    Nothing you said was too philosophical, but this is what I didn't want to start here. Anyways, here's just some food for your brain...

    Although not without some fallacy, here is one of several good arguments for war being an invention of mankind: http://www.ppu.org.uk/learn/infodocs/st_invention.html

    To take a cue from you... Whether you agree or not that war is strictly speaking an invention or is simply a natural human response doesn't matter here, war is one of those things that just shouldn't exist.

    Necessity is the mother of invention... and invention is the mother of necessity. Example: In the very early days of oil drilling, refiners used to pour some of we now think of as gasoline into the ground or just burn it in pits because they saw gasoline as an unwanted byproduct of their quest for kerosene. When the combustion engine was invented and later became more commercially viable, gasoline found a use.

    here is a little philosophy on war...

    The concept of state of nature was posited by the 17th century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan.[1] Hobbes wrote that "during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man" (Leviathan, ch. XIII). In this state any person has a natural right to the liberty to do anything he wills to preserve his own life, and life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" (loc. cit.). He believed that in the international arena, states behave as individuals do in a state of nature.
    Within the state of nature there is no injustice, since there is no law, excepting certain natural precepts, the first of which is "that every man ought to endeavour peace, as far as he has hope of obtaining it" (Leviathan, ch. XIV); and the second is "that a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defence of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men as he would allow other men against himself" (loc. cit.). From this, Hobbes develops the way out of the state of nature into civil government by mutual contracts.
    Hobbes described the concept in the Latin phrase bellum omnium contra omnes, in his work De Cive.

    ~~~ Thomas Hobbes (this was taken from Wikipedia)
    (Read Part of one of Leviathan)

    We as humans are passionate beings and thus will attack and kill each other if left our own devices (with no laws and no government, IE a State of Nature). If there are no laws there will only be war.

    Right, chicks dug dudes with bellies. It showed they were well fed which meant they were wealthy and would be a good suitor.
