What is war?
 

What is war? Is it a soldier dying, or guns, or bombs, or crosses, or weeping mothers, or sport, or patriotism, or valor, or high paying jobs? What is war? Not hell. For that is merely evil. War is worse than evil. It is mind-boggling suicide --mass suicide-- with humankind devouring or trying to devour itself. In vain attemps to assuage some sort of weird, innate (and apparently insatiable) appetite nurtured by our true and beloved God, Mars, we will not settle for less than the "flower of evolution" as the main course, embellished by bountiful side dishes and fanciful shakers filled with the "fruits" of our marvelous hands and big starving brains. How long will we persist in this lethal nonsense? How long before we really believe that salvation lies not in an insane paradox fostered by brute and selfish gluttony, but in the far more "nutritious" and healthful viand in the sadly neglected garden of human compassion and understanding? Considering the status of brotherhood today, possibly too long.

kan de bu shi hen dong . who help me explain in chinese! thank you

Heh he said dong.

WELL PUT MY FRIEND!! You to Al.He did say dong.

what the fuck is tomorrow?

god damn it, al. this cryptic shit's gonna kill me.

Oh heh...sorry. Uh, I have been given permission to tell you, which I know that might sound lame but it is a HUGE honor, with Xng being the only other person on gnet who is allowed to know! ^_^

Er...I'll email it to your yahoo account, check it in 10 minutes (cause I know you are hitting 'Refresh' waiting to see my answer!)

"dong"=understand =懂,理解,认为 懂,pronunciation,''dong''.

Chinacorpse, I really love how well said that was. War usually just makes things worse and it just turns into some macho testosterone(sp?) contest. And all of the leaders are men! Yes. War is all about compensation.

Oh, nice. Who loves punkirony? HUH? You love me Al. Damn. This sucks. You suck. But I love you! Tell me now? I feel so whinny, I really want to know. I don't know why. I think it's because I can't know.

lyricaly beutifull well put. war is a waste so many young minds die . and the ones they fight for will die when they come of age . a visious cyle with casulties , inesents , its a waste

yes, War is very much so a waste.

You know america wouldn't be involved with any type of war if our fellow PRESIDENT or leader was forced to fight hand to hand combat with whatever country he decides to mess with. Maybe if he led the march things would be different.

yeah, i full heartedly agree with that.
