[El Cid]

I like my sig's quote

[Yeddi]

yeah, and i like the fact that fish only costs a couple of dollars, but whats that got to do with the pr.... ohh yeah.

I do like that quote, do u know who said it? Or is it one of those fantasmagorical things that just appeared.

[Generalissimo Talonius]

I think your quote is rather innaccurate. What about the Spartans ? Or the Nordic TRibes of Europe ? Or the Mongolian hordes of yore ? Were they not "war-like people" ?

Yeddi, that is awesome.

Talonius, you ever heard of Rousseau's most famous quote ``Man is born good, only society corrupts him``.

The mongolian tribe raised their kids to be warriors and fighters. they were trained to dring blood when water runned out. Humans are like dogs, they'll be what you train them to be. Slaves, warriors, servants, capitalists, communists, fascists or just dumb. They are no war-like people, only the leader who make them believe they are.

[Generalissimo Talonius]

I believe that society doesnt create people, but is a mere reflection of individuals. Violent individuals create a violent society. Society isn't this evil force you make it out to be ; society is the individual, nothing more.

[CasX]

That is a very cool quote.

[El Cid]

I think your quote is rather innaccurate. What about the Spartans ? Or the Nordic TRibes of Europe ? Or the Mongolian hordes of yore ? Were they not "war-like people" ?

They were made to be war-like by non other than their leaders.

[Generalissimo Talonius]

But its all gotta start somewhere. Let's face it : conflict is human and war is natural. There has to be war-like people to have war-like leaders. Something cant come from nothing.

[grinner]

...but nothing often comes from something.


woah that was really heavy.

4. 'IT IS THE INHERENT AGGRESSIVENESS OF MAN WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF WAR' -- TEXTBOOK OF PSYCHOLOGY. COMMENT.

Were this true, it would not be necessary for any government to impose conscription.
In fact, war is the pursuit of political aims by violent means, and these political aims have an economic basis.
