"On each end of the rifle we're the same"

Why does mankind never learn this?

[Robert McMaster]

As written in the video, you'd think we would have learned something from WW1. Support all troups... Bring them home. Let the rich old politians and the CEOs of the corporations thhat make billions from war be the one's to send their sons and daughter or even better themselfs to fight. Peace on Earth, Good Will to Man.

[Tialakit]

actually during I think ww2 they made a cartoon that had a world populated by small animals who had seen the end of man they'd found a bible and learned the truth behind the words written there thou shalt not kill the end of our species was of our own bigotry and violence. the only witness to that bloody day was an old squirrel i think who was telling his grandson of our foolishness and why they said on that day "peace on earth and good will towards men" he'd seen the last two men kill eachother

"Humans will keep killing each other until we create a weapon so powerful, that we will have to unite to kill it. But we won't have enough hands to kill it, because the only two hands we have will still be wrapped around someone else''s throat."

[crazysychoninja]

"I know not what weapons WWIII will be fought with, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Albert Einstien

[crazysychoninja]

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murders are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

Voltaire

[Rudi Polt]

Fine Song!

Where could I get the sheet music? Thanks for posting!

Aloha from Hawaii!

[crazysychoninja]

I just wanted to confirm that. Thank you.

Yes. My point is that after the worldwide shock and horror of the Titanic accident, the German government decided to deliberately attack and sink the Lusitania, thus a calculated terrorist attack on private civilian property. The people of Cork (Cobh Harbor then Queenstown) were the first responders terrorized by both tragedies. Ireland remained neutral in the next WW.

[crazysychoninja]

Not to seem like a jerk, but I wanted to be sure that you knew that the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg and Germany had nothing to do with it right?

2 quotes from history

"Imagine if a king fought his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?"

The French and English king were fighting a war based on a game of chess. Each piece taken was an army defeated. A French adviser left and said to himself, "If only they were fighting with lifeless pieces..."

Think about it...

People remember this song is about peace. Don't turn its page into a battlefield with heated comments.
