A Serious Note Creeps In

In one of those Blogland coincidences, as a subject for his Sunday 160 characters, Monkey Man suggested 'War?', then proceeded to write a fun piece about a different kind of explosion. But the word to me has a profound meaning, for I was born during one, and grew up with its aftermath in evidence all around the stricken city of Portsmouth. Which perhaps explains my own 160 this week.

I think wars create more problems than they solve. The warring factions need to communicate, understand their opponents viewpoint, or hostility will continue.

    I agree that wars often create more problems than they solve but must concede that sometimes they are unavoidable, much as I would wish it to be otherwise. It is the civilian population that always bears the brunt.

    Right you are to take a serious note with this. The human propensity for violence is puzzling and appalling, as is the idea that violence is the a solution to any problem.

    Well, of course they do, and I do tend to think that if women were in charge there would be less of them, but .. maybe in these days of PC/'equality'/capitalism and just plain 'I'm as good as you are if not BETTER', I'm wrong.

    Men (and women) are aggressive creatures, let's face it.

    Jay - sad but true, I'm afraid... Aggression rarely helps anyone...
