Too many warmongers, apologizers for warmongers and

[MoseyWalker]

understanders of warmongers around. I don't want to understand the reasons for war. I want to see an understanding of peace.

Too Many People Going Underground
Too Many Reaching For A Piece Of Cake
Too Many People Pulled And Pushed Around
Too Many Waiting For That Lucky Break
That Was Your First Mistake
You Took Your Lucky Break And Broke It In Two
Now What Can Be Done For You
You Broke It In Two

Too Many People Sharing Party Lines
Too Many People Never Sleeping Late
Too Many People Paying Parking Fines
Too Many Hungry People Losing Weight

That Was Your First Mistake
You Took Your Lucky Break And Broke It In Two
Now What Can Be Done For You
You Broke It In Two

Too Many People Preaching Practices
Don't Let Them Tell You What You Wanna Be
Too Many People Holding Back, This Is
Crazy And Maybe It's Not Like Me

That Was Your Last Mistake
I Find My Love Awake And Waiting To Be
Now What Can Be Done For You
She's Waiting For Me


Black Sabbath's War Pigs

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!

1. Some cliches for you

There will always be war because men love it.

There will be wars upon wars until the world shall come to an end (somewhere in the Bible, right?).

War is a way for the old men to get to impregnate the young women, thus improving the chances of the survival of their genetic material.


So

with these perspectives culturally ingrained in the masses, what chance have we?

I say a lot.

BUT

If you want change, you hafta change. Simple, but not easy.

[MoseyWalker]

2. I think so too

"If you want change, you hafta change. Simple, but not easy."

Sums it up very nicely!

3. hmm

why cant you understand the reasons for war? Its a systemic thing. As long as there are class systems and government entities in this world, there will always be strife. This strife will breed war and this is one thing that wont change.


its hard to give peace a chance when you cant live around those with different cultural differences. Humanity needs to evolve a bit more in order for any kind of true peace to exist. kinda sucks.

4. "When you can't live around those with cultural differences"

I think it is more like "won't" live around those with cultural differences.

We are a primitive bunch, you are right. No one wants to acknowledge the power of their wills.

And welcome to DU!

5. The Isreal/Palestine "conflict" (Middle East War)

is like the War On Terror x10000. People who rail at "Support the Troops" stickers line up with their eyes glazed over in support of the American/Isreali agenda in the ME

Sorry but 20 or however many years without nuclear ramp-up is too long, so get ready

[MoseyWalker]

6. uh

I don't have a clue what you just said, but............

I get the feeling you're disagreeing.

that's okay, if I could just understand you.

BE MORE CLEAR
