Best reason to start a war

[Tartarga]

we have a surplus of nukes

Land. The most finite and lasting resource on the planet.

I forgot about that stuff.

Yeah, think about it: land/territory has been an important commodity since the very dawn of man. Since an amount of land is fixed, it'll always be about as valuable. You can build shit on it, increasing its value, and all your descendants will profit from land one way or the other: they could inherit it, and start their own thing. They could pawn it, generating income without any investment whatsoever.

If you want to ensure your future and of your progeny, get yoself some land, bro! If I had to pick a reason to wage war, it'd definitely be land.

This being the escapist, I'm surprised that nobody's said this:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

 

[Radeonx]

Because I am bored, and a war would amuse me for a short time.

That is the best reason to do anything.

This. Or, because the other guy said I was too much of a pussy to start a war. Take that, other guy!

 

[Guitar Gamer]

for the love of ONE woman of course
haw haw, the ancient greeks

I'd say, to rise against a oppresive government and becuase they have illegalized gaming

I would think this would be obvious.
Given a brief looking over history there are only three primary reasons for starting a war
1 - over your imaginary friend (god)
2 - because they look / act different than you (race)
3 - paper invoking the name of your imaginary friend on it (money)

the reasons become mushed and blurred by a million things, but that is basically the root of every war.

But the question was, Why would you start a war?

OT: I would start a war against anyone who is ignorant, hell even other Christians, Ignorance is most certainly not bliss. Other examples:

-Nazi's
-Rednecks
-Homophobes (Who hate homosexuals)
-Atheists who won't SHUT THE FUCK UP
-Any religious extremist group

That is the optimy of Bigotry. You would kill athiest who were adimant about their beliefs? Or just athiests that talked alot?

You would kill rednecks? Why, because they seem less educated or because of the cousin fucking stereotype?

And Religious Extremists? Like the bible belt christians? The Vatican? Orthodox Jews?

You would also kill the ignorant?

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information. I can understand killing people who are shown the information and openly regect it, but to kill people that never even got the memo?

No I would wage war on rednecks because most of them are backwoods bigots who hate, I would wage war on Atheists because they won't shut the fuck up about my religion when I'm perfectly fine with them being who they are. Lastly, I don't think you know what the term extremist means, I'm talking about a church of Christians who blame gays for everything or a group of Muslims who try to restrict all western influences.

 

[MasterChowmein]

wars dont have to be between countries so, i would say drugs

 

[geldonyetich]

FIIIIIIIIIIRE ZE MISSLES!

If the alternative would be worse and you have no better options, of course. Basically, it's a last resort.

No i am well aware of what an extremist is, i was just pointing out moderate extremists that every one seems so willing to accept.

And i love how you are willing to kill a person for him using his freedom of speech, even tho that freedom makes you uncomfortable. It almost sounds like you condone an Athiest Holocaust.

Though must believe in god or you die. And if you think along the lines of pushing your religion on people, i have been on buses where self proclaimed christian soldiers have made school kids cry because they were athiest. Aye, a double bladed sword we be playin with.

I have to object to this. Some of the smartest people I've met were also rednecks--and, you know what else? They were pretty enlightened as far as social equality and such go.

Quite frankly, I'd say you're more bigoted than they.

I would wage war on Atheists because they won't shut the fuck up about my religion when I'm perfectly fine with them being who they are.

Hypocritical, since--according to you--denouncing your religion is what all atheists do and as such a crucial part of who they are.

Lastly, I don't think you know what the term extremist means

Somebody who wants to kill everyone whose views don't coincide with his own.

Wake up and smell the fanaticism, Goldie--you're steeping in it.

No, I never said all Atheists denounce my religion but a large part of them argue with me forever about it, thus I say Atheists WHO WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT.

I live in Texas along the gulf coast and all, and yes i mean ALL, rednecks hate black people or Mexicans so excuse me if you've meet different people.

No extremism is a term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals or groups outside the perceived political center of a society or otherwise claimed to violate common moral standards.

Best reason to start a war? To prevent it!

It sounds like you avoiding what I really said, I have never pushed my religion on anybody and to say so without even knowing me for 2 seconds is stupid. I like how all you can talk about is how I have supposedly done wrong doing all my life.
