Why do we keep starting new wars when the old ones are still going on?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I was just listening to the news, and an announcer dude mentioned that Turkey has forbidden trials into looking into the Armenian genocide - there's a war that's still going on.

World War I - still going on.
American Civil War - still going on.

And of course, the war that started in the middle east 10,000 or so years ago - still going on.

Muslim/Jew wars - still going on
Muslim/Christian wars - still going on
Muslim/Hindu wars - still going on

White/Black war in America - still going on
White/Native American war in America - still going on


Tribal wars in Africa - still going on, even after all us western outsiders were so kind to draw boundary lines for them and set up our friends as kings and presidents

Seriously - what the fuck?! - why can't we just first finish the fucking wars we already have? Then we'll talk about starting more, though hopefully we'll go "Wow - it's really quiet, and gosh, look at my wallet, it's fucking FILLED with money, now that we're not waging war any more!"

6. "and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air...

"gave proof through the night, the our flag was still there." :patriot:

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I hate that song, and refuse to sing it.

This is the one thing that I agree with the Jehova's Witnesses on - no pledging allegiance to anything other than God, no singing national anthems, no patriotic bullshit rah rah that keeps humanity separated one from the other and instilling boundaries, lines of separation, and reasons to hate one another.

12. naw dude, it's like george carlin duly notes...

and i paraphrase, "of course we're always at fucking war. we've been at war for fucking ever. we're the only fucking nation on earth that has bombs & fucking rockets in our national fucking anthem!!!"

:rofl:

ps, watch out for that "military-industrial-complex" it's a bitch on wheels

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. It's pretty embarassing that we're the only ones who DO

have rockets and bombs in our anthem.

Fuycking warmongering society, that's what we are.

9. Actually...

...all the defense contractors and other war profiteers would look at their wallets, flip the fuck out, and come beat down the door of the White House demanding another war.

Think they'd get one?
