What about WWII? You think Hitler would just stop and be content if people let him have his way? If everyone thought like Nacmat (no offense nacho) then the whole world would have been under his control.
You have to decide what is right and wrong and stand up to your beliefs no matter what anyone says

my culture is mine, I can bring it with me... and besides, americans are already destroying my culture, and I dont feel I have to fight them for that... life goes that way... I have the planet to travel, and if no place is left in this planet then this is not a place for me... sad but true
my people, that does not exist... you are more my people than the man living next door, who I dont even know, you know more about me than 50% of my neighbours... and you are british... you are more part of my cultural world than they are... you are my pepople they are not...

dont apologize, its just that all over the world people categorize americans as "evil" and all that. Fucking ignorant assholes. If you dislike the government then fine say "i hate the current american government"
To say "i hate americans" is then saying you hate yourself. Because somewhere in this country of 250 million+ there is a guy just like you.

if its not a person that attacks my family or friends, but a country that invades us... then I will try my best to keep those loved ones protected from war = leaving

if ever I would fight in a war, it would be because more people would die if I didn't AND if I believed in the war.
for me to believe in a war would take a lot of trouble though - war is complete and utter chaos and one of the worst things that can happen in anyone's life.
I would not fight "for my country" - this means nothing to me, just another abstract concept.

i don't really care to rehash this argument, but i've read that as many as 50,000 people were starving to death every year, as a direct result of the UN sanctions on iraq. most of them women and childred.
multiply that by 12 years and you get a farily sizable number of purely innocent people being killed, by the world's collective decision not to take action against saddam.

i was referencing this part of your post:

people would die if I didn't"
by stating that according to some figures, more people were dying because of our refusal to use force.

HA! that's a nice example of editing, mr. Shope! you didn't copy/paste the "..AND if I believed in the war."!
besides, the discussion has more or less been about whether you would fight a war if your country was attacked, not about invading other countries for whatever reason.

war should not be an option... but some people want us to believe it is the only option sometimes... and thats shit
in usa the goverment has been speaking (in the last years) about the axis of evil, the bad ones, the terrorists...bla bla bla
they have also been adviving all the time with panic warnings like: today it is very probable that we suffer some kind of great terrorist attack, be careful!! all so that the goverment finds the back up of people to keep attacking poor countries
there is no enemie if we all try not to bother the rest, if a few rich ones try to not monopolize all the money for them

nacmat, if they don't give those warnings when they have reasonable intelligence to believe something may happen (higher security alerts)
... uhh, ok so let's say they didn't give a moderate warning.
and another attack happened.
then all the peoplewould be screaming OMG WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE DOING, WE HAD NO PRIOR WARNING TO ANOTHER ATTAC?!

and to say that there DOESN"T need to be ANY war with "today's current state of society"
LOL.
You should be saying no need for religion, because most fights going on today are as a result of religion.
So, All this post is orig. about is to respect those who fought before us (Americans, at least...doesn't need to apply to you outsiders, ) for everything they died for.
If you cannot come to the same conclusion about dying with honor, or fighting for freedom of other people in the world, or to fight against another opposition who is tormenting his/her people,
bah, I don't need your acceptance to give thanks to those who died.
You have clearly stated you wouldn't die for your country, beliefs, etc . etc .
You are just going to take advantage of the current situation.
People fought to give you rights, namcat, and you are taking advantage of that by just playing it off as they were giving to you for free.
So now when someone wants to attack those freedoms and rules that y our country lives by, instead of standing up and fighting for them, you would rather pack up and move. Coward. While your neighbors die to protect the way they live.
Yuppy coward. And it's not our fault you share more of your personal life with message board folk than your neighbor.
That's YOUR fault. Maybe you don't get along with them, fine, but to have no interaction on a personal level with them is certainly dangerous to the so called "society" you feel is so secure without any need for war
yada yada yada.

I have seen the movies , war is no picnick i tell ya!
Seriously though i have no idea. War is not ever in the common swedes mind since we have been neutral (pussy =) )country since we can remember. War here is a very abstract thought for us. Still we have an kick a$$ army and all , it don't make any sense. But they are getting rid of most of it now tho , thank god !! (just in time so i didn't have to do my military service haha! )

I can't understand how you can just pack up and move.
Take your family. Pull them from their roots, their school, your children's friends....Just pull them away from everything and up-and-move to another country for the time being.
You are reaping the benefits men have given their lives for for you and your family (future family) to have.
No, you are going to up and leave and say FUK THAT.

there is no need for war.
thats my opinion, what shall I do? change it?
I am a coward for saying I would leave if I was obiged to go to war? well, then yes, I am a coward
I am not going to kill a human being just because mr bush (or whomever) wants more money for him
when I said that I have share more with some people in this board than with some of my neighbours (I think I even said 50%) I was just telling the truth, and its not my fault... I have my friends and good friends, I am a person that has a good social life... and atr the end of the day I am not a bad person... but I was just trying to describe the situation in which I believe that there are no countries, or not real frontiers, as to define which is my people, cos my people nowadays can be spread all over the earth
