Now since the guild is actually starting a war, I would like to talk about it. Now first, this war we are in right now, "The War On Terror" Has been going on for quite some time. I've even lost count of the years. Its been about 9 or 10 years? Please correct me if I'm wrong. The point is, I want to raise some issues regarding this war, for just a tad bit, and wars in general.
The "War on Terror" has actually progressed into a war with the whole middle east. I have no idea why this is. Most likely something about oil. Well, the point is, it is hard for our troops iover there. They face death everyday not just from men, but women and children have also been given guns and they DO shoot at them. It is especially hard if they have kids of their own back home. But many people want to pull them out. That's all fine and dandy, but what happens when we give up the front? Will another 9/11 happen? It is hard to say, but I do believe that if we pull our troops out we will be put at risk and they will attack us on the homefront.
Enough about that though. What I was getting at was we are all raised with different beliefs, religions, and morals. Do you know what happens when those men and women go into the service? They are forced to abandon said beliefs, religions, and morals and pick up entirely different one. They are then forced to kill. Now for those that are against killing, I imagine it must be hard for them.
Now what about the people who want world peace? Do they forget that world peace comes at a cost? If we were to try and have world peace, do you know what would most likely happen? A war would break out. Now I could be very wrong, but one thing I have learned nothing is free. Even our very freedom comes at a cost. And most of the cost is across the sea fighting the war to protect us and our freedom.
Now that is all I have to say for now. I will probably be regular in this forum. I look foward to all your comments, opinions, and re-buddles. And please remember to be respectable to those who post here. Not everyone might have your same ideal. Please try and be respectable.

Never Stop Dreaming...1. I personally think that oyu have to go through the good and the bad. A world of complete peace and happiness would be boring and unrealistic. You would be naive and think that there is no evil in this world. That's not true. I think that petty fights are pointless, but more dramatic things such as war and other big disagreements are necessary.
Plus, I wouldn't give two rips about our soldiers if I didn't know that any second my own father could called and ordered to go overseas and sacrifice his life for us. I think war helps you appreciate the good things in life. I cherish each moment that my dad has on leave.
2. Now, for the troops over seas, I wish they could come home. I remember when my dad went to Korea a few years back and I was worried the whole time and I know what it's like to have someone go over seas with the chance of not coming back.
But, if we just call all the troops back then it is most likely that we will be attacked and the war might just continue here.
I wish that we could just compromise and talk and stop killing. We're killing innocent people and ruining lives.
But I don't think that's going to happen either. As far as solutions, I'm not really sure...
3. When it comes to war, I usually just sit back. Everyone is going to disagree and try to shoot at someone else at some point or another.
World Peace is nearly impossible. For complete and total peace, everyone has to agree and support and get along with everyone else. For world peace, no one can have issues with anything else that someone is doing. I doubt that will ever happen in my lifetime.
humans are humans.
Wars are bad, hundreds, thousands maybe even millions of people may be hurt and killed but it's inevitable.
I do agree that war is bad, but it's also unavoidable. Meso-The Wonderer-RP Now I could be very wrong, but one thing I have learned nothing is free. Even our very freedom comes at a cost. And most of the cost is across the sea fighting the war to protect us and our freedom. No one has complete freedom. Complete and true freedom is no laws and no one trying to take control. Being free to do whatever you want. That's true freedom.
We only merely have more rights and more leniency.
And I do agree. Everything comes at a cost, we get to sit at home while people are at war, fighting for our better "leniency". Of That Beautiful Place..

I notice numerous fallicies that I am really just dying to point out, but I'm going to wait until I've had a night of sleep so that I might do so with more eloquence.

I am in agreement with Tea Panda O_0 on many points.
I do not believe in good or evil. Since that is a matter of perspective. Differences of opinion are very real and in war these are inflated to ridiculous proportions.
Anytime you have a group of people together there will be conflict. The chances of conflict increase with the amount of people. War is inevitable as has been said. For that matter I dont think there has been a time (with some form of humanity present) when there has been "world peace." World peace is an ideal. Worthwhile yes, unlikely to actually happen.
Last I checked we were not at war with the entire middle east.
Many countries there disagree quite abit with what has been happening there. Yes, some of the people fighting have come out of the countries in the area. Thats different from being at war with their country of origin.
Ive seen both sides of the coin on the changes that happen to people upon joining the military. Most of the people I know in the military have not given up the principles that are part of who they are. On the other hand a good friend of mine became the exact opposite of the person he used to be. However he did not make it through the training, so it could be that part of it was the loss of his dream of being a marine.
The cost of war is extremly high, death, injury, and PTSD among civilians and soldiers alike. Is it fair. No. Life often isnt though.

Sun Zuh believed that a nation that understood the art of war already had the foundation of a great empire.

The freedom of some comes at the cost of the freedom of others. One thing must give way to another. Two or more absolutes can't exist without having frictions among them. It's like having two objects exist within the same space at the same moment. (I think..)
