Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Hungarian uprising, El Salvador, 1973, 1967, 3 Lebanon wars etc. More people probably died in the cold war, then the first and second world war. Not to mention the damage to economies caused by run away military budgets.
Too deep for this early in the day. But you have a very good point.
Has their been a time in modern history when no country was at war?

Yep.
All through fear, misunderstanding, misrepresentation and insecurity.
- and then those bloody kids of today will insist on tooling themselves up with guns and knives.
- why would they possibly think that is the right thing to do, Doh.

My answer would probably result in accusations of racism, so let's just say that they're idiots with poor role models.
Maybe if we gave hoodies atomic weapons, it would create a cold war situation, with no actual violence?
Or we could give them free holidays to the south or France, then Nuke them... Two problems solved.

Errr, yeah - my point exactly - Us? Government?

Oh, please do expand on that! I could do with a row. I didn't think there was any implication of relevance to race here?

No, there wasn't. Not yet anyway. 
Dog racing. How does this continue? You'd think the dogs would have enough sense after a couple of races to realise they aren't going to catch the hare. Dogs have a certain level of cunning, you'd think they'd realise. There isn't any incentive for them, either, it's not as if there's a jockey on board. It just relies on their keenness and stupidity.
I'd like to see it done with some cats and a fish. Now that would be interesting.
Don't they get treats at the end?
Dogs are stupid anyway, and should be destroyed.
Is that right? I wonder what they give them.
