World Peace? A question for the GOP Candidates

[MIDWEST507REPIN]

what a pointed question

[megjett]

Conflict can never be eliminated, but violent conflict (amongst the sane population) can be. Of course, my own ideas on how to achieve "world peace" are limited, but I do think that improvements in the quality and availability of education, as well as a nonviolenct communication curriculum (to be incorporated into all school curriculums), would be a great place to start.

I work for a NPO called the Student Peace Alliance and could talk about this all day, but I'll leave at at that for now.

[megjett]

This video is ancient, but I did want to leave a comment, as this is my first time viewing it.

A lot of people tend to view world peace as being this unattainable, utopian ideal. I used to view it as such myself, but since entering young adulthood and receiving a healthy dose of reality/cynicism, I have lowered my expectations. That being said, I do see world peace, as I view it, as being possible.

[franksters08]

I believe that the world will only have world peace, once there is just one race, or all races blend together to just make one

[SairinMS]

If only the world had equality...

[papastiffy]

Global peace would mean a perfect world, which is an impossible feat.

Or not so much as this utopia is impossible, as a totalitarian government would be needed in order to sustain such a place that would obviously be populated with the imperfect human race that make mistakes as if it were their jobs. You would not know there was world peace because the average man, inside this perfect utopia society, would not have knowledge it existed.

In SHORT, read 1984 by George Orwell.

[ReadingIsForQueers]

world peace is

a world with no white people!

[Jamesznw]

ReadingIsForQueers. Are you a follower of the "honorable" Elijah Muhammad?

[ReadingIsForQueers]

i do not know who that is

[Jamesznw]

You can Google search him or look onto Malcolm X's history. Pretty complicated.

Or you can watch the movie "Malcolm X".

Bottom line. He preaches anti-White.

[PaleKidOnTheLeft]

That's racist.

[kazooga1234]

world peace is a world without any republicans to fuck up this world

[sodzy29]

"...we all know what world peace is", do we? I don't think we can answer that question without knowing what word peace is, is it eternal (no conflict), what constitutes peace? Would arguing break the "peace"? how about a fight? a stabbing? murder? or does an event have to be major like a war, for it to not constitute peace? I'd ellaborate more but I am nearly at the maximum character count.

[thedoctorawks]

world peace would be the end of the universe. cuz it will never happen... people will need 2 increase their levels of tolerance and we all know thats never gonna happpen...

[coilung000]

World peace is a utopia that can not be achieved due to the presence of differences between people.

Humanity must be brainwashed for world peace to happen.

[drummingdude2007]

in my opinion world peace would be no intercontinental war, intracontinental war, holy war, or civil war. very few other species have what some would call wars, but their wars are temporary and they do not leave the same kind of destruction. i do not call these wars.. to me they are battles.

do i think no war is possible? not in the least. our world seems to be founded upon not only conflict but inequality as well.

[drummingdude2007]

america in particular is like the bully of the world. we seem to always need to be in a war to establish our dominance. i think if humankind were to become extinct world peace would definately ensue.

[brainiac554]

I believe that world peace is when every single person can respect every other person and their is no hate or war, even if it is only for a second I believe that is what world peace is. :)

[DerewithaK89]

impossible..

I believe that "world peace" is where everyone(mostly George Bush), is willing to respect other people's(Iraq, Afghanistan) business. Also where we may not agree, but allow people to go and live their daily lives the way their country directs them too. LIke i said, in my opinion it will never happen...

Barack Obama for president 2008

[kunyatamatshi]

sorry but i think that world peace is impossible. world peace is just a dream that will never come true, yeah it would be nice but i think the world wouldn't look right if there was world peace. im sorry but i can't explain why. if you disagree then please let me and every else know and of course dan as well

YEAH!! GO DAN

[246trinitrotoluene]

it means they will be targeting the balkans again, therefore your answer is a resounding: NO.

[0917849]

ya where were u

[stickman567]

i dont think complete world peace is possible. The is always some rough patch of people. So there could be enough world peace that we are happy.

[dukcaboose]

where were you when u made this video?

[punkfisherman]

i think world peace is not a perfect world but where all humans get along with each other like they should do meaning no war,no murders because humans werent meant to take lifes.

[sushidude95]

ha ha hear the crickets in the backround

[Justaname2222]

it means no fighting dumbass UHHHH WORLD THEN PEACE equals world Not Fighting having peace

[thehawk778]

wow your really just

the brightest crayon in the box.

he means is it feasible,

and what the candidates ideas are on the topic.

[thehawk778]

[meant to reply to the last comment]

[swordsandsandals9999]

If we were at world peace we would live in a Utopia.

