Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even with all the blood shed and loses it is still needed. As hard as all these things are it's life's natural cycle. Honestly from what I see most people don't relize what they have sometimes until it is gone. That can go for human lives, freedom, senses, and material. This is being among other things of course.
If humans did solve everything with peace I still believe the world wouldn't be anything near what everyone seems to imagine. No matter how humans have this flaw it is there. Violence, it's always there. What becomes of it the death is once more a cycle. It brings pain, confusion, and anger among many others as well though.

Wow, I really was rambling through all of that.

All animals have predators and methods of keeping their numbers in check. Humans are animals. We don't have any predators, so we have to do it ourselves.

The difference is that we have evolved these brains that allow us to feel guilt, compassion, love, etc. We learn morals that have nothing to do with nature, and so we are horrified by what we do to each other.

I'm not saying that makes it right, or acceptable, for us to kill each other; I'm just giving a reason.

Here's my opinion on this. Feel free to dismantle it and say I'm crazy. It seems logical and such the like to me.
As humans, as animals, we try to protect what gives us what we need. It could be simply food or transportation, perhaps pleasurable experiences, whatever.

Whatever-his-name-was who ordered the destruction of the Trade Centers angered the States because the States thought they were secure. It threatened them, the States thought they were going to have a wave of deadly bombings and so forth. They retaliated, thinking that they could elminate the threat, as a primitive animal takes out what threatens it's young.

War and Death are only a means of 'protecting' what we want and need. What we desire for our lives. It makes us greedy and as we try to take what we want, we step on other's toes and wars begin over whatever. Guns and war-weapons make it easier to 'protect', by killing off the threat.

Anyway, in summary, as humans we are greedy. We care for what makes us happy, and want to elminate what takes away that pleasure.

it is because the human species as a whole is stupid, overly-confident, cowardly, and imposing. you can't stop people form fighting, and you can't avoid the consequences of violence.

o.o
im gonna be part of all that violence in a few years >_< im joinin the marines.
i suggest you dont watch anymore documentaries >_O

I think all the killing is partially for EXTREMELY selfish reasons.
Without it, what would they complain about? They would sit there trying to find something to call a crisis, but there would be nothing.

Personally, I think all the killing is just a pacifier...
