Earth is not lala-land where everyone is happy dancing in a circle holding flowers, so it is obviously necessary for the West to have armies to protect themselves against the Russians, Moslems and maybe even the Chinese.

It's not lala-land because the people in power dont care whether it is or not. When these people stop being greedy and inhuman, 'lala-land' is do-able

But as long as people will have power, people will be greedy and inhuman. That's how we roll on this Earth, baby!

Yes, but if people keep saying 'thats what humans do!' and just accept that as a reason why we should never try to be equal, etc. etc., it won't happen. It obviously can happen, since most men resist the primal urge to copulate with every woman they see, then and there; or fight/run to the bitter end when faced with danger.

But do you think it is do-able to prevent everyone from being "greedy and inhuman"? It is possible, of course, but not likely to happen anytime soon.

Chin HU Wa Takataka wishino kudu.

Translation: Earth is not a lala-land, it is necessary for China to have armies to protect themselves against the Muslims, Americans and maybe even the European.

Are you suck in the cold war? You don't honestly think the west is the only force in a world full of horrible, evil countries, like 'China' and 'russia'. Yes, every single Chinese person wants to drink our blood. The west is as war-mongering as any country that has power. Hell, probably the west is even MORE war-mongering then China and Russia combined, and on average probably more then the average Muslim.

Earth isn't a lala-land because A) people in power that will always be assholes B) people like you to be happy to believe that your country is the only one with virtues, and the others are all evil and you should defend yourself from then.

China and Russia and Arabic countries have lots of people that think exactly the same.

The West is the side that would benefit myself the most at this point, so I want the West to have the advantage and keep the other of Earth's powers at bay. I don't care what side that is the most war-mongering, and I think wars are good anyway (as long as I'm not affected negatively by it of course).

You have a very egocentric way of thinking. I don't mean that insulting. I understand where you are coming from. I used to think 'what is wrong with war, along as it doesn't effect me?' as well. However, if everyone thought like that, the world would be horrible. Be being kind to others, you are in a way helping yourself. The more people there are that are kind to others, the bigger chance is that you one day will be needing of help, and will recieve it.

If everyone thought as you, you wouldn't even be saved if you were drowning, no one would help you if your house burned down, everyone would be corrupt.