[stickman567]

Tee hee

[tdrillis]

fruitopia

[gleibert]

its is imposible to make the world an eutopia or a perfect world with peace...

eaven if it was possible it would probably take a lot of years to get to this point...

the earth will soon be distroyed do to global warming, the ice is melting quicly it might sound stupid but the world is slowly roting..

[m032959]

I do think world peace is possible and i think that it is essentual for every race and nationality of poeple should be treated the same and have perfect peace between them. World peace is possible to grasp if all humans can just realize that we are all equal and should not be killing our own species and making wars against one another.

[IntelligentHoodlum]

"World Peace" is something your candidates cannot give you. Partisan politics have only multiplied and complicated problems. Read Murray Bookchin.

[muhahaha321]

world peace will soon come when jesus christ comes back to Earth.

[o0WolfRunner0o]

your posting this with apperently not thinking. if you beleve this then read revelations (might be misspelled) and you will clearly see that the world will not be in peace after Jesus comes (aKa: the rapture happens) but the world will come to horror.

not to say im denying the christian (spelled wrong i think) faith cause i am a fellow christian who has studyed lots of thing in the bible dealing with Jesus 2nd comeing (rapture) but searously.....

Thank Before You Speak

-Ryan S.

[Zdubs719]

Be careful christian, your words may all too easily become a self fulfilling prophecy.

p.s. read between the lines

[muhahaha321]

u know o0wolf that really hurts me why would jesus come to put us to a painful death if thats what your trying to say

[o0WolfRunner0o]

im not saying that im just saying read revalations and you will see that it says the same thing

[Musician0296]

world peace is attainable we just have to stop looking at peace in terms of macro constituants and start looking at it in a micro perspective. In order to attain world peace we must first heal the academy teach to transform, cultivate justice and non violence, de-legitimize and dismantle cultures of war and violence,fulfill human needs,rights and responsibilities, heal all relations, harmonize relations with the earth and work inside-outside-in meaning establish inner peace with oneself

[PiAnOdUdE976]

it may be possible but i think its light years away it will probably happen when we've obtained super advanced technology where money will be useless b/c we'll have human androids aiding us then they'll resolve there (if man kind lives to this day of advancement)

[o0WolfRunner0o]

wow, that has to be the nerdyst post ive ever heard and im a sci-fi geek. lol

[frnnk]

I think the obvious question is, how supportive have we been to world peace. the answer, we have been hostile. the cia has been involved in more coup's than any other nation of earth.... even more than england. T

hat said, we should adhere to strict constitutional guidelines to secure our own border and not get entangled in foreign alliances and support other economies to the detriment of our own.

[Joshuamonkey]

England isn't our role model.

[bassplaya211]

World Peace cannot be formed because our world has been forged with hatred and dislike and greed. But now within the confidments of a country on the brink of overpowering I look down at the world and think of worldpeace as a dream or impossibilty like brave heros or fearsome dragons. *sigh* The world will never be the same...

[limballer]

World peace is when peaceful nations like the USA are NOT being bombed by terrorists. This is what the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are trying to achieve, and its working.

Is World peace possible?

well, Mrs. Clinton may bring peace, but only with enslavement (and until china takes us over).

[thedayoftomorrow]

peace may not exist in the way we hope. i believe however that, the peace we all want is impossible, not because i don't want it, but because it simply cannot exist. peace is the opposite of conflict. but, it is because they are opposites is the reason that they both MUST exist. if we stopped all wars,thenwe would find conflicts with other things like ideas, and yourself. So unfortunately peace cannot exist without conflict.

[thedayoftomorrow]

before one can answer a question one must understand the question fully. i understand your question like this:

[mrbigdog1234]

Free will triumphed peace...

[dajini]

Remember... peace is just the lack of conflict. If the entire world were to come under a Nazi like rule that ruthlessly crushed anything that opposed it, everyone would be too scared to say or do anything about it. That is peace; but that doesn't mean it's freedom.

[Joshuamonkey]

What about peace of mind.

[IntelligentHoodlum]

History doesn't operate in such deterministic ways. "If the entire world were to come under a Nazi like rule" is a highly abstract notion. Its not realistic.

[21alt3go]

hmmm world peace can never be aachieved, not now, not 50 years from now, NEVER

cause simple mammals like us have to have a problem with anything,or life on out earth would be gone, be it important or unimportant.kill all major religions get trillions of dollars to homeless and shit, and the planet might have a bright future. other than that, peace is nothing bad happening in my point of view, a kind of Zen-no mind state. people born with birth defects ; cant stop it whats done is done

[tflyxx12]

there would be world peace if i ruled the world.

[PetrucciLifeson12]

I don't think there will ever be world peace. No matter what you do, there will always be bad guys or some dispute or argument.

