The all i have to say to that is forget that man im all about only fighting for noble ideals. I also will never harm anyone only if i have to defend myself or unless it involves fighting for a noble purpose. Violence is blinding and pointless evil. If you want to release your energy go to something active, like sports, weightlifting, running swimming. Violence to be is dead to me. Side: Wait..., what...?

"If you want peace, prepare for war. " war and violence will continue to be in operation so long as they are advantageous. To have peace you want to insure your opponents know that it would be disadvantageous to fight you. This may require giving out a sample of your ability. One must be careful to not seem as a threat though, for then its disadvantageous to have you around and resentment will breed. Side: Makes sense to me

Look at our major wars; they haven't been about peace. The American Revolution was about independence. The Civil War was about uniting the country. WW1 was fought over territories. It was caused by imperialism, nationalism, militarism and the system of alliances. WW2 was fought over resources. The Korean War and Vietnam War was fought to stop the spread of communism (damn commies) The Gulf War was fought to protect our oil rich ally, Kuwait and hence our interests. The current Iraq war is about oil and Afghanistan is about fighting terrorism at its roots. Side: Wait..., what...?

Civil War: Depends on what side you're on. North: keeping states in the Union South: States rights President Wilson Former President Wilson We were bombed I never said we weren't. After we were bombed, we were drawn into the biggest resource war in history. Germany wanted Russia's resources. We ended up with Iraq as an ally and they had a lot of oil. We cut off Japan's oil and they suffered. They invaded the Pacific for resources. Side: Wait..., what...?
Although this is an oxymoron,countries do it all of the time. I mean,technically speaking I suppose I would fight for peace...but only if it was the only way to achieve peace. In other words,it'd be a last minute method. There are many other ways to achieve peace,one of these methods are especially through compromise or mutual agreement. Side: Wait..., what...?
