Hi!!

Just though you guys could use a dose of reality here. Look forward to hearing from you out there!

 

interesting name... welcome!

 

I'm supporting the sport.

 

Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity, ya know?

 

Very little peace has ever been achieved without the sword!

 

Real peace can't be given or taken away with a sword.


It can only be bought on e-bay

 

Or whored out on the corner of Hollywood and Vine

 

We will never have universal peace until each nation is satisfied with the piece it has.

 

or each person

 

so why do we have to go cause problems in other people's PIECE and cause so much murder?

 

The point is: Very, very few will ever be happy with their piece. The rest of us will submerse ourselves in the endless struggle for 'best piece'.

There is no philosophy to fix it, there is no formula. People compete, period.

 

Becuz we're 5% of the worlds population using up 30-40% of the resources.

It's hard to get the rest of the world to go along with that without leaning on them a little (or a lot)

 

Right....once again with the "evil Ameica" crap. We also vaccinate those people (OUR $8/bil year isn't free), gave them power, keep their neighbor from invading them, would stop a genocide on their people*, helped move them out of tribal societies, discovered "rights", and a endless list of things that the US has contributed to the world. Now we put their populous to work, how bad can we get.

*Exemption: If Bill Clinton is President, then genocides will continue as scheduled. (Cambodia, Rwanda, Iraq)

 

*Laughs*This reminds me of that scene from MPs "Life of Bryan";

"What have the Romans ever done for us?"
"Plumming?"
"Umm..yes plumming, but besides pumming?"
"Artcitecture?"
etc.


yup, we feed our livestock, can't eat em if they get sick and die or if somebody else kills em.

 

I'll agree that Rwanda and Burundi may have been Clinton's biggest failure. Few Americans know that just as the massacres began in Burundi, he visited and pledged immediate full military support, only to later reneg completely on his pledge.

However, I will never concede to any philosophy which suggests that things are the way they are simply because they are that way and that nothing will ever change. If I truly believed that in my heart, I would tie a rope around my neck.

Change is in fact the great constant. All life is in perpetual flux and I believe that one day, mankind will learn to live in peace. Harmony? maybe not. But peace, yes. I believe peace is attainable.

 

welcome, HH


your bio says you don't like hippies; what's a hippie to you, and why do you so specifically hate them?

 

Hehe - help, I'm being oppressed!

(ok, so that's not Life of Brian...but it just popped in my head)

 

"D,ya see 'em oppressin' me?"

"How'd he get to be King anyway?"
"I didn't vote for 'em"
