you make me want to vomit.
please move to america if you are so in love with the place.
I prefer to live in my 'leftist nightmare' of free education, free health care, no guns, no wars and lovely weather.
Of course you do !
But you never earned it, and i'm betting, you never made any sacrifice for it.
You clearly have no understanding of how such desirable societal circumstances come about, nor, what is required for them to be maintained.
Your leftist willingness,
to appease and forgive wanna-be violent criminals,
and to encourage widespread LAWLESSNESS in society,
will soon see the peace and all of the societal rights that we have and enjoy,
disappear like a morning mist, burned off by a rising sun.
There is no chance of peace [among men], without justice.
There is no justice, without a widespread respect for free and open truth.
There is no
presence of free and open truth, without a widespread willingness to defend free and open truth.

Quote:IMO, ppl like yourself seem to want a 'peace' at any cost.
But, imo, morality or life, doesn't work like that.
Peace comes from defending open truth.But your logic seems to be;
'Wanting' something, will produce it.
Or;
'If we give bullies what they want, surely, they will be satisfied, and leave us alone.'
They won't.
If you give a bully/thug, what he wants, he will come back again, and again.
And eventually he will take from you, everything that you own.
And the last thing the bully/the thug, will take from you, is your life.
The appeasement of evil men, does not lead to peace.
IMO, this generation has lost the ability to discern between good and evil, between truth and falsehood.
As individuals, we all know, or as adults, we should know by now!, that
if we walk away from truth, we will [always!] reap confusion in our lives.

Quote:How is peace achieved, in the real world?
Peace comes from justice.
Justice comes when we respect, and defend, free and open truth.
With justice comes peace.
Justice comes from facing up to, and embracing, TRUTH.
Peace comes through sacrifice, and our willingness to fight for truth, and to fight for what is right[eous].
And, peace comes from judgement.
Peace among men comes as a consequence of righteous judgement.
Peace among men comes when wicked men are judged, and when their fellows [other wicked men] come to understand that [their own] wicked actions, will bring judgement upon them.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Karl Popper
"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."
Thomas Mann
Amos 5:14
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
