  A comment on Conversation: Is war a necessity or something that should be avoided at all cost?

  Jul 22 2011: The "military industrial complex" is alive and doing well.
  Conflicts are conflicts, humans have them all the time. We have conflicts with others, with ourselves and with nature. Conflicts in my opinion is a natural human condition. So someone could say that violence is a naturally human way of solving conflicts, therefore war is a necessary evil.
  War is big business. Everyone, except the victims and casualties of war, profit directly or indirectly from it.
  How can we ever achieve peace, when there is a monster industry that profits from human conflict. If we as individuals are affected economically in a positive way from war... do we really want peace?

• A comment on Conversation: The death penalty is unjustifiable

  Jul 20 2011: Capital punishment is a dumb persons solution to an obvious emotional problem. A convicted murderer should pay for his crime, but not with their life. We don't have that right. There are better solutions. "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
