleast one thing wrong, then theres Good Friday. God has alot to do with war.

EDIT: SHIT! someone already said this. :headbang:

But thats not really the same as being at war with another country.
Then the US isn't at war either.

But thats not really the same as being at war with another country.

That's a matter of definition. If a government sends troops to fight in a foreign country, it's commonly referred to as war. I know that the legal definition can differ from that, but the essential act is the same.

I particularly like the bits where god orders genocide and rape, but explicitly tells the Isrealite to make sure to keep all the copper they find for themselves... :D

And more fun too!

Yeah I'd guess that the guy sitting in the big chair in the countries of the world would get an erection after ordering their army into action.

"I particularly like the bits where god orders genocide and rape, but explicitly tells the Isrealite to make sure to keep all the copper they find for themselves...:D"

Ah... the Old Testiment, there is no novel in the world that beats it :D

Every country on earth (except maybe canada) is involved in some kind of war.

Canadians have fought with distinction in practically every war the British Empire has been involved in. They fought off two invasions of their country from the United States, they fought in many colonial wars, they fought in WWI, they fought in WWII and played a critical role in the Allied D-Day invasion, and in contemporary times they take part in various world peacekeeping activities.

A small volunteer force set up by Luxembourg's government-in-exile at London participated in Normandy landings.

Look at this way, war is a necessity.....population control.

Canada has troops in Afghanistan, so they are involved in a war. There are in fact a great deal of countries that are NOT involved in wars, like Sweden (last I checked at least), Switzerland, etc.

A small volunteer force set up by Luxembourg's government-in-exile at London participated in Normandy landings.

The OP said "is involved in war", that is present tense. We just had the 63rd anniversary for D-Day, so I think that is past...

Because war kicks ass, smilie-boy.

Allah also approves of it, especially when it is waged against corrupt Western powers who steal His followers' natural resources and sell them at ridiculous prices to their own struggling middle-class.

And speaking of pine trees, those peace-loving hippie Canadians had better start looking over their shoulder; after all, there may come a time when timber is scarce enough to go to war over.

Might want to re-check that list, has some errors.1 error.

El Salvador is an error.

I only stated one error, that does not mean it is the only one.

Not that having 380 soldiers sent in -to satisfy Bush- would mean the Country is at war (other than technically)
note that the 380 -token soldiers- are under Polish Command.. and I already have a "Forget Poland" mentality :D

More Salvadorans die -any given sunday- from salvatrucha gang violence -in any US big city-.. than they can die in Iraq

The OP said "is involved in war", that is present tense. We just had the 63rd anniversary for D-Day, so I think that is past...

Luxembourg, and every country on Earth, is currently at "war":

"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
~ George W. Bush, Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People, September 20, 2001.

:D

then: show me the money !! (feel free to point out another country at War from the list)

Considering that the OP is accepting for the purposes of this thread "peacekeeping operations" such as just about all of those around the world as "being at war", the list goes on...

Argentine, El Salvador, Honduras, and Uruguay have troops in Western Sahara.

Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay have troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Uruguay have over 1500).

Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay have troops in Sudan.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Peru have troops in Haiti.

Some more useless trivia.

During the Persian Gulf War, it more dangerous, statistically speaking, to be a male between 18-24 back in the US then in Kuwiat/Iraq.

Doesn't that make war euthanasia? :eek:

People go to war for many reasons:
Resources (land labour resources etc)
Moral (the other people are evil, ethnically similar people in their country are oppressed/want independence etc)
Religious (they are heathens etc)
If they are stronger than the other people then war is a viable alternative and it makes sense to go to war because negotiation takes time and never works as well as a successful war because both sides need to agree with negotiation and only one side needs to agree after (or during) a successful war.
Of course, after the war then the victors can say anything they like about the people they conquered such as the Roman accounts of the Carthaginians.

God was a dushbag for a great portion of the bible

How the hell can God be a dushbag, he hasn't done anything to you

Wars are good when you country wins. Therefore, for me as a Briton war is a good thing, and has been since the American war of independence.