[JawlyRogers]

(What I believe)I think that world peace is a religious matter. Think about this:The World Trade Center was crashed by planes by religious zealots who believed that ALLAH told them to kill themselves for their god. Belief affects behavior.

[scort8888]

Peace *and* justice need to be addressed at the same time. More equitable distribution of resources would be a good start. Half of the world's people live on 2 bucks a day.

[megjett]

@scort8888 You make a valid point. Most violent crime stems from economic disparities, and if the situation was corrected, we would see a significant decrease in crime. Needless to say, other issues will need to be addressed and elements factored in, but personally I'm advocating a return to a bartering-based economy.

[milleniumgrey]

World peace is coming. It may be a lot closer than a many think, and in a different way than many think, but it is coming. ...and probably very soon...

[anklefuck]

when the power of love overcomes the love of power we will know true peace

[jbygamah]

I don't think world peace could happen soon...

some people just don't learn from their mistakes,they sometimes do it again and again without caring about the consequences of their actions...

[jbygamah]

why do you like plain color t shirts so much?

nice vid

[anklefuck]

why would you wear a logo? slap some stoopid logo on your back, yaaaay! I bet some kid made my sweet ass t-shirt in a third world country for less then a steaming pile of dung. I havent bought a new pair of clothes for years, call me dirty if you want but i shower, i just dont feel the need to advertise for people who believe in slavery

[GodGunsAndGlory]

Never will be world peace, until the return of Jesus.

[anklefuck]

uh.... your stoopid. Even your name is fucking insane, god guns and glory? Get a grip man jesus is a politicalized figurehead and totally fabricated for political power and ideals. Maybe you should go do some actual research (not the bible) into your god before you start believing in nonsense. Faith is not a justification to believe in something, especially when theyre selling the christ figures blood for 13.95 a vile.

[JawlyRogers]

Unless you know anything about the Bible, can you shut the hell up for any of us that do believe in it? Thanks.

[anklefuck]

it would be useless to argue with someone like yourself so i will stfu thank you

[JawlyRogers]

It's useless for you to waste your time trying to prove me wrong if you can't. So use my friend, the back button, and do us all a favor and stop your bullshit please? TY.

[anklefuck]

I really dunno what your talking about. I could prove you wrong though, if you gave me a chance to I could hopefully show you what damage your religion has done. And yes it has good ideas in it but it has been used to hurt the people it claims to love. reply.

[JawlyRogers]

(What I bbelieve) Not all Denominations are bad or wrong. The way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, not through good works or being a good pereson, because no one is righteous. Christianity isn't wrong; many people have given their lives to the Lord and lived better because of it. If you just gave the Bible a chance instead of scorning it, you might get a better picture of what the churches think (the real ones that haven't changed around the Bible).

[metalmanmac1]

wow y do u have a blac backround?

[chrscool8]

Where are you?

[JBradford247]

There was once world peace, but I highly doubt that there will ever be world peace ever again, sadly.

[bartmanraya]

I think is something we can get at but it would be very difficult and it will require the participation of everyone. Like many said no boundries and help one another. but as long as we have racism we won't get anywhere.

[gblan]

Well...uhh...if U.S. Americans had maps...uhh...and The Iraq and South Africa. I beleive that we should...uhhh... help The Iraq. Our...uhh.... education over here in the U.S. should...uhh... help The Iraq and the asian countries. Then we will have world peace!

[metalmanmac1]

lol miss south america

[gblan]

ehhhh, that's South Carolina.

[metalmanmac1]

ok thats wat i ment

[siptimus]

WOOT DAN YOUR AWSOME!!!

[Erikperik93]

Yes... it is possible but everyone need to work like a team!

[julianholguin]

oh i almost forgot, a thought just came to me, what if the candiadates use your question and say something like " i think world peace will happen if you vote for me" strikes a bell huh? i can't beleive i didn't think of it before but yeah wanna start a little discussion on that and mabye get the point across.

[branX2]

I think that world peace is all nations treating each other with respect. I do not think it is possible.

[Satatsu]

I believe world piece can't be achieved unless we got rid of the currency system and deleted all debts. We shouldn't divide the earth into continents or countries, just one giant earth for humans. World Recourses would be used distributively.

Yep.

[brad16752]

(cont'd 2)I don't feel it will ever happen and for 1 reason. There are too many independent minds. People have theories and ideas on things and when it's presented by someone of power, others eat it up and believe in what is said. Don't get me wrong independence is a beautiful thing but the problem is somewhere people are primitive enough to think war is necessary and do not look at the long term effects and consequences.

