| Wars. Healthy or Destructive | Started by: Jaybee on Dec 18, '07 08:57 |
|
After walking along the Chicago streets for some time, Jaybee, having recently been promoted to Goomba, was kicking a can along the streets, when turning a corner he saw a soapbox, with a homeless man's feet up against it, he approach the man and spoke into his ear "Do you mind if I borrow that for a few minutes sir?" The man obliged, and Jaybee lifted his feet taking the soapbox, he wipes his hands down his trousers and places the soapbox on the edge of the street, trying ta gain attention from a few passer-byes, he coughs, still nobody looks round, so Jaybee shouts "OI!" To his surprise a few people turn their heads, and stop, not being offended by his rude calling. Jaybee then waves his arms for them to come closer, as they do he begins to speak "I have come to these streets today, to ask a question that will not take my long to ask you, but I would assume requires a longer answer, as do many of the questions bought here to these streets. The question I have come to ask you is" Jay draws his arms back in, and takes a deep breath "Wars, what do you think about wars? Are they healthy? Or maybe destructuve?" Jaybee pauses, as the crowd's overall facial expression tells him what a stupid question this was "Yes, yes, I know what you all are thinking, wars are obviously destructive, as they will no doubt end up with the take down of a few established people, maybe 1, maybe 5, it depends on the magnitude of the war itself. However, wars are not only destructive, they are also healthy too. Healthy? Yes, healthy, as they can be the only way to settle something and better the community, as we have just seen, with the death of Jay-C, RIP father. That war was, yes, destructive, leaving many people homeless, who were also killed soon after, but after hearing it from the other side, from the atatckers side, you think to yourself, it was a 'healthy' war, it was needed, as Moretay and his colleges explained, the take down of Jay-C was needed, thus prooving itself ot be a 'healthy' war, and bettering the community" The crowd's facial expression changes again, as a few get ready to give their input "But that's enough from me for the time being, I didn't come here to dictate what war should be like, I cam to ask your opinions of war. So, don't be shy, come on up and tell me what you think" Jaybee steps down from the soapbox, and takes it back over to the homeless person, who is still sleeping, he places it underneath his feet, just as he found it |

To me in this world of ours war is needed otherwise things would be rather stagnant. No war means there would be no risk or consequences when interfering in others affairs or disrespecting others. Our world boils down to 2 key ingredients which come hand in hand Violence and Money, where there is money there will be Violence. I also see the wars as respresentive of Darwins Law, if your weak then you have no right to be here. |

1. I like it when shit people die, be they leaders or otherwise, but especially leaders 2. I like it when good people die if I never/recently stopped liking them, be they leaders or otherwise, but especially leaders 3. I like it when I have caused the war and lots of people die, usually because of some lie/gossip/slightly true but mostly not story, be they leaders or otherwise, but especially leaders 4. I like it when everyone dies because organic turnover is good and crappy leaders usually lead to stagnancy like dirty poo water 5. I like it when people die and they have the opinion that war is bad and damages our world, be they leaders or otherwise, but especially leaders 6. I like it when peole die who claim that "wars scare new mafioso away" because we all know that people like killing and "playing the mafioso life" (ooc: roleplaying) is about as popular as my left testicle dipped in rotten fishfinger. 7. I like it when a massive war starts and people die and then suddenly basically every mafioso of all time is awake and criming like no end but then "playing the mafioso life"ites come out crying. I love it even more when they get shot and stop talking. So yeah, I like most instances of war. Does that cover it? |

Plato once stated, "only the dead have seen the end of war" and I take it to the most extreme. Wars are meant to be the last solution to any problem. Dieing in this life is the ultimate sacrifice. Its the only real way to get out of it. War can both destructive and healthy. Yes the destructive part of war is dieing and/or the loss of close friends. Once a Boss/Crew Leader goes down, its time for the little guys to train their guns. This is the healthy part of war. Training a gun to defend your family is in my eyes the ultimate loyalty you can have towards something. Shooting and knowing to become a target soon is not something for the faint hearted. War is necessary for many reasons but should be the last resort. I hope my opinion to war is a good one to hear amongst us. |

The example you have given wasn't even a war. It was a hit. Had the assassination of Jay-C failed and his family been in a position to retaliate then it would have been a war. As it stands it was a hit on a leader followed by some opportunistic strikes against his followers but it was not a war. I believe the more important question is: "Is the policy of assassination healthy or destructive?" To which I would reply: Yes. It can cause instability but it can also be likened to pruning a tree. Removing unwanted branches for example. |

| Wars and hits are unpleasant but also very necessary. A leader needs to protect there own interests and if another leader interferes there is only one measure to be taken, that leaders removal. | |

| One thing we can be sure of, is that every war gets rid of the weaker of the players. Thus we are all getting stronger the longer we survive, and I don't mean player accounts, I mean crews. The level that people need to build a crew to to be any where near formidable, is getting raised every day. | |
