​Daily Literary Quote
“In Flanders Fields the poppies blow 
Between the crosses row on row, 
That mark our place; and in the sky 
The larks, still bravely singing, fly 
Scarce heard amid the guns below.”
  • Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

Yes it’s necessary to have war because everyone has to reinstate there dominance after a while.

No it is not necessary but as humans it is our last resort in solving an argument. We turn to violence when there is nothing else to turn to.

I don’t think that war is necessary. We say war is used to solve problems and make decisions, but it often does the opposite. There are many different ways to come to an agreement that we don’t even treat as an option.

I personally don’t think war is necessary. We are all humans and I know everyone says that but it’s like we are just killing ourselves off. People might not agree but it shouldn’t lead to killing each other.

Yes war can be necessary. When people can’t figure things out nicely then war is what we result to. If people could be reasonable then war wouldn’t be an option.

I think war is necessary but only in some cases. If it is a very last resort and neither country will agree than yes, but if there’s alternatives than no.

I don’t think war is necessary in all circumstances. We use it as a way to overtake or defend. Creating dominance isn’t necessary but we like to dimit anyway. That’s why we fight.

In some ways i think war is necessary. But as like a last resort type of thing. I also think it is necessary if it is for a good cause.
