3. We could form some sort of international organization...
... that represented the vast majority of countries in the world and get them all to agree to some kind of non-aggression treaty. And if anyone should transgress, there should be some way to vote on sanctions and possible military actions by the other members countries to enforce the heretofore agreed upon non-aggression treaty.

I think that might go a long way towards the goal of ending warfare.

4. LOL
On the larger social scale, yea war is not that smart, and should be avoided.


On a personal note, they should not have attacked me, and now they owe restitution. And it will be collected.

5. But really!!
If we don't stop these wars for corporate Empire anything else

we discuss here is moot, because that is the biggest shift that has to be made.

Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Complexe, and look at us now.

The Kennedys and MLK made a huge push for peace and to end the Federal reserve system.

We all know what happened to them.

6. O.K. It's a great idea ... how do we do it?
It's easy to promote Utopian ideals. Implementing those ideas is the problem.

9. We just have to get a shitload of us
on the same page. Draw up a statement of what we want the world to look like. Put up a website to tally votes, names countries,

And then run it through facebook and any other social networking portal, there's tons of them.

Then we pick some people like Howard Dean, Al Grayson and others to do the media for us.

We will make people think for a change. Written properly, and making it go viral may just shake things up.

While most of us don't have a lot of money, we do have numbers.

We can get their attention (thank God we still have the internet!)because the internet is the great equalizer.



:hippie:

12. It might work if we can get other countries to join us ...
And even if not entirely successful, your plan might help to avoid some unnecessary wars.

11. End soldiers and you end warfare. So, end sports and you end soldiers.
Gotta a heckuva challenge there. Oh, yeah, you'll have to tackle "soldiers for Christ" too.

13. You're naive
I got bored some months ago and decided to see how many years the world has gone without at least one war going on. From 1760 to present there has always been at LEAST one war going on. Again, the world has not seen a period of time since at least 1760 without the human race killing each other in some war or another.

There is little doubt in my mind that I had continued farther back in history that I would have been hard pressed to find ONE single year when there wasn't a war of some sort.

The human race has been killing each other long before corporations existed.

19. IF we can change
it will be a gradual thing, taking decades, if not longer. That's presuming that the desire to fight is not hardwired into the species.
