I'm tired of all this disagreement, can't we all just agree to disagree?
What is the point? I might like something you hate, and visa versa, but what is the point? I mean we're all different so of course we like different things.

Why must we find it a vital part of our lives to argue over petty things? Why can't we just all just realize we're on the same side here? We're all humans, we're all citizens of the world.

A world we all call home.

Why can't we use this energy to make our own spaces all the better. If everyone did that, just tried to make the area around them better, then the whole world would be better. Why can't we all unite and use our strengths to try and change everything for the better?

Why must we fight, and argue with each other?

I know it's cliche to say but, can't we all just get along? :cry:

20. Maybe I'll try that
But I think it best if I just continue my strategy of bottling it all up over long periods of time till it comes out in a burst once a year when I crawl under my bed at 3:00 am, curl into a fetal position and sob uncontrollably for about 3 hours because I saw an emaciated dog on my way home from work rummaging through a garbage can.

3. Oh Honestly!
That just wouldn't make any sense...

That we should all consider our points of view to be something that sum-mates into the collective whole, vice determining the culture directly??

"Inconceivable!"

:bounce:

6. I'm just tired of fighting
Everyone fights... I mean look at GD.. it's scary how mad people get at each other, and we're all supposed to be on the same side?! Don't fight each other... fight the administration! Fight Bush! Damn it. Plus.. like I said above, I'm hormonal. I'm all wacky. x(

5. People live to complain...
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 02:09 AM by enigmatic
It's the National Pastime; it's no "fun" to actually get along w/ others and respect their beliefs; it's more fun to scream at the top of your lungs or snarkily dismiss anything you don't like as not worth anyone else's time, let alone your own.

It's pretty much what passes for debate these days...

It's not cliche. It's a nice thought and I have them now and then, too and maybe not enough. Thank you Rev!

9. Doesn't seem like it...
given human nature to defend and attack, and all....

I heard someone on c-span say today that he thought the world would be at peace in about 150 years or so, the way we are going...

12. Well.. we can imagine can't we?

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

21. It will be at peace because we will have destroyed each other?
One way or another, peace will be achieved. We'll either learn to be peaceful or we'll destroy each other.

Hopefully, some form of life will be left to evolve on earth and give it another shot.

18. I get tired of fighting, too. If someone wants to fight, I usually...
...just ignore that person.

:shrug:

Some days I don't mind a good debate, but flamewars aren't for me. I don't like conflict.

22. This is the lounge, and I don't hang out
here much. So...I may be responding in an inappropriate manner.

You expressed what I've said in other forums. I don't care what music people like or dislike, what their sexuality is, or whether they eat meat or not. I don't care who supported who in the primaries this time or the next time. I want a better future for the children of the world, and will work for any democratic candidate who has the party nomination.

If my reply was too serious, may I resort to the old standby, "why do you hate America?" :)