Pfft, we beat you in the War of 1812 too you know.

The Vatican, which is the smallest country in the world, is currently not at war with anyone. Seriously, it's its own country, look it up.

You're not actually arguing that WWI or WWII were good for Britain, are you?

You know, people complain about the French and British reaction to Hitler's belligerence, but fact of the matter is that WWI was a phyrric victory at best. If substantial percentages of certain age groups are either dead or crippled, that doesn't do much good for the future. I can understand that they were sorta hesitant to get back into the whole thing yet again.

And WWII just relegated Britain from world power to appendix (more or less ;) ).

This post wins the thread. All other posters can die :mp5:

I thought Canada was involved in Iraq at some point...

I believe that was during Operation Desert Storm in '91 following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, and that was a UN-Sanctioned mission.

ok, so let me get this straight.

This guy is obviously a troll/puppet/whatever.

You can only call someone a Douche-bag if they do something to you? When was that rule introduced?

How the hell is God a duche! Calling someone a duche for no reason is like going to my grandma's house a calling her a douche-bag. And war is so common because more and more people are becoming obsessed with it, more countries are being ran by uptight war crazy assholes, cough America cough, and now when you find something wrong with a nation you declare war on it. It's simple, the world is fucked up.

The world is a great, big, giant, fucked up oxi moron. There is no such thing as a peace keeping mission because you have to go through war get it, not one nation in the world is peaceful, yet some say they are. And noone calls war a war anymore. They call it a peace keeping mission, or a military action, or aiding, or a dispute, or an international incedent. So if you look at it closely, there is no war, only a bunch of soldiers killing other soldiers. And the reason there is so much because all of the good hippies are dead, old, or high. What war really is, is a dispute between nation leaders. The countries leaders, have the children of their nation go off to war because the president doesn't like something about a nation. We could have solved every war by putting the two nation leaders in a arena to fight to the death.:D:p

How the hell is God a duche! Calling someone a duche for no reason is like going to my grandma's house a calling her a douche-bag.

If your grandma had done something particularly worthy of the title Douche then yes I could go up to her house and call her that. The Christian God did things (according to the Bible) which I feel are worthy of the title (if not much much more)

The world is a great, big, giant, fucked up oxi moron. There is no such thing as a peace keeping mission because ...

And noone calls war a war anymore. They call it a peace keeping mission, or a military action, or aiding, or a dispute, or an international incedent. So if you look at it closely, there is no war, only a bunch of soldiers killing other soldiers. Of course you are right..

Some military operations are disguised as "peacekeeping"
In principle a peacekeeping operation should Never be designed to change/ or impose a new situation.

The 3 keys of true peace-keeping are:

#1 Both sides have agreed to a cease fire
#2 Both sides (apparently) want peace and
#3 Both sides agree to the Peace keepers being deployed

That is absolutely not the case of Afghanistan.

The countries leaders, have the (poor) children of their nation go off to war because the president doesn't like something about a nation. We could have solved every war by putting the two nation leaders in a arena to fight to the death.I agree 100%

If you write in the constitution "the Children of Gov (3 branches) must be drafted (in the same % as the recruited low income families) for every War".. we would have much less stupid wars.

War is easier and simpler then diplomacy.

Yes it is easier... but the path of bloodshed always is... not even christians these days seem to care that people they love go out and die in these power struggles :( some would say its time for Revelations to start that we are at war because it is Gods plan... some would say its mans fault... thats a true statement in itself. but Diplomacy requires compromise, communication, and hours of hitting your head against a wall because people have diffrent ways of handling things :headbang: in our world the reason war is so much easier is because we are greedy, lustful, power hungry, sometimes racist, sexist, our culture or religion is diffrent ... honestly i don't care if you worship Shiva or satan himself the deities tell us that these are wrong even satan says its wrong to do.... in excess... so quiet honestly this war is nothing more then men being foolish and men

1st Comment: Of course they did. You were ACTUALLY under the impression we WON the War of 1812 (unless you're speaking of one of the Napoleonic wars which occurred in 1812)!?!?!? The British beat the living crap out of us in that war. The only really big big victory was after the war was over, which is General Jackson's victory.

