Answer a Question with a Question...

[StarSong]

Wouldn't it depend on what dangers were presented by their immediate environments?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is it better to just concern yourself with simply surviving, and let others worry about the bigger issues?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you have enjoyed being a politician and having the right to decide the bigger issues ?

 

[StarSong]

Would you rather live in a nation where the politics weren't so strongly divided?

 

[Rosemarie]

If a country is too absorbed in its own problems, isn't there a danger of a surprise invasion?

 

[hollydolly]

Can you imagine what it must have been like when the Romans invaded ?

 

[StarSong]

Isn't absolute powerlessness against an overwhelming external force difficult to imagine, despite it occurring repeatedly throughout ancient and modern history?

 

[Rosemarie]

Shouldn't all countries be prepared for attack from outsiders?

 

[hollydolly]

Growing up did you believe you would see another world war in your lifetime ?

 

[RubyK]

Isn't a war happening somewhere around the world all the time?

 

[Gemma]

Wouldn't it be nice if there was no war and our service men & women came home?

 

[StarSong]

What if the rallying cry of the 1960s had caught on - What if they gave a war and nobody came?

 

[Rosemarie]

Although many people say they disapprove of war, surely there are times when it is the only solution?

 

[hollydolly]

If there was another world war, and you were of age, would you enrol...?

 

[StarSong]

Wouldn't you look closely at exactly what the war was about?

 

[Rosemarie]

Surely it's just as vital to have a civil defence organisation?

 

[hollydolly]

Did members of your family fight in any of the wars ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Doesn't all our generation have grandfathers who took part in the last war?

 

[StarSong]

In answer to Holly's question, yes, my father and his brothers served in Europe during WWII. My father-in-law and his brothers served in the Pacific.

Do you find that more recent wars have far less clarity of purpose than WWII?

 

[RubyK]

Don't you know that wars are mostly caused by religion?

 

[Rosemarie]

Surely most wars are caused by a megalomaniac who wants to take over the world?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you feel comfortable discussing religion or politics outside of your own family group

 

[StarSong]

Do you think wars would be far fewer and much shorter if most political and religious leadership positions were filled by women?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think that in many ways these days, women are often just as aggressive or even more so than men ?

 

[StarSong]

Not when it comes to warmongering and killing. Do you?
