war

war.. is not honour, war.. is not valor, war.. is not sacrifice.

war.. is killing, war.. is hurt, war is aggression and war is empty

soldiers aren't heros, soldiers aren't brave

soldiers are manipulated, soldiers are murderers and soldiers are cowards

if there were no soldiers there would be no wars.

You really know how to put that dark background to good use, lluvia. All the colors and pictures become quite luminous. It's like magic. You know what they would have done with you a couple of hundred years ago, don't you?

I've read that not only the majority of witches who were burned were female, but also the majority of the accusers. Bet that doesn't really surprise you.

War may be stupid, but it's the way of the world, I'm afraid. Unavoidable. Peace is an illusion. There's only war. With weapons, with words. All living creatures are at war with each other, all the time. Peace means that you are temporarily out of range. A moment's respite from the clawing, scratching and biting.

If it's any consolation to you, I have no intention of ever letting myself be used as cannon fodder by a society that spits on my gender. You're quite right. Men who sacrifice themselves are stupid. I'll make a run for it, even if it means leaving you and your loved ones undefended.

Don't want to make the same mistake as our forefathers, now do we, who got nothing but scorn in return.

war might be part of your world, but at least for now, its not part of mine.. i dont know of any other living creatures that start wars so they can maintain control over the oil!

good, then at least you are cleverer than your friends, there is hope for you yet!

i think that in the first world war they died because they prefered to run into machine guns than lose status and reputations with their friends and be called a coward, just like a woman!

and i got banned for that? perhaps it is men who do not value their own lives, and those of their friends..

That's because you're from a far away planet...

As long as one person or group (man or woman) wishes to force their opinion or way of living upon a Man*** who wishes not to live that way nor obey that opinion there will be War.

***While women will attack Men if they have other Men to do the attacking, and attack other women if they have the impetus to do so, they do not counter attack based on idealogical values: ie: they are cowards (so am I as I have not defended myself is such a way either, nor do most men, but some Men do fight to defend themselves and their beliefs and wishes and hopes)

Hey Fruits, how's life?

Here is a video of a cute baby seal. Unfortunately they are hunted in Canada so make sure to boycott all Canadian products from now on.

Astounding ignorance. Those forced into wars have never been given a choice. If they were it was either execution(often of others close to the conscriptee) or participation.

@Miss Ondrya...
Forty percent of those killed in the witch hunts were male and two thirds of the accusers were female.
