nativetexan Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Then what is the answer? Today while searching all over town for a new set of climbing sticks, I noticed a sign on the side of the road in front of a house that simply said "War is not the answer." Not uncommon for New Jersey, but, I have to ask the question. If you are making a public statement of this nature, shouldn't you have included an idea or answer? I get real sick of people saying "war is not the answer" but offer nothing realistic up to provide the answer. Anyone else notice this? I've thought long and hard about this, and if I had an answer other than bombs and bullets, I would certainly throw it in the bowl for group discussion and possible implementation. You know, sort of like signs that say "BAN GUNS!!!" But we all know that this solves nothing crime related, and also leaves people defenseless amongst a myriad of other things. Yet they offer nothing realistic up to help prevent gun violence. It's very close in nature to a heroin addict. They feel like crap until they get their fix, then are happy, only to come back down again, and eventually kick the bucket. Only feels good for a while until you realize that it didn't solve any problems, but instead created new ones. Just a thought for you all to ponder.

buckee Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well, the truth is, war isn't the answer ... Jesus is the answer. But as long as there are men standing who don't believe in God's mercy and rightousness and God's rules for morality, then war is inevitable, because evil takes hold, and the sins of man will always be his downfall. I'm looking forward to the day when there are no more tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 the world is full of evil, and evil people. i for one, do not believe that the meek will inherit the earth. i think we'll need to fight for every inch we get. that "war is not the answer" sign was probably on the lawn of a draft dodger, pot smoking liberal...

TreeStandBowHunter Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If war is not the answer than what is:D...do we give countries "time-outs"? To me, dealing with countries is like dealing with children. Some children or "countries" for this matter, don't learn by talking but they do learn by "spanking"....if you do it hard enough,LOL! War may not be the answer but it is needed;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I don't know. Only way I knew how to stop a bully was to pop him in the mouth. Iraq got popped. Who's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 WE (the Judea - Christian nations of the West) did not declare or start this war. THEY (the Islamo Fascists of the Middle East) did. As I see it, we have only 2 choices. Fight back or surrender. I guess the people with the sign have decided to surrender.
