+304 Declaring war is just a permit to let you kill a lot of people, amirite?

***and letting the other person kill a lot of YOUR people. It's not one sided.

Yeah... I never understood how "I can kill more of your people than you can of mine" makes someone right in an argument between nations.

It isn't always just an argument.

I couldn't really come up with a better word. With any situations between two nations, killing a bunch of people doesn't make one side right. It just makes a bunch of people dead.

Once again, it isn't about proving who is right. It's all about power: whether it's getting power, or stopping someone else from getting power.

To some people. I mean, when you win a war, everyone assumes that the winning side is right in whatever matter was being fought over. But it doesn't make them right.

Not really. Do I think the Romans were right to conquer most of Europe? No. Would I think the Holocaust was right if the Nazis won? No. Do I think communism is right because the North Vietnam won in the Vietnam War? No.

Do you think communism is a bad thing, really?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yes.

...... okay... Makes you sound pretty ignorant, though.

No it doesn't. I personally think communism is a bad thing because it isn't a system that I would not like living in. So for me, yes, it is a bad thing. Other people like communism and thats fine for them. Economically it works fantastically, but I'm personally not a fan. And by the way, I said "do I think communism is right" not "do I think communism is good" earlier. Communism isn't "right" because that implies that everything else is wrong. No form of government is perfect. And how the hell does replying to a yes or no question with "Yes" make me sound ignorant?
