What could replace War?

[thiosk]

We'd end up fighting wars with countries whom disagree about what to replace war with.

Government leaders having duels with flintlock pistols

Or maybe Rock Paper Scissors, two out of three

This seems like a good option.

Football? It's nationalistic and violent enough.

But America would always win! That's the problem, we created football.

Oh boy...be prepared to be teased. For a little future foresight, go wiki or google Football first, my fellow American.

*Mocking*
That's the great thing about English, we invented national anthems and football, so we can be awful at both and still claim an advantage.

OT, Genetically engineered sports? Whoever can put a colony on Mars first? Whoever finds a solution to the recession? (Answer - don't have an economy in the first place. Native tribes were happier before we gave them guns (yes a very anarchistic view but its true.))

Limiting the planet's population and a fair system of dividing the resources of the world. Else, war will continue for resources. Ideologies will probably remain a dividing line, but it seems that without competition for resources getting out of hand, they might slowly fade into non-voilent disputes.

Information is power nowadays. I think the biggest contributors to Modern Warfare (no pun intended I hate CoD) is the media. They fight our minds everyday.

War is what happens when people want something badly enough to kill or be killed for it. When people reach that point, there is no turning back.

If things could have been settled by a race or game of chess or anything other than war, the conflict would have been resolved by negotiation. So, in short, nothing can replace war. Sad, but true.

Business interests. If globalisation gets much of a stronger hold, with a multinational presence capable of evading laws, then war will simply not be allowed by the economic world. It's one of the reasons - along with others - that we're not going to have too many intra-European wars any time soon. We're all too economically integrated for capitalism to function in a state of war, so business interests in politics simply won't let it happen.

Failing that, pokemon cards.

I think Tourneys would be a good way of eliminating war, have an argument, joust. We gamers could just do a brawl and it'll all be peaceful like lol

 

[Rhymenoceros]

Did anyone watch Robot Wars as a kid...

You know the one where father son teams handbuild RC kill bots and make them fight...

Imagine that but with clever people building the robots...

And people inside the robots

Both parties must present their quarrel to the Council of Fancy Men (the Council of Fancy Men being a group with a bunch of individuals who have great reasoning abilities and have the most accurate moral compass).
Why should party A be given control, why not party B and vice versa. After points have been made the council decides which side is the best for all citizens and that party is the winner.

If both sides are worthless the land will be ruled by to the Council of Fancy Men.

Seriously, in this age war is very unfavourable to the citizens. There's a very high chance soldiers will die and the winner may be pure evil who will enslave everyone.

Also, ruling a place very well has NOTHING to do with skill. It's about reasoning and knowing what's best.
It's retarded to decide who wins by a game of chance or of muscle prowess.

Technically, the Nuclear Bomb ended war. with it's creation and first time use, people were scared shitless. Sure, we've had conflicts in the past (Vietnam, Korea) but nothing that would classify as a full-scale war.

True - this is why I'm not sure people who are dead-cert we should all destroy our nukes have properly thought things through.

It's not really peace though is it. It's more like stalemate based on fear. Although I wouldn't put that past Russia either.

 

[Caligulove]

Haha, isnt that the plot of one of the Street Fighters or some other fighting game? That the tournament is how they solve problems with other nations. One hell of a decadent society if that's all we had to worried about between countries, man.

More than anything, it would always be competitive. People like to be better than others. Nothing wrong with that, though.

He ment the one where you use your foot to kick the ball

Not your hand to throw the egg.

OH...woops i thought he meant HAND-FOOTBALL. well ya in that case Brazil or some place would always win.

I think if we did do "HAND-FOOTBALL" it would be more even. But if that didn't work out I say we use sticks that are hollow that fire metal projectiles using explosives, and vehicles that use treads instead of wheels that have a REALLY BIG hollow stick on top that uses explosive projectiles I have just mentioned.

An orgy. Whoever lasts longest, wins. The loser has to clean up the blood.

G-Gundam.

Wars over territory, and political conflicts will be settled by screaming lunatics, wearing skin tight latex, who pilot offensive national stereotypes in arena fights.
