That is a stupid response.

War comes down to survival and power and those are the items for both.

Pillage and plunder are real things. My family will eat at your expense. Your stuff is now mine...if I am nice I will enslave you...if not you are dead.

Fancy ideas happen at UN levels but for the citizens embroiled in battles and being overrun in their towns it is much more elemental.

My family experienced it in Wwii.

Crazy people think that it's others that are crazy and that they're the ones with the sane minds. You use the word stupid while not recognizing that, it's you with the stupidity.

Civil wars, just like any other war, is not forever. And the survivors of civil wars are not all criminals and violent. Pillage and plundering will occur, during and after the war, but, if any kind of civilized people do survive, they will be the ones restoring civility and peace and law-and-order. The criminals will not be among the regular population.

Your kind of mindset belongs in Neanderthal times, when it was likely, kill or be killed, steal and survive, or hide and hope not to be noticed.

Z Have you notices that, after the American civil war, we got a peaceful and prosperous nation, with all sides eventually coming together to restore law-and-order? And, you didn't have to be there in the 1860s to notice how everything turned out.

Look in the mirror whenever you want to point at someone and call him or her stupid. Never thought there could be someone on FR as dense as you appear to be..
