    i'm sure somebody said it before but what the hay...
    i dont think there can be pure peace. ountries are like children, sometimes the get along peacefully but other times they fight, we will never resolve that, some countries are just to different to get along
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Globalisation removes the country borders in theory, not the racial genetics, religious beliefs or sexual creation and preferences, does it ?

    Peace will fallow when every last of us humans are dead.

    I don't think that pure peace is possible. It is against human nature.
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    It's not just "human" nature. It's against all nature.

    I've never seen a tree swinging furiously his branches towards another one. I did not see any lions killing some gazelle for fun either..

    The devastation always occurs within nature while replacing it. But human nature devastates without healing or replacing it..

    War isn't for fun either you realize. It's just a more advanced form of what happens in nature. A lion kills for food. Wolves fight and kill each other for control of territory... and so on. We do the same things in a more advanced fashion- fight for control of territory and resources.

    Maybe I have to understand my first post as if it was another member's post. It is pure peace because the high elves have it, not humans..

    Globalization does remove racial and cultural borders. When a Jew and a Christian marry (happen more often now) the border between the two shrinks, when an Arab immigrant marrys a Germanic person who's lived in the US all their life and is 7th generation borders are removed.

    But even without globalization there can be peace. It won't happen while any of us are alive but it will eventually.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    No. I do not believe the world will ever be totally peaceful.
