But what you have stated seems to be hypocritical. You don't like peace but you don't like war? Reasons are needed to figure out where you stand exactly. This is not much of a debate.

It depends on what you mean by world peace. Even if you desire war, eventually there will reach a state of equilibrium (peace). The question is not whether peace is good -- Peace under a good system is good, and peace under a bad system is bad -- it's more of a question of how you go about achieving peace, and also what kind of peace it is.

iono if world peace would be such a good thing. globally no ones destroying eachother on a truly massive scale. the world seems to have alot more problems then just trying to keep nations from nuking eachother and causing genocide. so far, humans are a screwed up species if we think crap like nukes can help mankind.
but i suppose they would be helpful if aliens attacked.

"Peace is not the absence of conflict; it's the absence of inner conflict."
--Unknown Asking whether or not world peace is a good thing is almost like... jumping to conclusions. In other words, we're skipping a whole lot of content to get to a conclusion that's almost fantasical. You cannot expect to read only the ending of a book and judge how good it is... You'd have to read the plot and experience the suspense and action. Would the end justify the means? Tell me how world peace could be achieved, then I'll tell you if it's a good thing or not, in my opinions. |

world peace meaning a peace obtained by having only one government and one religion and one currency a peace that has made the global community into one big happy family where people who believe in God are the primary enemy for being stubborn and not changing their beliefs and being tolerant.
This peace will be brought upon for seven years by what seems like the most truthful, most sincere, calm, collected, humble, man who is a great leader. |

It's not possible to jump right into this world of peace when every other man holds different beliefs and ideals.

i dont like wars and i want peace into this world... i dont get why you like to see peoples go to war and die cause they are doing that for their country... it hurts me to see our loved ones dying in the war. it's like you don't care about your own world. it's like you want everyone to die. i honestly hate wars, im sick of it. im sick of ppls who cries all day long and cant eat... who is so weak that cant do anything... at all. it hurts me too. so i dont know y u like wars... i would say that ur weird then. im sry ur weird.

I seriously hope you were not referring to me when you used the specific term "you". Did you mean me? If you did, then we're going to have a real heated debate on our hands, ladies and gents. |

Peace would be ideally good. Except man can not achieve Utopia because we are not perfect. Peace is achieving a state of tranquility and everyone is in total bliss. That is not possible. There will always be conflicts and corrupt people. The belief of Ying and Yang. If there is good, there is evil. There will always be a balance.

^not really, if there was no war, they can still go to college and use their skillz to go on proffesional jobs
QUOTE(sikdragon @ Aug 16 2004, 6:13 PM) helpful to what, i asked if u were for or against world peace, my reasons will be another thread.  the reason why this is in debate is to state your opinion/choice and backing it up with good reasons. If you don't want to state your reasons then you might as well not post thsi topic. I'm on for world peace it's nice to know that there's hope and light in this world. It'll be great to know that that hope can help make world peace. It'll be awesome to know that world peace can finally calm the hearts and victims of war and death. *edit* I want the type of world peace in which people can let other diversed people get on with their own lives instead of putting up contreverseys. You know, "One big, happy, and diversed family" we should all learn to accept others |
