Another deep thought brought to you in part by megadeath and the good people at Rockstar games...

Peace like communism in theory works, but honestly... How many of you would even be interested? I often wonder this as no matter how hard our sense of taught "kindness" urges us to be civil isn't there a small part of all of us that would just want to shoot themselves if such a thing were to come to pass?

Let's face it.. No matter how hard we all try or occasionally want to get along if that were even an option would you?

Nah, horrible though it may be, I'm amused by conflict. If everyone got along things would get way too boring.

Here's a little thing I go by...

1960's: "Give Peace a Chance"
Now: "Gave Peace a Chance"

If the entire world was civil/no sin since the begining of time, many of us wouldn't even be born.

Peace doesn't work. If there's political peace, there will be social wars, because humans always feel the need to create conflict. I think it's because we like to see who/what is the best at the end of it. It's that chaos vs. desire theory that keeps us alive, as I try to talk about in my stories but I don't think I'm being very good at explaining here...

This is what I say, "There will always be someone to cause problems. So if we say 'Kill all who cause problems, then we will be in peace.' I say 'WTF?!?!?!?! YOU SOLVE PROBLEMS BY KILLING PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?' "

Whoever says violence solves problems deserves to be dragged out in the street and shot.

it's possible

there's probably 0.0000000000000000000000000001% chance peace will come in the next 100000000000000000000000000000 years, but it can happen.

Peace is just about unattainable. But I try and be civil towards other.

All I can hope is that everyone would be at the very least as kind as I am to others. I'm non-violent, but the media has to keep our blood-thirsty cravings in check by making over-the-top movies and such.

Violence will never go away, because it's a part of us, and the more we try to reform and confort ourselves into the perfect society, the more sadistic and violent we will become. We all need to vent our anger and primal urges out somehow, so when buisness men get really mad they usually kill someone. Instead they should get laid or go hunting or something, that way they have relieved their mind of all the tension.

In older days wars were common, and town folk would be killed for stealing and stuff, so all of the people go their violence out. And as crazy as I may sound, I'm correct. Just think about it for awhile.

I believe that peace is not attained by violence. But the day that peace is attained will be a great day for all of mankind

Human nature is not peaceful. Mankind has had thousands of years to try and make peace and it has not happened. Only the hopelessly optomistic believe that peace is attainable through human means.
