They used to say make peace by forgetting our differences. Then they said make peace by understanding our differences. Either way, it seems that war is made by forgetting our similarities

Entitled opportunist will use any means to satisfy their never ending greed for wealth, power, and control to get what they want without concern for the human suffering they cause. There will aways be war and there will always be a promise of peace. A vicious cycle that is our history and will be our future.

War is made by bending to the will of the rich and powerful.

There will always be men who believe they have a right to force others to go along with whatever insane bullshit they choose to propagate.

The problem has always been that these men have been permitted to get away with their atrocities for much longer than ever should have been allowed.

I have NO problem with taking these people out as quickly as possible, before they can spread their misery.
None, whatsoever.

Maggie wasn't a man yet invaded The Falklands. Plenty of other women who also used military might, or other means, to force their agenda on folks.

@rainmanjr The list of men is MUCH longer.
Let's stay focused on the problem at hand.

@KKGator You're the one who mentioned a gender, as if one is better than another, which is nonsense. There have been more men because women give birth so men took over most of the life risking occupations at those times. Consider yourselves lucky. But when women have taken on those positions many of them have been every bit as ambitious and unconcerned about lives.

@rainmanjr Yeah, okay.

@KKGator It's unlikely that many women will agree with me so I don't look for it. We live in a Tribal time and that's why so much is fucked up.

@rainmanjr It's got nothing to do with "tribes".
Men took charge back in the Stone Age, and have been extraordinarily reluctant to give up control of anything.

@KKGator Women were giving birth in the stone age. Feminist nonsense has everything to do with a tribe, that of women, and it's being accepted as truth. Being a man=being wrong and stupid. In control by virtue of muscle and authoritarian nature. Women exhibit those qualities as well so they should avoid the smeer job.

@rainmanjr "Feminist nonsense"?
Yeah, this conversation is over.
I'm truly disappointed by you.

@KKGator Most folks are.

@KKGator Entitlement, Opportunist, greed, and cruelty are not gender specific, whether on a small scale or large one.

@Betty No they aren't.
However, historically speaking, the vast majority of the world's conflicts have been instigated by men.
Particularly the one the people of Ukraine are facing now.
And, by extension, the rest of the world.

@KKGator Many of "these men" have women stand beside them helping them. Women have the capacity for cruelty whether in a familiar, educational, or leadership roles. On the whole men may be the face of the cruel acts, the women are complicit with their support and encouragement.

They probably exist in every country in the world. So, with regard to 'taking them out' are you going to begin in the country in which you reside?

@ASTRALMAX I wish I could.

Valid point, sure seems that way.
