War is very very bad. Nonetheless, it can achieve great things (but not for the dead lying on the battlefield).
a person would not be doing the lotto tickets with a strong power of will. A strong person ( a person with power of will) will find a purpose in life is to learn and educate and use that information. Power of will to do anything, to resist temptations, to follow a goal, the hardest goal there is. To prove this everyday.
Why not? Julius Caesar knew he was starting a war by crossing the Rubican - and it did turn into a great thing - the Roman Empire.
war is eventually what led to the fall of the roman empire, because the only way they could fuel their economy was by waging war.
it does. A person with truly strong power of will analyzes all perceivable situations...into the future and acts in essence to neutralize a threat against him/her.
Yeah? So you can calculate the designated impact point, work out exact the deviation from that, remember the CEP and get out of the blast radius while the bomb is falling? Providing you see it coming of course...
I think history proves us that persons with a very powerfull will (to survive) in combination with fighting/conquering have sometimes a very short life: Julius Caesar, Sadam Hussein, Che Guevarra, Vasco Da Gamma, Hitler, Pol Pot, Chaucescu,Napoleon (Mr Stratego himself), Himler (the nr 1 Nazistrategist).... You seem smart Dragon, but you'll have to accept that our excistence sometimes depends on luck...funny that most people can't deal with it.
It didn't turn out that great for Julius nor do we know how the Republic might have developed without his intervention--there is no reason to assume that it would not have been a great political and cultural force anyway.
if genocide is good for the economy, then i am for it! if genocide is bad for the economy, then i'm against it! if healthcare for all is good for the economy, then i am for it! if healthcare for all is bad for the economy, then i'm against it! if enviromental devastation is good for the economy, then i am for it! if enviromental devastation is bad for the economy, then im against it! if going to war is good for the economy, then i am for it! if going to war is bad for the economy, then im against it! this country's gears can't slow down at any cost to anyone they must sound banker's fortunes and power cravings too to this machine are bound so this country's gears can't slow down they keep selling us a rotten deal, and im getting more than sick of it because the suffering it brings, far outweighs the minor benefits the death of our health, the death of our dreams, the death of this world that we lease the death of breathing life back into the long dead corpse we once called "peace" "If it's good for the economy, I'm for it" Justin Sane
