No one would agree with that though. "Oh, these teenagers best the military in a game of paintball, time to hand over the country." Oh or how bout this. "Oh, look ISIS beat us in a paintball match. They now rule the world.
True. Alternatively, we could just learn to get along. I'm mean, really, like with people on the internet. I've never met any of you, but I get along just fine. (for the most part).
It's idiotic to think that "getting along" with everyone is possible. It'd take a lot to eradicate the evil in this world for that to even partially be possible
It would be nice but it's not gonna happen. Too many people with too many issues who think their issues over ride everyone else's. Sometimes I think a monarchy with real power who has general interests in everyone desires could work . That is of course the monarch isn't a dick or anything
There are many reasons we by this is a bad idea, but the most obivious is this: if a country is willing to go to war over sonething, and loses, they are going to go to war anyway.
Sorry. Should say to war. War is on a keyboard actually pretty close to eat. And I clearly need to pay more attention to what I typed before hitting post.
It's just a shame that running a country and winning a fist fight to the death require slightly different skill sets, so you'd have to choose between one country invading you and enslaving your people or having someone completely incompetant as president.
so then your saying that this is a child's idea of peace. Yet this could save thousands of lives and let the governments of the countries focus on more important things.
That is something a child would say. If you pay attention to what goes on in the real world and have more experience seeing as how the world works and why, you would know the whole two leaders fighting each other won't work. What happens to all the citizens of the loosing side? Do they have to give up their lands and pay taxes to the victor? Would the economy of the defeated nation belong entirely to the winning country? If you think the two leaders will shake hands and move on get real.
War is the perfect opportunity to wipe out masses of people due to over population in the world. Harsh but true. War is never about saving lives. It's all about protecting your own citizens survival and of course your selves.
pretty sure even in the olden days when armies tried to settle things by choosing fighters to have one battle one death sometimes the losing side would go ahead and try the actual battle.
*Russia goes to war with everyone*
