Everyone asks for peace in the world. Don't you think that it is over-rated?

Armies, and wars in general, are needed as a natural part of human evolution. When you look at war from a long-range perspective, it becomes clear that, as destructive as wars are, their very destructiveness has served as the primary force for the evolution of the human race. By mercilessly elimnating those who were unable to survive in the theater of war, wars resulted in a constant upgrading of both the physiological and intellectual acuity of man.\n\nAlthough many bright people perish in wars, the preponderance of the casualties occur among people with the limited intellectual capacity to understand the mechanics of wars and who are thus unable to avoid becoming casualties.\n\nWho would seriosly dispute the fact that smart people have higher living standards than intellectually less endowed persons do? War elimnates the intellectually less fit and thus, in the end, raises the average intelligence and the living standards of society as a whole.\n\nThroughout the ages, evolution took advantage of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, war, natural disasters, disease and famine.\n\nIf we succeed in eliminating armies and war, we are also eliminating war in its capacity as a powerful contributor to evolution by keeping the world population in check. We are now at 6 billion humans, scientific projections of growth predict 10 billion within 50 years...mostly in under developed countries. Humanity will reach the limits of available resources at 9-12 billion..this is not sustainable.\n\nWe can only speculate as to which path evolution will take in reducing the world from 10 to 3 billion. A battle for resources will favor those with higher levels of intelligence and rationality. Evolution never receds to irrationality, superstition and stupidity.

Humanity as an oppertunity to make this world wonderful and peaceful.  It is within our grasp and can be done.  Whether or not it is is entirely up to us.  But I don't think it will be done.  Too many people use things just to be hateful to others that aren't like them for it to happen any time soon.

You are too funny, but I completely agree with you.  I think people in this world should try minding their own business and celebrate whatever the hell they want to.  I do find that people take more pleasure out of minding everyone elses business instead of their own.

over rated.\ngays\nmonkeys\nafricans\ndrug addicts\nTell us how it affects the "real", nice clean society, today, 2006?\n(not toilet loitering, or oh, stood on a needle?)

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

No, the world would be a better place if everyone just believed in their own religion and stopped worrying about what other people are thinking and doing. As long as people follow the rules of their respective religions and we are all doing good then who cares if my neighbor is Wiccan or Buddhist or a Muslim or whatever! Live and let live people!!!

To be honest, I don't think it's fair at all.  The world should be for everyone, isn't it?  But people in power don't seem to think so.

Here is my opinion...From what I have seen, Pakistan has been (as a country) cooperative in dealing with violence and terrorism (the War on Terror, if you will...) But as previously stated, there are violent people in ALL societies. To believe that World Peace will ever happen, is a fantasy. I am not being negative, it is just not a possibility in this world. Everyone should look at people as individuals instead of lumping them together with the other people that live in their city, state, country, etc. I know I don't want to be judged based on the things my neighbors do! :)

I have found that a lot of people don't like to even talk about anything that has to do with politics for fear of making waves.  Seems that we all want to live our peaceful lives and as long as we aren't directly affected on a daily basis then ... who cares.

Trying to respect everyones' rights is a fool's errand. There are lots of people who will never think for themeselves unless you rattle their cage a little from time to time. Plus it's just plain fun to offend people, so long as you do it with a little respect.

I agree with you .\nWe all have desires ,for happiness , for survial , fame , etc even for points !\nSo our weak point is making us strive for points generally\nBut if you look at the brihhter side , i believe there are many people who are egtting help from it , knowledge with it etc .\nSome of them are sharing what they couldnt share with anyone , and getting their problems solved .\nAs long as it is serving humanity , its fine \nbest regards,\nSidra

so many have tried, more have failed. It is not in human nature to be tolerant and we allwant to control the other. So Alas, peace and understanding wil never happen , for each culture has its own rules and values and we are subjective to our perception to even come to an understanding of how an other cultre functions. Even the slightest difference in your states can cause conflicts... look at the juridical differences between states... \ndo I need to say more? \nWe wish and hope that is what thrives within us.

PEACE to the areas of the world in conflict.  \nCures for AIDS and CANCER will be available to EVERYONE regardless if they can afford it or not.\nHunger will not the the cause of death.\n\nNo more PREJUDICES against race, religion, sexual orientation in order for us to relate to one another on a human and personal level.  We don't need to be blinded by our differences but we have to respect each other for them.  If everyone was like us, it would be a boring world.\n\nNo more INJUSTICES.  The people who do crime are punished according and money will not BUY freedom.  Crimes against women and children will not be ignored.

I know this is difficult,but at least this is a good idea,peace is not granted,peace needs  the whole world work together,peace need no more hating,crying, dying and killing ,peace need the first step,the step with honesty,generosity,trust,harmony and love without boundaries,love from every races,genders,ages.\nBut,problem is who'll step out that first step?

The very first thing is to make yourself clear. If you can't make people understand you how can you make peace for the whole world!!!

Peace is always an option. If we have equal respect for all people and stop coveting other people's oil money, there can be peace. The US govt has made its share of mistakes and needs some correction.
