How should humans settle differences instead of war?

Poll question: How should humans settle differences instead of war?

[Renew Deal]

1. Tug of War

It's in the name.

2. Dance off, Dance off, Dance off!!!!

I want the world's differences to be settled in a West Side Story style dance off!!!! Dammit!

13. I like the idea of a dance off too.

I think the leaders of the nations (Presidents) should have to have a dance competion live on TV to solve their conflicts. The UN can choose the style of dance and can judge. I think disco would be awesome. Bush could dance to "push, push in the bush". That would be great comic relief.

If dance offs were used to solved problems, then we'd probably vote for presidents based on their dancing skills. Wouldn't the world be a better place if this was how things were done?

4. Don't vote for Republicans!

Like, duh!

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I know, I know! I have the answer...

Farting contests.

[ixion]

6. by doing something, ANYTHING, other than killing

innocents.

It's always the civillians that pay most harshly for politicians who decide to make war.

7. Coloring contests

8. A friend thought up a way to have wars without anyone dying...

War by video game! Basically, each nation concerned gets a crack team of video game nerds and they play Diablo or Baldur's Gate or Halo over the Internet, and the country to whom the last man standing belongs in the winner.

12. Talk about your world power shake-ups.

South Korea and Japan would dominate, with the U.S. coming in a distant third. Would be cool though =)

[ZombieNixon]

16. Hey, Asia's already on its way to becoming a world power.

Once the Japanese take over, it's only a matter of time before wars really are conducted this way. :)

10. Pie fight at twenty paces...?

First thing that popped into my head.

[DBoon]

11. Golf

If it's good enough for corporate deal-making, it's good enough for nation states

[barb162]

14. the leaders duke it out (I would love to see shrub get black eyes,

a few bruises, a kick or two or three in the balls, etc...you get the
idea)

[NightTrain]

15. I say we fight wars not with weapons, but with comedy!

Instead of lobbing grenades at the enemy, we lob rubber chickens at them and shout, "YO' MAMA!!!" }(

17. Flip of a coin....

it seems to work at sports games....

[Telly Savalas]

18. American Gladiators...

is the obvious answer to all serious conflict resolution. I'm sure Turbo, Laser, and the gang would be happy to come out of retirement to help solve the world's problems.
