Our best hope for real peace...
I'm here...not for long but I'm making an appearance. I just wanted to show you guys something interesting that is an ABSOLUTELY GREAT program. for real. And seeing as how much is currently going on in the world i thought you might find it sort of...different.

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Wow, I'm sure if the Israelis really just got to meet the Palestinians face-to-face, and vice versa... Oh, wait, they live just across the street from each other in Jerusalem.

Well, I'm sure if the Congolese got to know the people they were killing... what's that? Lots of those guys destroyed their own villages and hacked their neighbors to bits with machetes? Huh. Funny, that.

awww screw you an0n. you wouldn't know a truly good thing if it came up and bit you in the ass. just because you like watching other people blow the **** out of each other doesn't mean that they actually enjoy it. and most of them aren't from jerusalem. and it isn't exactly a fifteen-year-old's fault if he can't go from his home in tel aviv to see what people are like in jericho. and exactly when do you expect jordanians/yemenis/egyptians/morrocans to meet the people who they're educated to hate??

dumbass.

Who would those be?

My, and the entire populace is bloodthirsty hatemongers now, eh? Not like out here, where a few hundred outspoken assholes tend to invalidate the opinions of a couple million others as far as the way others see us. See, out there they're... different from us. Don't have that white man's capacity for reason, so when someone tells them "the Jews are all evil ****s", they just accept it. Which is, incidentially, why this program to spend millions of dollars to tell them "some Jews are not evil ****s" works. At least it ensures that some 5 kids are not going to be members of Hamas or Hezbollah. Maybe.

I think this is a nice thing to do, but I doubt it will help THAT much.

Still, helping some people makes it worth it.:yes:

if you think that then you're as stupid as an0n. you obviously have almost no idea what the hell you're talking about and you have also obviously never met a kid from there.

for one thing, being jewish has absolutely nothing to do with it. what about arab-israelis??

at any rate, this is so that when these kids grow up they can try to fix all the screwups that the adults of the world made. cuz quite honestly, ya'll suck. and i'll bet you anything that almost none of those kids go into hamas, hezbollah, or any other organization like that. some may but most won't. i guarantee you.

Ah yes, kids rule, moldy old grownups suck.


Shall I enlighten you as to what became of the Flower Children? The activists who very nearly saved America in the 60s? Oh, they're still around- you probably saw one on the street corner today, wearing a tie and talking about the "realities of the modern market" into his cell phone.



Honestly, you people have been fed so much proactive commercialized pap you're almost beyond saving.



I mean, think about what you're saying here. These- what? One dozen kids? Maybe two? - are, as Palestinians and Israelis (who, of course, aren't Jews, at least according to your previous post), naturally on their way towards becoming Hamas and warmongers (never mind that both make up tiny tiny portions of the populace- they're foreigners, they're all the same! And, while you're at it, never mind that the project would go out of its way to avoid picking actually bigoted kids of the sort who will become murderers, 'cos they'd attack each other in the camp and make the project look bad- hence no more money), because that's what those durn foreigners do. So you take this tiny tiny portion of the populace- as I said, a few dozen- ship them off to a nice vacation on the Atlantic, and feed them the same garbage about diversity making the world go around and getting along and everyone being a special snowflake that doesn't work on American kids.



Brilliant.

This is like the big FS community project though. I bet these kinds of things have been tried thousands of times throughout the course of human history, but obviously they don't work since wars still take place; such simplistic things as this are certainly not going to put any end to wars even temporarily (which might not even be desirable at any rate). Those kids who have already been taught to fight will continue to do so regardless of any further "education" and the rest are already okay. The best thing is to let everyone fight as they please and worry about better things. :D

Such as what happens when they score a nuke?


Or, really, what happens when I score a nuke, for that matter. That sort of power is meant to be abused.

And I think we all know that this is NOT our best hope for peace. This is (well, up until season 4 anyway).

All I have to add is this:

Mr Gallup said the findings may also apply to women who engage in unprotected oral sex and people who engage in anal sex. But he said further research was needed in these areas.

Sounds like a program for artificial wombs or a repository for sperm ;)

Now, seriously... how is trying to create super-empathic, vegetables actually advantageous to movements to get rid of the current oppressive world? These kids won't end up being super saviors you look forward to, they'll probably end up being comfortable, nice, fathers and mothers. Who'll be aloof/numb to "screwups that the adults of the world made" in their happy, simple existences.
