A clash of civilizations occur when one group of people decide that it's worth it to kill another group of people for whatever odd reason they so choose, while the other comes to a similar agreement.


If it's only one sided, it's called Genocide.

War happens when someone wants something.


A clash of civilizations occurs when the death of the other civilization is your number one desire.

Prove me wrong.



Have you ever hated someone, for no reason at all?  They didn't steal your girlfriend, didn't cheat off of you, didn't do anything exemplary...  You just hate them for no reason?



That's a clash of civilizations.

Sounds more like a person with personal issues rather than a "clash of civilizations".

Sorry junior, bu you couldn't be more wrong.

When 2 (or more) civilizations come into direct contact and have conflicting morals, goals and behaviors there is a "clash of civiliizations". It could be as simple as Mexicans not assimilating into the American mainstream, or it could be as destructive as Cortez meeting the Aztecs.

I'm just trying to figure out how to hate someone for "no reason at all."

"I hate that guy."

"Why?"

"Dunno, just do."

"Did he do anything to you?"

"No."

"Then why do you hate him."

"I just do."

"That makes no sense!"

"Hey man, back off!  You're really beginning to irritate me!"

"Do you hate me now?"

"No."

Geez I too was in game thought mode...not wanting to get sucked into a philosophical discussion about whether or not this group of people wants to destroy that one. Even though that is how I generally play strategy games even in the "diplomatic" mode.
