War or peace? (Discussion)

StaticEmpire saidFri, 19 Jun 2009 01:44:10 -0000 ( Link )

This could be a difficult topic to discuss, but do you feel that:-

a) war is always okay, no matter what the reason is

b) war is okay to win land

c) war is only alright if you are fighting to free a country from a corrupt Government

d) war is alright to settle religious differences

e) we should never resort to war

or any other viewpoint? what do you think?

personally, I believe in peace because death is such an awful consequence, and there is such sadness and emotion when we remember the dead from previous wars. I just think that it shouldn’t happen, and there is always a better option than murder. And I think it’s wrong that the surviving soldiers should have murder on their conscience for the rest of their lives, knowing that they have taken a life. Life is sacred, and I think that by going to war, we just throw our lives away

    I completely and totally agree with you, but don’t you think that if we totally scrapped war as a country and didn’t have any armed forces, anyone could easily invade, and we would be living under the power of someone else. the thing is, self defence as a nation is important too.

    and remember, many people are proud to have fought for their country

    rokbud, yes i know people have a choice now, but very often they don’t know what they are in for when they sign up. it isn’t what they would expect

    that’s really interesting actually. i think at the end of the first world war, they ended up forcing people to go because they didn’t have enough soldiers

    I know lots of people who think that war is okay – no matter what – and I think that’s quite selfish because they would be quite happy for brave soldiers to go over and fight, and for lots of people to die, but they themselves would ever give their own lives doing the same

    yes, it’s quite hypocritical. I hate it when people act like that.
