  • War is also a cultural entity, and its practice is not linked to any single type of political organization or society.

      War wasn't created by government or society.
  • In the organised military sense, a group of combatants and their support is called an army on land, a navy at sea, and an air force in the air.

      If warfare tactics change, will the weapons change also?

      War is not all about just killing, it involves strategies too.
  • War is not necessarily considered to be the same as occupation, murder, or genocide because of the reciprocal nature of the violent struggle, and the organized nature of the units involved.

    What I noticed most about "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was that he had schizophrenia. I knew that he had passed away but didnt know the cause. I thought he had been hit by a car or died of heart attack. It turns out that he had a brain tumor and that was what had killed him. When the podcaster said, "Emmanuel had schizophrenia," I was thinking, what is schizophrenia? I searched this online and I found out that it was a mental disorder in which he would not react normally to certain situations. I think this is sad because as I read on of schizophrenia, the website said that as the illness continues, the person starts to hallucinate and become delusional. Another part that stood out for me was when the Flushing Pimp's sister told the interviewers that Emmanuel (aka the Flushing Pimp) had a brain tumor and he didnt believe it and thought it was just a headache. This stood out for me because he refused to believe that he was terminal. Some people would think that the Flushing Pimp was crazy and not like him. If they just knew him or talked to him or knew his past, they would probably think differently of him. He doesnt seem like a bad guy. Thank you for the podcast. I didnt know how the Flushing Pimp died before I saw this podcast.
