Why can't we just solve everything non-violently?

I think there's a lot of reasons we go to war. None of them really good enough for me, but one reason is greed.

because it's in the nature of all living (male) animals to fight and showoff what they can do to inpress others (females).

it's the reason why crickets are chirping
and why there is 1 dominant lion male per pack.
aswel for sport races and such.
and 2 guys fighting in a bar.
and also war.

Not really, the main reason is because someone wants one thing and another guy wants something else and since nobody is willing to let the other guy have what he wants instead of himself they fight over it.

nha you guys get me wrong there. i don't mean those are the only options. there are many ways we use it. when you like a girl and you know she isn't seeing anyone and then you see some guy flirting whit here. you do not just let it go. i mean if you like the girl you atleast will join the conversation between the the 2 and try to get her to like you more over the other. no? and sometimes it just happens to become a fight because there is lots of disagreement whit eatch other.

also i didn't ment to say that it was always involving girls.
just having fun whit friends do some sports, playing board games or video games. they are all competitive things we do evry day.

the ultimate is war.

Many people would love to solve things peacefully. However, there are religions, or religious interpreters, who believe war is necessary to serve the religion. There are greedy people.

I think war should be the last option. How do you get the most stubborn people to move? By force, or scaring them not through talking because they'll object every time.

Or they both want the same thing and someone didn't learn to share.

The thing is that nobody likes sharing. I bet you have refused to share many times. And imagine if it's over something big like the what the modern day countries fight over.

Someone gets this part. The other person gets the other. But they do it in a way that helps them out more or less fairly.

I don't mind sharing most of the time. If it can only help people then why not?

Dair your profile pick gets me messed up XD.
Anyways that splitting of land never works because there are so many variations like resources, geography, transportation, etc. And even if they do split that way will people really follow those borders?

I bet that there were many times like when you're sitting there and your little brother asks for some of your favorite candy, you wouldn't just say "oh sure" and the big countries fight over big stuff anyways. Nobody likes sharing.
