We accept that the problem exists, so let's proceed to finding a solution. What is your suggestion?Gordon975 wrote:The Hypocrisy of the human species when applied to war is very real indeed, we outlaw murder but allow killing in war, this perhaps illustrates that war is governed by human emotion existing outside of intellectual thought, and so we have to accept that the problem exists and so find a solution.
We already have such rules, which are routinely ignored by violent men. Apologies, I mean no disrespect, but you're recycling very outdated ideas from the 19th century and trying to pass them off as sophisticated insight.Gordon975 wrote:If it is that the male of our species goes to war and is assumed to do so in defence of the females of its family and society, or for the acquisition of females by overpowering the males of another, then perhaps the military forces that nations create in our modern world should only ever be deployed within their own perceived and accepted boarders, laws enacting such a rule would have prevented many disastrous conflicts in the past.
You've started a thread about war. Good! Now, please be clear with us, was your intention in doing so to search for a solution to this existential threat? Or are you content to play a philosophical parlor game which goes endlessly round and round to nowhere? If the later, just say so, and I will accept your answer and leave you alone. Attempts to have your cake and eat it too will not be received warmly.
