Popular Post Collymore Posted 1 October 2024 Popular Post Posted 1 October 2024 (edited) I feel that 99.9999999% of people want peace and love with their neighbours. The more people I speak to as I get older, given the opportunity to travel a bit and have a bit more wisdom than I had in the past - I tend to ask more important questions. Humanity I believe is very forgiving and positive. For some reason the media and people in power don't want that narrative. Edited 1 October 2024 by Collymore 6

Guest kristianity77 Posted 1 October 2024 Posted 1 October 2024 I say just let them all get on with it over in that part of the world. The sooner the planet gets rid of all these “my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend” people, the world will be a more peaceful and better place. For all the technology and science we have going on today, some people hold on to antiquated thoughts and ideals it’s unreal

The trouble is, there's probably no money in peace to either the media or the people in power so the rest of us are just pawns. 1

Mind you if there is one thing we have learned in the past decade it is that Woking Borough council could be relied on to make the wrong decision in almost every situation.

It's rapidly being imported into the west hence the rise of the right across Europe.

That story you've mentioned here was one in my mind at the time of my original post, as first read on that case via the BBC. 1

MPH Posted 2 October 2024 Posted 2 October 2024 Not sure if anyone saw any of the vice presidential debate last night? JD Vance was far more articulate and could explain more and policy focused in 5 minutes than either Trump or Harris was in the whole debate. Whether what he said was agreeable or not is a different story. Republicans definitely have their Trump replacement. Waltz for sure got better further into the debate on topics he felt more strongly on. They were both fully focused on attacking both of the presidential nominees, not each other which was intresting. And it was a lot more civil and respectful which I appreciated more.

This is nit-picky I know, it's to make point using hyperbole, but I'd happily wager my house that more than 0.0000001% of the worlds population are in some kind of military. Ok, so because you're in the military doesn't necessarily mean you don't want peace, but the fastest and easiest way to achieve that is for everyone to lay down arms. N.B. I just checked (cos I'm definitely on the spectrum ) 0.0000001% of the world's population is 8 people. If they were the only people who didn't want peace, I think we could handle that. Unfortunately not

LiberalFox Posted 2 October 2024 Posted 2 October 2024 Israel and the Palestinians both want peace, it's just they disagree over what peace should look like. They both care so much about peace that they've been at war with each other in some form since 1948.
