@insaneSadcl0wn You know, with your logic I don't think the western world would have e.g equal rights for women. At the time, that must've seemed quite utopic :)

[insaneSadcl0wn]

I kinda agree.. but i really believe that true pacifism would only work if everyone was a pacifist. itd be uetopic.

The same defense could be made with a police officer shooting a criminal who was in the middle of a shooting spree with no end in sight.

I THOUGHT PRAYING TO ALLAH COULD STOP PEOPLE LIKE HITLER  or do you have to kill

[shoxman123]

lol violence dosent beget violence laughable true peace is not founded by violence HISTORY shows this

[Bradatimrkonja]

the Serbs, and I do not wish ill for any nation, even the ones who unknowingly spread chaos and bloodshed in the name of corporations... I would just like it for wars to stop... once and for all, for people to see through the illusion the Church propagates, through the illusion that the media and our governments serve us every day and the illusion of money. My peace is not easily attained, a revolution of thought is neccessary, with no bloodshed and will arrive long after you and I are dead.

[Bradatimrkonja]

I'm not sure what I can say anymore on the old subject. I would like to say that the world is faulty, love breeds hatred and culminates in war, and during war, love sprouts in the background, between prisoners, soldiers, the oppresed and the like. But somewhere it needs to stop, this enchanted circle that we've been trapped in for thousands of years, it is barbaric and outdated. One should realize he is not One, but All and One at the same time...My people and I have moved on from the war with

[Bradatimrkonja]

@Bradatimrkonja err... srry, I meant the Independent STATE of Croatia back from the forties, that was a fascist country, the current Republic of Croatia has nothing to do with that fortunately.

[Bradatimrkonja]

@ReturnofMichiko Our country is corrupt, it is debt, and nobody seems to care, not even our own damn politicans. In the end, we doomed ourselves(ofc, The US had fingers too in liberating us poor former Yugoslavs), but trust me when I say that the former Yugoslavia was simply good. Many people here will say otherwise, but a lot of my people are retarded biggots that praise the fascist Independent Republic of Croatia over Tito. In short, the sitation at home is...fucked up. cheers

[Bradatimrkonja]

@ReturnofMichiko This is what Im talking about, BY WHAT RIGHT DO YOU CRITICIZE TITO'S GOVERNMENT??? YOU DONT LIVE HERE!! We were better off under Tito, who was one of the best politicians in recorded history, than in this shitty Republic of Croatia. Whoopdie do, we have 60 BILLION DOLLARS OF DEBT. And btw, u bombed a city, u bombed it...after the war in croatia, btw, nobody cared about that, so get down from that high throne of self rightousness please, everyone hates you for it

[ReturnofMichiko]

@Bradatimrkonja NATO does not always intervene out of greed, it FAILS to intervene many times because their own regulations often does not allow it, which is the paradox NATO faces on many occasions, such as in the former Yugoslavia conflict. Global disarmament would be beautiful indeed, yet impossible to achieve. As long as there are humans on this earth, there will always be a power struggle. A shame indeed....
