Thanks.  That's what I meant by conflict.  If you didn't have struggles in your life it would boring.  

Gandhi and Buddhism... hmmm they had some effect but not as much as war.  Do you learn about the reprocussions of Budhism or about the Treaty of Versailles?  The later.

Eh.  It's just English.  And doing a 20 page paper at the same time as doing posts is never good.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

:wtf: why are some of the titles in some strange font?

Quote
If mankind defined itsself through struggle then what is Ghandi? What is Budhism? I know that not nearly everyone agrees with those two things but those things define a lot of people.


I don't know about Buddhism, but the former is possibly the biggest idiot who ever lived; I can rant on about him for hours. :D Still, the "lot" here is miniscule compared to the lot who is defined by Hitler, Stalin, and so on. :D

Quote
Also, conflicts does not define PEOPLE it defines GOVERNMENTS. I don't WANT struggle or conflict. It is the urge for peace that defines us. That urge however is something that governments use as a reason for conflict. That is always the reason for war on this planet.


Conflict defines a lot of things in the universe that exist in multiplicity. As far as mankind goes, war and violence is far more consistent with the workings of both individuals and institutions than peace; as long as multiple people and multiple governments exist, you will have a combination of peace and war with both given equal weight.

Quote
But still, I refuse to believe that struggle and conflict is what defines us.


eh...you cannot just refuse to believe something that appears to be true; that is just stupid. :p
