War

[The chaser]

War, war... that goddamn thing...

War is, possibly, the worst thing about humanity. Basically, what WIWWM said is quite it, but there are lots of excuses: In my opinion, masses don't usually want wars, the governments are those that want it: Most of the time in our history, wars have been because of religious reasons, and I see that just as a way to manipulate people: "If you help us kill those guys, you'll go to heaven." People are so ignorant that they believe it, and have the wish to go to heaven (who not?) so they go to war (that was before and now in some islamic countries)
Now is more a reason of fear: "If we don't act, those radicals are gonna beat our asses". Media manipulates information for government, because the government wins lots and lots of money from the wars.
