Can you explain what's the reason? You can say positive as well as negative reasons.
I think the most common reason for war is the urge to capture resources owned by another jurisdiction. For example, the USA frequently goes to war to secure access to energy resources.

Countries that support war are the greedy nations. They support this stupid thing for their own security reasons and to possess what they do not own. It is all about the money and power.
I'm an atheist and have the following standpoint:
- All religions are hoaxes, making people belive in non-existing gods.
Religions serve the following purposes:
1. Making people have some comfort in their lives, having something else than themselves to pray to and look up to. This is mostly culturrally dependent,
most people adhere to the religion were they grew up, and what was ingrained in them from early childhood.
2. To keep uneducated people in control.
3. To keep power and control in a central position.
If religion was all about love to your God, and it was all a mental thing, there would be no need for churches, and all accessories that goes with a religion.
It's sad that a God-fearing man goes regularily to church to get closer to his maker. He could've been just as close to his God in his couch at home.
Many religious entities collect money, and are rather greedy, there are internal battles about power and control, just think of the Vatican.
I think it's rather sad that in 2012, so many people put their belief in something that doesn't exist. You may pray, and you may feel that your prayers were heard,
and things turn for the better in your life, but most of the time, the prayers are futile, and the only one that can change anything in your life is yourself.
States need to separate themselves from religion, and any religious society needs to take care of itself. Many religious societies does serve a good purpose in their
municipality, and there's nothing wrong with that, and I do respect anyone that has their faith, but I don't think there's any God of any sorts, and people need to take
responsibility for their own lives.
Will the earth ever come to a point where people are so educated that they understand that science is the only true answer, and that everything else is fairytales ?
As much as I respect any Christian or any devoted religious person from any other religion (I may think his belief is a joke, but I would never say it to his face to force a confrontation in disrespect), I don't think any religions should have any special protection under the law.
Part of the problem is that Religion is so ingrained into the culture of most countries, that many people don't even question it.
Education will put the power in the hands of the people to learn about the world around them, and will remove the power of the leaders of their religion over them.
As an atheist, I don't think your religion defines whether you're a good person or not, that's more down to the person itself, and the values you've been taught in your upbringing, and what you've learned through your education.
Now, with the recent uproar about the 'Innocence of Muslims'-movie, people shouldn't get upset about it. If they don't like it, they should simply ignore it, and don't speak of it. Killing people, making riots etc. and claim that it's because of this movie, this is not right. People are always responsible for what they do.
If I were a Christian, and someone mocked my religion and called me a religious fool, and I got angry and burned down their house, that would be completely unacceptable by me, and I would need to take the full penalty for it.
Some people say we should not provoke 'islam' through cartoons, movies etc. And this may seem like the easy way out. But what if we continously bombarded Islam with this material, would they keep rioting every day of the week, every week, every month and every year, or would they finally sit down and say to themselves: "I'm tired of fighting, I can be a good muslim, no matter what any people say about my religion".
Islam doesn't receive more goodwill by having it's followers react like this, I would think most sivilized people just seeing this for what it is; outright crimes. Also I think a lot of the people that we see rioting in the streets, are only using this movie as an excuse for acting like they do.
Is there a single other Religion in the world were the members would've reacted like this over a movie ?

I have a very strange definition of religion. Religion is the one thing that divides and separates us from being brothers and sisters.
Is uniform really necessary to students? Do we really need to formalize students to study? In most asian countries many require School uniform, mostly because of distinction of schools. However in the US, students can wear whatever they want for as long as they follow the dress code of the school on what is considere appropriate. What are your thoughts in this matter, do we really need school uniforms for students? Give some specific reasons why or why not.
In my own opinion, we do not need school uniforms. Uniforms does not make people an engineer for example because quality education does.
I have come across a post on facebook where a user have been deliberately selling drugs that can abort a baby. She even have packages of aborteficient medicine depending on which trimester the expectant mother is currently in. This incident have stirred up many netizens on facebook.
Are you PRO or ANTI abortion?
Are you PRO or ANTI abortion?
I strongly disagree with abortion. It is a form of murder. I somehow agree with contraceptives, but abortion is way too different from it. If you still do not want to be a parent, then use a contraceptive.
I think it's not. But the right should be same for both of them. Discrimination between man and women should not be existed in 20th century. But unfortunately it increases in some region. The explanation of discrimination is changed though. But i think if we generalize this in the typical way, then we cannot get the positive result.
Men and women are different in - 1. Biologically and
2. Mentally
All the men should be thankful to the women because they could not see the earth if the women did not give birth.Women are much more ahead to get respect than man because mother is the inventor of the universe.Man and woman are like 2 students who got the same marks at the exam. For example, john(man) and rita (women) are friends from same class. They each got 90 marks out of 100 marks which had 10 mathematical problems.

As we can see they got the same marks in overall but they are not the same in each mathematical problems. I think man and woman are like this. Their rights are the same in overall but their rights in different stages and situations are not the same.Physically a man is more stronger than a women.So,In order to establish the security of the family they have to come forward first.On the other hand a women can be a symbol of peace in the society.In a research, it is seen that the corruption rate is much more higher when the workers are male.Interestingly this rate is very much lower among the female workers.

