What's the fucking point ?

Ii used to think war a necessasity in this world and that if you opposed it you were just a tree hugging liberal cunt.

However my views have changed, War is just a pointless fucking excersise, Its the way the human race is exterminating it self, i mean war under any guise is pointless.

religion
territorial
oil

hunderds of years this earth has been ravaged by war amongst humans, we are killing each other, life means nothing , some times this world actually saddens me.

That's some Miss USA talk.

virtuoso:
Can I recommend to you that you read George Orwell's 1984?

It answers that question, but you are right, it's not intended to be fought for "good" it's purpose is destruction but you need to read that  ;D

What was the catalyst for your change of thinking?

Either I never really understood Orwell's point, or I simply disagree.

To me, war seems to be a pretty natural state for all living things (and even the lifeless things are constantly looking for a balance, thus coming to clashes on the way there).
Humans get into wars precisely because they naturally strive for growth. Such growth of one ultimately goes at the cost of the opportunities of others, and the result is a conflict.

There is not much to be done against this, because striving for growth is innate to life, and there's no way to suppress such conflicts because of their size.
