no, there was a show depicting what would happen when humanity is gone. they whole world goes crazy. any surviving wildlife would be in peril. Wildlife survives in an environment that is independent of us. If we are extinct the environment will remain this way and life will continue to adapt. The only life that depends on us are domesticated animals and cultivated plants, who would likely go extinct in most cases. Side: yes
Can we do away with conflict? No. Can we develop better and better conflict resolution methods? Yes “True peace is not the absence of conflict: it is the prevalence of non-violent conflict.” ~ atypican If violence is viewed as "the violation of X" then one must consider what it is that the philosophy of non-violence seeks to leave inviolate. Since the ordinances of political or religious institutions are so often merely in place to serve overly narrow interests, there are often times situations where our personal "ordinances" (individual morality) should trump those codified by institution X Avoiding conflict, in the interest of "peace" is merely cowardice. well those are the thoughts (of questionable relevance) that pop into my mind thinking about the debate title.

Yes. War is often caused by one group having something the other group wants, or doesn't want them to have, i.e. oil, weapons, certain religions, governments, freedoms (lack thereof), and more. These wars could have been prevented by a logical, diplomatic debate and agreement, rather than the oft-too-rash aggressiveness. Contrastingly, you could have a somewhat Orwell-ian influenced look, where war still exists, but it does not effect the people, to their knowledge. Side: yes