Physically, yes we are different but when it comes to the eyes of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, we are all equal.
I've noticed a lot of students been struggling in choosing what course to take in college. Do you have any tips for it?
It is very important for a person entering into college to choose the right course. I did experience that, in fact, the degree that i had finished in college is my 3rd course already, spending seven years in college to be exact. So I strongly encourage students to choose a course that you really want, force yourself to choose something that will make you happy at the end of the course.
I am thinking how to prepare for death and passing assets to others.
I have a number of bank accounts, physical commodities and of course alt coins.
How do I make sure that when I die, these all get collected by my family? Of course I know about wills, but this is a new world with wallets and bank accounts in multiple countries.
Cheers

You can change the holder of when it comes to the money from your bank. As for the altcoins, you can convert everything into cash and just simply put it in your bank account.
Somebody Say if we commit sin we will be also belong to the the Wrath of GOD and we will not be having eternal Life?
Sin is something that is not supposed to be done and which is also co-related to conscience. If we commit sin, yes we are subjected to the wrath of God but if we repent and ask forgiveness, Our Lord is just and he always forgives.
If we live in a libertarian society , where you were able to run a free market paradise , without hurting anyone of course ...
What business would you run?
I'd have a S.U.P - Safe Usage Place
So lets say you are doing LSD in my establishment , I would give you access to a forest where you would be able to walk freely through the forest , allowing you to experience a calming green forest while you wander amongst the trees.
of course you can let your imagination run wild with ideas.
It's like a nature reserve but for humans.

It does not matter what type of society we lived in, the most important thing is that we should respect each other. Whatever you do, just bare in mind that you are not oppressing someone.
so i've been thinking about this a lot recently, and i would like to know if anyone can come up with a reason why politicians are still necessary for good government. i've come to realize that their whole relevance comes from a time itself irrelevant to the modern world. in developed countries, the vast majority of people plugged into cell phones and internet, why do we have to be under a system thats from a time when most people were not even literate? most modern governments of wealthy developed countries were formed prior to the development of modern technology, and it had become the norm in the establishment of these countries to develop a system of political representation for citizens in the form of politicians as democratic systems emerged.
and so, functionally, politicians are meant to represent us in government, correct?
internet and cell phones let basically all people communicate instantaneously all the time, and the average amount of education a person receives today is probably not so different than the average politician received a century ago.. and even right here right now i am representing my own ideas thanks to this technology and education..
like the factory worker whose function, supplanted by technology, is quickly being made obselete by robots, so are politicians can we not use things like ssl and https to build something to replace make politicians obsolete? i dont think many will argue that they perform well in their function, and could not use an upgrade. we can replace government buildings in capitals with a secure domain for everyone to have a hand in governing, or at least the opportunity if they care enough to want it. the USA is considered a democratic republic because we have a system where a few vote for the rest, and yet its government loves to place the democratic ideal above all else. what would more democratic than having more people voting more?
we all already have a digital representaton of ourselves that exists simply in our bitcointalk forum user accounts. why not extend the arena to government as well?
what is the need for politicians?
in the USA, career politicians spend their entire lives advancing through ranks in government (and probably have better job security than you do). their only job is to keep their corporate sponsors happy so they that can continue to look good when they need to be re-elected. they might as well dress like nascar drivers with the jumpsuits with all the logos and brands on them... and its not like people are not already aware of this even. the existing political ecosystem in which political correctness is the rubric by which politicians are elected and fired, but it has very little to do with their actual function as our government.
government for and by the self-same people would take care of this need, i think.
this idea just continues to seem increasing obvious to me, but it just seems we are constantly evolving to something increasing further from this and it all just seems so counterproductive. can progress happen, or are we just entrenched into the current state of bullshit?
politicians have been ruining too many things i care about lately.. its all hidden agendas and doublespeak. its becoming increasingly necessary to be oddly reminded that its not actually their job to progressively make things worse
i cant remember the last time my government (in the USA we all hail an orange mammal whose specialty is split between being an agressive twit on twatter and an emotionally-stunted 12 year old) acted with integrity, possibly because it was before i was born.

Basically we need politicians to bring out the best in a country but not it's just full of drama and controversy. Politicians nowadays fight against themselves, instead of focusing on their each others task.
It has been almost a year already since I decided to stop using facebook. Tell you what, It feels great not seeing all these showbiz personalities, the faces of these stupid politicians, the drama etc...Would you quit facebook?, just try it and I assure you of one thing and that's "Reality".
You can adjust your feed to see exactly what you want.
Let me know when there is an alternative to FB for keeping in touch with old contacts...
You have the option to deactivate your facebook account but you messenger is still active.
It is amazing how our children nowadays quickly learn how to use ipods,phones and computers.. But reading their textbooks they have many excuses,its hard for them to understand the topic and how to answer the question even the simple mathematical problems.. Any advice for a parent like me to handle this kind of situation?...
We cannot deny the fact that the technologies nowadays really affected the way we live, the way we interact with each other etc... It is best if you will not introduce a smartphone to your kid.

As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.
That is totally normal, the problem is that we tend to force things even though we don't really need it. Learn to appreciate things that are not seen by our naked eyes.
