No. 8: War

Give me a break, people. When is the last time there was a decade without some sort of war-worthy tension between two or more nations? Well, there wasn't. Depending on what type of person you are, if you're in a grocery store, and your toddler has a lollipop, and some douchebag knocks it out of the toddlers hand, causing him or her to cry hysterically, you'll probably lay down a cussing. If you wouldn't, then I suppose you will think about how proud of yourself you are for being the "bigger man" as you buy your all organic groceries and carry them out to your Prius in those reusable grocery bags that I hate so much. But for those of you who would lay down a cussing, that's generally why there's always war. That doesn't explain the war, but it shows why there can never be a world without war, unless of course we just blow the countries who are habitual line-steppers up. Without war there can't be peace. Some areas of the world are destined to be warring. Without war, playground bullies would hijack countries, and, well, attempt to take over the world. But even that wouldn't work because one playground bully/hijacker would declare war on the opposing playground bully/hijacker. It's deep stuff.
