I'm only 24 but I think I have given up on seeing world peace. There's too many people out there like Bin Laden or Kim Jeong Il for us to ever achieve peace.
And then they realize most of us don't have the same religion as them and that we are all infidels and that since we are so soft and cuddly and lovey dovey that it will be easy for them to attack us since we appear not to be confrontational.
Honest question for you. How does this love and kindness theory work for you in nature, it's survival of the fittest, it applies in nature as well as society.
Go ask some European countries how they felt about trying to be friends with Germany before world was II.
My best friend is a sniper in Afghanistan being shot at every day by the terrorists I think he has pretty good insight too. I'll take military insight.
I think it is. If you don't like it, leave. It's just like the guy who dislikes his job and you have to hear about it all the time.
At least they can become educated. What can women do in a place like Iran? They aren't allowed to talk about it, but they can hold a Christian faith, correct? I just don't view China as a highly suppressive country. I realize there are limitations but it's not comparable to the Middle East as we know it.
Exactly. Huge difference between an Aghan and an international terrorist using the country and its neighbor as a base of operations.
The reason they are shooting at him is because he is there with a gun. My point exactly.
Women have more restrictions in the Middle East, but both places have limited freedom as a whole.

The folks in the WTC weren't armed.
It would be great if you were right, but you're just being naive. That sniper isn't in Afghanistan on vacation toting around a sniper rifle and the gear. That sniper is there because Bin Laden and his guys kill innocent people, and meant to kill a whole lot more than they managed to kill.
You're placing the blame in the entirely wrong direction. It's a very weak argument.
So if my friend was there with a bible and a teddy bear in his hand they wouldn't be shooting at him?
I love your idealism and goals.
However, thousands of years of human history have shown that the bolded statement above just isn't true. I wish the world worked that way, but it doesn't.
It works like the scene in Les Miserables where the thief is caught and the priest undermines him with love.
Do you honestly think that if you were just some plain old American Joe walking around Afghanistan offering hugs to the terrorists you wouldn't be shot at or killed on sight too. Actually they would hold you hostage and try to negotiate with the US before they decapitate you.
These people attacked us on our soil with 9/11 and we weren't pointing a gun at them then. These people hate us regardless if we have a gun or not.
I await your next ridiculous comment.
A movie/novel...really! That settles it. Hugs, unicorns, and rainbows for all.
Not quite what missionaries do. More like there living among them, respecting their language and culture, contributing something positive to their society, helping the local people.
So animals in nature undermine each other with love. I'll remember that next time I see two bull elk fighting. I will watch and wait for one to offer the other a flower and a hug so he can go breed all the waiting cow elk.
