Which one draws more emotional pain, painfulness, chance of death, etc. ?
i think its giving birth. *emotional pain* when a woman gives birth to a stillborn, its a pretty traumatic event. and yes, ppl die in wars, but theyre trained beforehand to handle the emotional part of it. like, feelings are not supposed to get in the way when they are killing. which is what enables a lot of them to kill in the first place. *painfulness* yes. getting your head shot off is pretty painful...but.... giving birth is reeeaaallly painful. and the chances of a head being shot off is pretty slim compared to the painfulness during delivery *chance of death* well, for this section, i'd have to give points to going to war. but overall, i think giving birth is worse than going to war. what do you think? |

yeah war is definitely worse..the pain of birth only lasts a while..the loss of a person in a war will last forever..yes, losses at birth are devastating, but like VaguelyAware said, millions die in war.

Wow. How can you compare things that are so different? You can't answer if child bearing is worse if you haven't gone through that. And you can't say war is worse if you haven't gone through that...You should title this what do you think is worse...Meh.

Well, put it in this perspective:
Would you rather.... Squeeze something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon? or Fight for something you believe in, yes, you might die/get injured, but you also are defending your country? Of course, there are positives to giving birth naturally. |

(If I did, I would probably be discriminated against...) So.. I guess that leaves only one real choice to the men. But, if giving birth had been given to both genders- I wouldn't know what to say. I don't like war, and I most likely wouldn't join in on one and I wouldn't like any crevice in/on my body to be wider than an inch. 'Cept for the mouth, which has to open more to eat (durr). |

Going to war means killing people to save others. And giving birth means giving life, even if it means sacrificing your own. So either way, in that context, they're kind of the same.

the essense of giving birth is not taking a life... it's giving one.
after a woman gives birth, she has years of joy. after a man comes home from war, his girlfriend's left him, he might be disabled, and he might commit suicide or go crazy. |

My teacher told me giving birth the most painfulest thing a person can go through. He had head surgery and the nurse asked him, on a scale 1-10 how painful do you feel? He said 8...she said well a woman giving birth would be 10. ehh i can't remember the story right. But IMO giving birth is better than going to war because giving birth you are giving life going to war you are taking life.

But risk must be taken because the greatest hazzard in life is risking-and reaching for-another life. |

I think it would be worse going to war. When a woman has a baby, sure it is painful and emotional, but she is giving birth to her child and she is happy when it is over with. When you go to war...it leaves emotional scars when u see ppl being shot around u...you make friends with these ppl that are serving the country with you, n the next day they get shot infront of you, and they could die in your arms, plus you are killing other men that are just trying to serve their own country and have their wife and kids at home, and u know your the reason for the kids to grow up without a father, and war affects the entire country, and kills so many ppl, and hurts so many ppls familys in the end. war is worse then childbirth

I guess maybe going to war, because the events that will happen will be sort of unexpected.
I mean, yeah. You're trained and stuff.. but do you know exactly when something bad is going to happen? Do you know if you're going to be injured ahead of time? Do you know if a friend will be injured ahead of time? No, you basically don't. With birth, you basically know what you're getting into. I mean, yeah. It could be stillborn and you basically know it's going to hurt a lot.. but it's not as unexpected. People don't die from giving birth barely at all anymore, so that's not a big worry. I'd have to say going to war is worse, overall. |

Thats a pretty ignorant comment considering America was founded on War and without it there would be no America as we know it today. Some of our great heroes were war veterans. George Washington and U.S. Grant becoming future presidents. Are they ignorant for being in war? Are they ignorant for fighting for a race's safety and fair treatment --slavery. Also to person who said getting you head shot off is really painful, its really not. If youre head is severed with one blow you wouldnt feel a thing. |

America only had one justified war -- the Revolution, where less than 5,000 people died. War is a product of ignorance nine times out of ten and desparation the other one time.
You can argue with me about the Civil War all you want, we should have let the South go... slavery would have been abolished in the South because of economic currents, and if you read the South's Constitution, they had many valid arguments and their constitution actually weakened the status of slavery by disallowing reimportation. |

War is worse. Not only is the person dead / hurt; so is the family&friends. When you are giving birth; only you feel the pain. But all that pain is worth it in the end. But in war; the Family&friends are hurt&they'll feel that pain for the rest of their lives.
