I was talking with a friend about the World Wars, not sure about how we got on this topic, but I thought i'd see what the forums had to contribute to the conversation! Let's get some good 'ol fashion discussion going!

The world wars were not good wars :c
And if you think about it
Carson Beck 6:04 PM
Well duh, no wars were good wars
Except religious wars
Friend 6:04 PM
O u
But
the world wars
Were two of the most pointless wars ever fought
Carson Beck 6:04 PM
True
They were so stupid, in so many ways.
Friend 6:05 PM
It was mostly political
Carson Beck 6:05 PM
Yet...they're the most known
Friend 6:05 PM
Most soldiers fighting hardly even wanted to
Their nationalistic views weren't half what their political leaders's were
I mean
When they weren't fighting, it wasn't uncommon for them to come out of trenches, or the given war area they were on
And play games with each other
During holidays they exchanged gifts
During funnerals they had armstance o:
It is a shame someone didn't decide that it was time to end it
Carson Beck 6:07 PM
Yeah, it's like...two families parent's hate each other so they make their kids fight each other while they make faces at the other family. When they're not fighting, the kids play games
So many died for the stupidest reasons
Friend 6:08 PM
But then, many wars are like that :c
People don't realise how truly blessed they are
Or they overestimate it o:

Carson Beck 6:09 PM
Damn i just missed that
Friend 6:10 PM
Nah
What is the government going to do? It's us. They may call the orders, but we decide to listen
Carson Beck 6:11 PM
I suppose. But some governments don't care what we the people think, they do what THEY think is best. In that case, I'd probably trust you the most in charge.
Friend 6:11 PM

Anarchy is an interesting system
And it can work
On small scale
Very smale scale
Carson Beck 6:11 PM
On large scale it's....just a bad idea.
Friend 6:11 PM
Miniscule scale
Gilligan's Island
That worked out just fine
Carson Beck 6:12 PM
However, the participants have to be matured at the very least. Not too radical.
Friend 6:12 PM
It needs the right culture
That's where many of the problems lie
Carson Beck 6:12 PM
Lord of the Flies is a perfect example of how it can't work with certain people, radicals hungry for power, or immaturity in the people that makes for disrespect and stuff
Friend 6:12 PM
The culture
I prefer King of the Centipedes
Add what you will, avoid rashly attacking people, because I'm just curious about your input.
