I Would Like To Live

[TWR]

In a peaceful world, am I asking too much? the evil / Violence, when will it ever stop?

[-Talbot-]

Ah, your local must be a bit like mine then, TWR!

[ummmm]

It's never been a peaceful world.

[anneasquith]

I think 99% of us want the same. ( I hope )

[woofgang]

It won't.

[Mamyalynne]

As long as mankind inhabits this earth then war and violence will remain a fact.


That is not to say that I don't share your wish for peace - I do.

[TWR]

Talbot, never even had a drink tonight, but will this violence ever stop, & how will it stop? who is the causing the problem, & I am not getting at the Religion at this moment.

[woofgang]

mamya, chimps raid the families of other chimps and eat their captives, mallard males rape the females and will drown ducklings that they have nor sired. its not just humans

[woofgang]

aren't I a little bubble of joy tonight?

[-Talbot-]

but will this violence ever stop,

No, it will obviously get worse.

Perhaps you should be. Without that the past few days in Paris wouldn't have happened.

[Mamyalynne]

That's me told - I'll ask that my post is removed as claptrap.


I sort of got the feeling that TWR was talking human violence and not ruddy chimps and ducks.

[Slapshot]

It's just part of the world we live in unfortunately, as long as we all do our bit to make it better

[anneasquith]

maybe TWR does not wish religion to be discussed on his thread ?

[marval]

Yes I would like to live in a peaceful world too. We will sadly never have one though.

[woofgang]

sorry manmya, did not intend to be snarky but the fact remains that if all humans were to vanish from the world then violence would remain in the animal kingdom, and for the same reason, to spread their DNA and group behaviours further and to eliminate the DNA of other groups.
Evil is a bit more of a judgement call, like history, the descriptions of good and evil tend to be written by the victors.

[naomi24]

What's wrong, Anne. Does truth hurt?

[Svejk]

Didn't you mean ruddy ducks and chimps, mamya?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm out of this - I sincerely thought TWR was discussing the human race.


I am well away that animals are violent in many ways.
