the Origins of War

Putting wingdings gonads aside for the moment and also the everpresent war against hippies, what is your explanation of war and what do you beleive was it's origin? and why not it's final outcome....

I have a feeling it goes way way back in time..............

i'm sure i selected "other" in the subsection choice...so why the hell does it go into the polls section........

but what makes others ones' enemy? I can see if indeed cromagnon man and neanderthal man cohabitated during the same period and occupying the same land that thet may sqabble over hunting grounds but is that what has percolated down from way way back then to today?

Bullets are a result of evolution.

War, quite literally, is a reflection of the weakness associated with the human psyche.

Forget the rationalisation processes; the notion of war is not in-built, however, it is us at our weakest point mentally.

Violence is inherent though. "The violence within", as was once said.

Nature, including our species, holds true to violent tendencies: for survival, out of fear, protection, etc.. It is inescapable.

We can environmentally condition ourselves otherwise all we like, however, when it comes down to pure survival over, say, something as fundamental as water, for example, then just watch what "animals" people turn into.

Human behaviour is most surely predictable, if nothing else.

..*FART!*..

That's been known to start some hostile action...
