HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

Gang Wars V Nation Wars

What do you think of the differences between gang wars and military wars?
Personally I think that they are both the same just that gang wars are scalled down versions of military wars. Both contain soldiers, weapons, violence, desire for land, power, respect, both use colors, both have hierarchies, leaders, terrorize areas of the world, and fight for protection.

Military wars are more important and make more sense. Oh and, and effect the world much more.

Well like I said gang wars are just Nation wars on a smaller scale for instance gang wars effect the city or district. And how does war make sense in general?

Well, for instance, WWII made a hell of a lot more sense than two LA gangs going at each other.

hmmm

Alright. Let's look at the American Revolution war. Americans fought for their independance. On the other hand, gangs just fight for meaningless things that don't affect anything really, such as money or "power".

Gang wars are like presidential elections but with violence.

umm I can counter that stuff.

For instance Gangs do break off for indepence. There are several cases where people are being extorted by gangs so they join together to drive the other gang out. Thats fighting for a cause. Not to mention that affects the community around them.

I would compare Gangs and Gang "Wars" to those stupid militias in Africa. They are ill-trained, ill-equipped, and ill-led. I want to clarify that by gang it is meant as those stupid buffoons. that run around not good organizations like the Mob and Mafia.
The heart should only exist to pump blood to the brain and rest of the body anything else is a waste of time and energy.

Love and Hate are only impediments to the human condition.

Imagine what could be accomplished if only the human race could shed our humanity.

When the facts change, my mind changes. What do you do, sir?

Well, that's like two brothers fighting against their abusive parent. That affects the whole house, but not really a war.

Seriously dragon how many times do I have to say this? I'm saying that the wars are of a smaller scale. But they are the same thing. Also to Rommel I'm talking about gangs in general so mafia wars and cartels are also involved. Also not to mention there have been nation wars where soldiers where ill equipped , ill trained, and no experience.

I don't consider "gang wars" to be real wars.

Then my arguement with Rommel in the other thread was useless.
If gang wars arent considered wars then animals do not have wars.

Gangs warrant mention, however, they are far more prevelant on the local scale. For instance, which one are you more affected by in the news? Iraq, or a gang murder?

They both have thier place, not that I agree with either of them.
Technically.... gangs could be militias, unruly and dangerous ones abeit.....

Did anybody say Mussollini's Italy?