[brad16752]

(cont'd)Many people go by what they are told (Something is branded humorous so they laugh) When it strip it apart of the issues and all the hype and protestation of war it is quite simple, people fight so there will be no more war which I feel just contradicts itself. People are told of world peace and the stereotypical sunshine and everybody holding hands but when it comes down it to,

[brad16752]

Hey there, big fan. From watching you tear up guitar hero to using your Rubik's cube guides. I am a person who is all for debating and discussing issues usually ignored by many people, my theory is live life inquisitively.

Anyway my perspective of world peace is somewhat as common as many others(no war)

To be honest though this is out of our reach, not to be a pessimist but we as people are followers.

[aquwaman2021]

what ever your doin i support you (even if im in australia rofl) but well done proud of ypu thums up ^^ and 5 stars all the way.

[plu48]

Wow. Nice question :thumbsup:.

[ricardovw]

I dont think its posible cuz there r many many diferents cultures and all the cultures dont go tugether in their thinking and all tht things

[schoolbus123]

the sound is kinda messed up in this video, almost like wind. or is ut just my speakers?

[pogobat]

It's wind-- I filmed it outside

[DemonHide]

Ah, world peace. When the Universe itself is a torrent of turmoil, governed by extremes, what can we do? Survival, power, beliefs, ideas, just because... Well, perhaps peace is what we define it. Then how do we define it? Is there a one true answer? The world around us says no answer exists at all. Sentience is a double-edged sword, ladies and gentlemen. "...with great power, comes great responsibility."-Uncle Ben.

[hns135]

I think theres a better chance of the appacalips happening then world peace....

[Drummer4879]

IM sorry, but now i don't think it will come.. well not anytime soon.. World peace there is Collins its right too...

World peace will come when pigs fly.

[bluedog28]

wow, you go really deep. i respect you alot now. 5 stars, all the way!

[ChrisCCollins]

"As long as there is man, there will be war."

-Someone famous...

lol.

[PetrucciLifeson12]

I don't think there will ever be world peace. In order for that to happen, you would have to change the way everybody thinks.

Unless of course world peace means that there will be no more war or fighting against countries or nations, which I think can be achieved.

[speartube]

and if it true world peace cannot be achive if people keep having wars n all the crap well.. i personally think world peace can be achive if theres no terrorist or communist in this world..

[FranciscoL90]

If we wore all terrorist world peace would be achived...

[berniebay]

but to the terrorists of Iraq, they are freedom fighters and we're terrorists

[speartube]

i dunno but i think world peace is not possible since many people out there are crazy over power n if they get into the position thats can control let say a country n they would want more n that would cause war n i dunno if its true i heard that americans are going to attack iran???

[liz1060]

I think there was a period of history which did have "world peace" if that means no wars -- the late 19th century and up to WWI. It was an accelerated time for inventions, philosophies and the arts but people still weren't happy since someone said during this time "that most men lead lives of quiet desparation." I guess what we really need is Personal Peace.

[TheWaIkingW0unded]

No. The human race is a hateful, greedy, stupid thing that won't learn from it's mistakes 'till it's too late.

[aoeu2007]

Dan:

This video is much better than your last 2 videos. :)

I sent you a message a few weeks ago, but apparently you have not read it yet. Did you check your inbox?

In some of your videos, you look like an intelligent person, and I was eager to strike a conversation with you.

What I wanted to share is relevant to building world peace. :)

[VanquishSDude]

good question, with all the stupid people out there, i personally believe world piece cannot be possible. unless iraq sucks up and isnt so terrorist-like

[Funkypotat0]

World peace is all theory. There is no way humans can get past their constant conflicts to actually achieve it. Isn't that a shame?

[platinumbridge]

There will always be conflict.I'd say wads being human without conflict.Still conflicts can get outta hand and escalate into armed conflicts...this topic has yet to have a conclusion

[J4gg1T]

I personally believe that some americans out there dont HAVE maps

......

ooops wrong answer

my real answer is:

i think world peace is when there is no war in the world and every nation stops fighting, africa cleans its mess up, etc.

i believe world peace will not come in our lifetimes, but maybe sometime in the future, people will realize that there is no point to fighting, and that we arent different from each other

[Joshuamonkey]

lol, miss America

[Tangedal]

good question!

Let me think about it....

[julianholguin]

wow, really interesting question, i can mabye answer that even though i'm not a candidate, i think that world peace involves all countries not fighting, sharing recources like oil and at least during the america and iraqui war, it won't happen

[HubbaBubba9849]

Did you record this outside at like 10:00 at night?

[okeedokey]

i thought something very similar, i'm curious for a candidate's answer

[koi88x]

i will answer that qustion give me a couple of days

[firecat1994]

nice question
