Lumberg said:How does this compare to the Bubonic Plague of the 1300s, both in terms of raw numbers, and percentage of population killed.
One difference would be that the plague I don't believe discriminated, while war takes its toll on able-bodied men.
I dont know quite what your point is, I just stated the estimated death toll of WW2. What the plague killed roughly 140million people. And the 1917-8 influenza pandemic killed 25million in one year dwarfing the loss of life in WW1 which was I think 9 million. And in 1997 alone 20million people in the world died of starvation.
War isnt good, but you cant live in a fantasy world and think it doesnt happen and then not study the history and motives behind the conflicts. They arent as superficial as one thinks. Wars are started for very complex reasons and each war has at least a large book filled with the reasons why theyve begun. So I have refrained on this thread for even attempting to argue a side for war as it would just be useless argument masturbation as Id rather the person read it for themselves instead just making a knee jerk statement about wars and here's why I hate war with a blanket statement. Wars are never the same as another.
