Hearts need to change, attitudes of acceptance.

On a side note..yet greatly effects the world..I heartily agreed according to the state of ones feet definitely socks, and no matter the state, aye most definitely ones knickers, unless one goes commando, then ones needs to change those trousers also..la ;)

What needs to change is violence as a way to enforce pacifism, it does not, has not, and will not work, ever.(Wrote over three paragraphs of text, but thought I'd save you the read and just shorten it to this single one.) If diplomacy doesn't work, it means you failed at your job and simply aren't smart enough for the responsibility.

How does one use violence to enforce pacifism?

That sounds almost as silly as using cheese to inspire dieting.

 

I suppose a lot of it depends on where you're from... these are lyrics from Gulf War Song (released in 1992 by Moxy Fruvous, a band from Toronto, Canada)... the view of the coalition military action to liberate Kuwait is very different to a Julliard-trained musician from Canada, isn't it?

 

---------------------------------------

 

We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf

But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings

So we tried, then gave up, 'cause there was no such song

But the trying was very revealing

What makes a person so poisonous righteous

That they'd think less of anyone who just disagrees?

She's just a pacifist, he's just a patriot

If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?

 

Fighters for Liberty, fighters for Power

Fighters for longer turns in the shower

Don't tell me I can't fight, 'cause I'll punch out your lights

And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me

 

So we read and we watched all the 'specially selected news

And we learned so much more 'bout the good guys

Won't you stand by the flag? Was the question unasked

Won't you join in and fight with the allies?

What could we say, we're only 25 years old?

With 25 sweet summers and hot fires in the cold

That kind of life makes that violence unthinkable

We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old

 

Fighters for Texaco, fighters for Power

Fighters for longer turns in the shower

Don't tell me I can't fight 'cause I'll punch out your lights

And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me

That us would fight them for we

 

He's just a peacenik and she's just a warhawk

That's where the beach was, that's where the sea

What could we say... we're only 25 years old?

And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me

That us would fight them for we

Is that how it always will be?

What needs to change for most humans, alex?

In my opinion, latitude and longitude. Until you've really seen the world from someone else's sidewalks, you can hardly begin to understand their worldview...
