First off, I do not think it is possible that all forms of war will end someday. Secondly, I think the tolerance is decreasing because so iety has resorted to other means for settling issues. The days when war was the first response to a dispute are far behind us, and we are still evolving.

How I wish it is really decreasing. I've never really thought of this, but on a second thought, the more I think the tolerance of war is decreasing, theore ialso think war is been tolerated.

The tolerance for war you're referring to is the ability to see war for what it is. People are gradually realizing that fighting is not the greatest answer to problems. While battle was once a big method to show oneself in society, it is now merely an impediment to what you could be. so, yes, the tolerance for war is decreasing with the newer generations.

To entirely eradicate war will be a very challenging endeavor. Unintentional infringement will always occur because people always prioritize their own interests over those of others.

I think the more you know, the least likely you are to support wars overall.

War cannot be eliminated from this world. Humans are bound to chaos. The world is still reckoning with the effect of the world wars in the past decades and that's the reason the world seems a bit peaceful now in my opinion.

The fact is that our generation wants the tolerance for war to decrease, but it's not decreasing, this is because each country is producing weapons that are not even available in the olden days. These weapons are then used in competing for power among each other which leads to a vital war that is more than before.

I don't think it is that easy to eradicate war. Those that lived through WWI and WWII could tolerate the Vietnam war because they were familiar with the it's horrors and the latter war was small. To do away with fighting, we need to rid ourselves of our greedy and selfish nature.

I do not think any one person tolerates war if you are in the right state of mind. I do not believe that war would ever be eliminated because it is not up to the people, it is up to the governments and governments love to show their power and authority over people.

I will say our tolerance for war is decreasing compared to the olden days. Though, many countries of the world still experience war as it can not be eliminated. However, many people nowadays pray against the loss of loved ones and their lives. There is more to enjoy in life today than in those days.

My extensive research has led me to the conclusion that the battle will never end because there are too many people who desire dominance and world conquest. Our levels of tolerance, in my opinion, fluctuate somewhat. Nevertheless, there have been numerous wars in recent years that either no one is aware of or about which they show little concern. How many of us actually go outside of our own lives and pay attention to the conditions in the rest of the globe, unless the media urges people to get outraged?

From my point of view, the tolerance of war has indeed been decreasing as every generation goes. I do not know if war would be eliminated in the future but I believe humanity put the aftermath of war into consideration.

I feel our generation is now civilized to realize there’s no gain in war. It’s just more bloodshed and pain. Our generation uses more of diplomacy.

Yes, I think that the tolerance for war is decreasing with the generations and war is something that is inevitable because man will always be in conflict with himself and the people around him as long as he lives.
