Terra-jin Posted May 22, 2004 Well, seeing as how the late 19th century was the very first peaceful era in ALL of human history, I'd say we are indeed closer to world peace; albeit not very obviously ATM. I have faith that I will see world peace during my lifetime. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted May 22, 2004 Nah, world peace will never exist (even though I hope it will exist). War is profitable for the developed countries and the corporations ruling them, and religions never change so the hate that also causes wars won't change either (at least not in the next few centuries). Besides, humans will always crave power and wealth, both obtained through war. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arno Posted May 23, 2004 I'd say enjoy the relative peacefullness in the world today, as most of history was much, much, MUCH more violent. I mean, think about it: France, Germany and the UK are not in war with eachother for almost 60 years now. That's a miracle. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted May 23, 2004 It's a question of how lucky you are, really. After all, history is about wars and stuff like that, so you can't be surprised if it seems violent, but I'm sure the majority of people that have existed have lived relatively peaceful lives. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted May 23, 2004 There will be world peace when the aliens invade, heh Though i suppose it goes on how you define peace, there could, by some mirace, be a period of human history where no wars are being fought anywhere on earth (and earth is not fighting wars with anything from outside), but there will still be drunk yobs smashing each others faces in on saturday night..so there may be a time where there is no war..but will will still kill each other, just not as much as we do when we shoot big rockets around 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted May 23, 2004 I can't help but look at how this thread evolved and think, this is why nothing changes. Some would more comfortably resign to the fact that the world is a huge crapper with no flush handle, and any otherwise suggestion is met with sharp wit. Still others eventually find out that power nets you personal gain, and they never get past that. 0 Share this post Link to post
