when you look back in history you can see that war has plagued the human race almost constantly. Remind yourself of all the gigantic empires that have been in power, ruled for hundreds of years...then have been defeated. I see a pattern. I refuse to become a part of that trend. I am disgusted by war and all the baggage that comes with it. As people we see and hear so many amazing things, peaceful things..... i cannot enjoy such things while in the background and off in a distant land there are people being killed, for what? go ahead and describe all the excuses and matters which justify the killing of others....its been done for thousands and thousands of years....we are deff. getting good at it.

Uh-huh, well lets just take your approach next time a Hitler comes around and fall over on our backs and put our legs up towards them in some sort of makeshift defense. They should have a good laugh before they shoot us.
Wouldn't it be great if you were right and everyone had an epiphony and stopped fighting with each other? There's no doubt that everyone would enjoy that long lasting peace. Unfortunately, back in reality, that's not going to happen. Remember how TV used to tell you everyone is different, and it's a beautiful thing? Well, some people want you dead, you're going to have to do something about it other then talk.
Don't fight, try it. Someone is going to come along and pop you in the face sooner or later, history has already proven that correct.