2nd Comment: Is there anything necessarily wrong with this? Don't you think it's better to have them then to NOT have them? Nuclear weapons are always the #1 deterrent to nuclear war.

3rd Comment: If you didn't notice, this isn't the United Nations building. It's a game. War in games is, as it turns out, fun. I have no idea why you WOULDN'T enjoy war in games.

Yet that will never happen because they have to pass it. And I don't think they will.

Canada is participating in the Afghanistan War. Even if most Canadians do not want any part of that War.

That war is not blue helmets stuff.. its not "Peacekeeping"

The war in Afghanistan is a NATO run peacekeeping operation. You only wear blue helmets if you are on a UN run peacekeeping operation. The lack of blue helmets doesn't make it not peacekeeping.

There are many other examples. The forces in Darfur aren't wearing blue helmets either. That is an African Union run peacekeeping operation. The forces that first went into Kosovo didn't wear blue helmets, that was initially a NATO run operation.

Where are you getting that list? It is bunk. The operations in Somalia, Bosnia, etc. were all called "peacekeeping", and they don't meet your list at all.

That's because it was a war! No a friggin peace keeping run!

Canada is involved in Afghanistan.

It also bombed another nation without getting UN approval in advance (Kosovo).

The history of humanity is largely a history of war. Did you go to school?

Considering that the OP is accepting for the purposes of this thread "peacekeeping operations" such as just about all of those around the world as "being at war", the list goes on...

Argentine, El Salvador, Honduras, and Uruguay have troops in Western Sahara.

Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay have troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Uruguay have over 1500).

Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay have troops in Sudan.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Peru have troops in Haiti.you could argue they are not Peace-keeping.. but

#1 You saying "Bolivia is at war in Congo" is not accurate either.. and likewise for your other examples.

#2 If you tell me that to be considered "at war" you need to have 20 operatives in another country. It means The US is waging several wars all over the World.

To be able make up my mind (numbers and context).. I would like you to show us your links. about the 4 operations.

not some colony of britain.

2 You do have a point there. :eek:


3 well then people need to learn were the line lies between reality and games!!!!
If they spend all day playing video games and killing people, they're gonna like it. But then when they have to grow up they'll think tht war is just a silly game.:headbang: War in the real world is BAD!!!! It needs to end, if war would just end then maybe poorer countries could start focussing their powers on building an actuall economy. Then people would be able to play war videogames more, instead of haveing to grow up!!!

What you don't understand is that sometimes war can help an economy. The United States as an example: We were in a crap hole before WW2, and afterwards, we were in a boom.

Do you even know what the idea for the War of 1812 was? We declared war on them because of several incidents, including the seizure of our ships and sailors. Our capital was sacked. Our army was majorly defeated. Our forts were basically under siege. But we fixed it diplomatically with the Treaty of Ghent. This treaty made things as they were before the war. It wasn't a colonial war.

Don't forget we burned down the Canadian capital too :D (actually, that is why they burned Washington, in revenge for our burning their capital).

However, countries that make a habit of going about and disrupting the world aren't likely to be liked by investors—who like stability, forecastability, tranquillity, growth-ity, itty, bitty. . . (sorry, Family Guy moment)—and will probably suffer from a relapse in their economies. In NS, where there are lots of countries with options for big returns, this is even more poignant, because you can basically re-invest in a new country with a strong economy with no real change, but in the real world, there are few options, and that's the only reason investors will still go to the US even if this war thing becomes a big pattern in the years to come.

This thread is made of fail.

War, never been so much fuuuun,
War, never been so much fun,
Go up to your brother,
Kill him with your gun,
Leave him lying in his uniform,
Dying in the sun!

WAR!
