The world is in a difficult place right now. What can each of us do to keep it from teetering off its axis? Thoughts? Suggestions? War and conflict, generally, happens because of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Peace and harmony exists in clear communication and understanding. World peace an...

"Personal truth" is just a relabelling of what used to be called (more accurately IMO) "personal reality". Which implied your personal reality could be separate from the truth. If you replace the word "your," with the words "POTUS Biden's," you will have a co...

Nit picking.

Wait, weren’t you talking about our Age?

Look, you've obviously tried many different men, but they have all walked out on you. That is why you are single. Are you really going to try to advise other people on what are good men to marry? Where is your ring? Where is your forever man? If you cannot keep a man, then you then have failed as a...

So, she cheats on him, then she leaves the marriage, then takes the children with her, and then thinks that her ex must keep paying for her luxurious lifestyle. I'd rather burn the money than to give it to her. The solution is not to pay but instead to find a way to get even with the feminist gover...

BTW, I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t‘ve had this same discussion with IC. He/she seems like a very reasonable chap.

Long story short, the only thing we can all do right now is oppose militarism with everything we have in faith that it won't come back to bite us on the butt like invading Iraq and Afghanistan did. I guess you’re right. The only thing we have for peace now is faith, for whatever that may be worth. ...

How does anything get done that should get done? The first thing is to realize the "should" part. Some don't even see that part. That’s the crux of it. The realization is necessary, but not sufficient. How do we find a way to make peace a reality? It seems to me that faith that things lik...

As I said, no country should be invading another and no country should have troops stationed in another for unilateral purposes. If you're opposed to that, then look no further than yourself for why there are wars. All I see is a lot of should without any how. How does anything get done that should...

:D Then find something better to do that harass me over a post calling for peace. All you want to do is make me look stupid for whatever reason. Knock yourself out if that's what you want. I'm finished with this thread. Congrats on shutting it down. Some of us are just trying to figure out how to t...

Then find something better to do that harass me over a post calling for peace. All you want to do is make me look stupid for whatever reason. Knock yourself out if that's what you want. I'm finished with this thread. Congrats on shutting it down. That doesn't sound very peaceful ... As I said, no c...

I have no idea what your problem is with my post. I just want peace in the world. Apparently you don't. I didn't say that. All I asked is how you were going to turn this "want" into something more than a mere wish. Wishes are free. Solutions are hard. Then find something better to do that...

I posted what I think will bring peace. You replied to it but left out that half. You didn't say how any of that was going to happen. You just said you wanted... ...not sending armies beyond sovereign borders, and not stationing troops beyond sovereign borders (except in UN delegated peace keeping ...
