When will realise our mistakes as a species and rectify them?(Such as war)?

"We" cannot as there will never be consensus on issues such as war, religion etc\n\nThe best that "we" can hope for is to do our personal bit to make things better.\n\nPeace Out

Hang around for a few more years, and you may find out th eanswers.  I am sure we will survive as a species, we are very good at adapting.  Whether we survive as a civilisation is a different matter.\n\nCan we change it?  Possibly not.

Sadly, I believe we probably will bring about the end of all things we know and love (or hate!). I think it's high time that we stop trying to "out-succeed" our fellow human beings and remember what life is truly about- treating others the way we ourselves want to be treated. I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY, WE, AS HUMAN BEINGS, WILL FINALLY LEARN TO LOVE, ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER-- and to realize that we are really all the same on the inside. Perpetuate the love! (By the way- I'm really not what others would consider "A tree-hugging hippie"! I just want people to spread more kindness & goodness around them.)

This planet will only ever be at peace when it no longer exists.\n\nMankind is a violent creature.\n\nMaybe the time for peace will be when the nuclear winter/artificial virus has finished off a vast majority of the populace. \n\nTherefore the responsibility of the individual is to prepare for such events.\n\nTrain your body and mind. Converse with intellectuals. Become someone who is valued in the community and recognised as a leader.\n\nArmageddon draws ever nearer with each hour that passes....

I don't think so.  Not indefinitely.  There are ways to put it off, but it will come sooner or later.  Look back in history.  It's always been here.  Why do we think we can stop it now?  Besides, it's in our nature from birth.  We fight for what we think is ours or the way things should be.  Be it the toy in the nursery when we're one or the seat at the lunch table when we're seven or eight, all the way up to the land we think should be ours as an adult.  Think of it like this.  If someone barged in to your home, started taking things that were yours and told you how you should act and live there, would you fight back?  Or would you be "peaceful" and let them have their way?

Humanity will be lucky if they get a viable breeding population established off planet to ensure Human survival in the face of natural or man-made disaster here on Earth. You probably haven't got a chance to even colonize your Moon or Mars.  Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species.  Your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you and neither does your penchant to breed beyond your planet's ability to sustain you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

No...it is the fault of the human race.  Ignorance and hate.

yes, and more peope should, if only people could understand just exactly what is going on , and how are thoughts and energy when negative are all to blame for natural disasters as well as war. If only we understood where we really came from and our true purpose, we could save ourselves from an ugly ending that has been repeated over and again by our forefathers

times without peace are always setting us back in terms of progress. not only do wars physically damage the earth and the buildings of a place, they also do severe and often intergenerational psychological damage to people who are subjected to it. (soldiers and civilians alike.) it causes a rippling outward wound that takes years and years to recover from. \n\ni wonder what certain countries would be like if they hadn't suffered under years of warfare?: Afghanistan, Cambodia, Iraq, Somalia... \n\nalthough technology often moves forward as a result of wartime funding, there is often great wastage of money which would be better spent on raising the standard of living. just look at the defense budget of the US, ponder the numbers of corporations and public officials who are subsequently caught for stealing that money one way or another, and then look at the education budget. \n\nif people truly believed in peace, if they stopped looking at the world through "gotta get mines" kinda glasses, then maybe we could stop wasting our time always always trying to recover from the five steps back we just took.

We had a natural disaster.  We learned for a period.  And then we went back to our normal habits.  We had a terrorist attack.  We learned for a period and went right back to our old habits.  Some one said to set an example.  And she is right.  If we do as we want to be treated its a start.  Teach our children these same values its a start.  If we think we a disposable, then we will be treated as such.  If we think we are replacable, then we will be.  See what I mean.  Examples and behavior is the key.  Its slow in coming but its the best we have.  Disasters dont teach us perminantly to change.  It takes patience.

Yes I do!  I wish that we could all love one another.  I wish we could share what we have with those that have nothing.  To think in this "modern" age there are still wars and babies starving makes me despair.  How would I do this?  This is an age old problem which has yet to be solved.  The only solution is to ensure we take an active part in electing competent leaders who share our utopian vision.  If we do nothing, we only have ourselves to blame!

I don't think it'll ever be fully reconciled, but it will be closer than it is now.  It seems the pendulum of thought is swinging back toward the dark ages at the moment :(

I can't believe playtoofast's answer.  The way to avoid war is to ruin the whole planet in order to 'save' the planet?  (we only have one atmosphere and if you haven't noticed its already pretty damaged already)  Besides, who are we saving the planet from?  People who you don't like?  Tsk Tsk\n\nAnyway just because war is and has been a part of human activity for a long time, it is never inevitable.  As soon as we think it is then we allow ourselves to take another step down the road to war.\n\nHumans can do whatever they want to do.  Each generation seems to forget the incredible stupidity and suffering attached to warfare and begins it all over again out of ignorance and ego.\n\nIf we can spread education and spread compassion for differing points of view then we can achieve peace.  It starts with each of us controlling our own negativity.

We are all human and make mistakes. Unfortunately it is the innocents who are hurt my them.

Read the treatise below and answer each question honestly.\nhttp://schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/what_would_you_do.pdf\n\nYou will see that I base my argument on history and basic facts of human nature. I'm sorry my answer would have been too long for this post. But I wanted to answer it properly.

There could be, but humans will never know on their own.\n\nSee, humans are TERRIBLE judges of right and wrong. Just look at our history, be it through Christian creation, Evolution, Spaghetti-Monster creation, etc... it has COUNTLESS examples of violence and destruction as the result of human err and moral decay. IF there were a universal right and wrong, it wouldn't be known amongst humans.\n\nWe already try to find such a thing. Some find it in religion, some find it in just a belief in a higher being (not essentially a religion; religion is man-established and due to corruption), some find it in their own decisions (NOT SMART)... We DO try, we just don't do all too well.
