What could replace War?

[Rhymenoceros]

Did anyone watch Robot Wars as a kid...

You know the one where father son teams handbuild RC kill bots and make them fight...

Imagine that but with clever people building the robots...

And people inside the robots

Both parties must present their quarrel to the Council of Fancy Men (the Council of Fancy Men being a group with a bunch of individuals who have great reasoning abilities and have the most accurate moral compass).
Why should party A be given control, why not party B and vice versa. After points have been made the council decides which side is the best for all citizens and that party is the winner.

If both sides are worthless the land will be ruled by to the Council of Fancy Men.

Seriously, in this age war is very unfavourable to the citizens. There's a very high chance soldiers will die and the winner may be pure evil who will enslave everyone.

Also, ruling a place very well has NOTHING to do with skill. It's about reasoning and knowing what's best.
It's retarded to decide who wins by a game of chance or of muscle prowess.

Technically, the Nuclear Bomb ended war. with it's creation and first time use, people were scared shitless. Sure, we've had conflicts in the past (Vietnam, Korea) but nothing that would classify as a full-scale war.

True - this is why I'm not sure people who are dead-cert we should all destroy our nukes have properly thought things through.

It's not really peace though is it. It's more like stalemate based on fear. Although I wouldn't put that past Russia either.

 

[Caligulove]

Haha, isnt that the plot of one of the Street Fighters or some other fighting game? That the tournament is how they solve problems with other nations. One hell of a decadent society if that's all we had to worried about between countries, man.

More than anything, it would always be competitive. People like to be better than others. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Football? It's nationalistic and violent enough.

But America would always win! That's the problem, we created football.

He ment the one where you use your foot to kick the ball

Not your hand to throw the egg.

OH...woops i thought he meant HAND-FOOTBALL. well ya in that case Brazil or some place would always win.

I think if we did do "HAND-FOOTBALL" it would be more even. But if that didn't work out I say we use sticks that are hollow that fire metal projectiles using explosives, and vehicles that use treads instead of wheels that have a REALLY BIG hollow stick on top that uses explosive projectiles I have just mentioned.

An orgy. Whoever lasts longest, wins. The loser has to clean up the blood.

 

[Wildrow12]

G-Gundam.

Wars over territory, and political conflicts will be settled by screaming lunatics, wearing skin tight latex, who pilot offensive national stereotypes in arena fights.

Stalemates seem to last a lot longer than peace.

America is the only country in the world that actually cares about that kind of "Football" you know.

The rest of us play what you call "Soccer", but what is called Football by THE REST OF THE PLANET.

Catch the drift?

 

[randomrob]

Gladiator-style arena battles to the death. Or diplomacy. Or Nukes.

 

[Capachinola]

Probably just getting along like we probably should have done 19 quadrillion years ago when humans first walked out of the water or whatever.

yet still people are killing people? that is war surually

sex or peace. God knows people obsess about sex enough

Over 2 million men died in Vietnam. Show some respect, and get a dictionary. If that isn't a 'full scale war' then you're an idiot.

Arm wrestling competition amongst world leaders

 

[martin's a madman]

The next war replaces the old war. If that helps.

 

[Blimey]

Having several armies stand in muddy, dank trenches, occasionally popping their heads up to take some pot-shots at the other guys, also in trenches.

Oh wait...

I think what he means is multiple developed nations exchanging tough looks and bullets. Vietnam wouldn't classify as that because not to offend, but it's a country that most of the world doesn't really care all that much about.

I see what you did there.

There seems to be a grave misunderstanding of war. The way you're implying would be war is declared, the two parties have a fight, they declare a winner then go home for tea.
War is about one group of people going to last resort methods to achieve an objective (i.e. eliminate a dangerous leader) and the other side defending themselves.
Therefore nothing will replace war, it will always be a last resort.
