| schestowitz | OK, so I did a followup | Jun 30 16:46 |
| schestowitz | I see I'm speaking to indoctrinated people today.... | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes it's better to stick with what feels comfortable than with what is true. That too explains why many people still stick with religion, despite no evidence for its tenets, mainly deities. For existence which benefits 6 billion people and not 600 million people we must come to understand what it true and teach our peers how to become civilised also at the economic level. If we fail to do so, we can only expect unrest | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | from over 90% of the world, or at least those whom the exploiter did not manage to marginalise and/or indoctrinate. I ask not to be insulted; I just ask other people to learn about their surroundings; mainstream media will shape them to fit a mode of thinking which is healthy for their existence in a compartmentalised environment, it's not there for global/universal morality. | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | The dream of peace and freedom is easily attainable; the United States too could learn its lessons from imperialism (over 1,000 military bases in foreign country) and then find peace at home, even if it means accepting a decrease in quality of life. To suggest that the US will be at threat of not existing if it does not extend and occupy its surrounding territory (e.g. with economic sanctions) is merely to ignore even the | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | public opinion. I do not think that a single country today -- judging by its own population --truly thinks that expansion of land is vital for survival. It may be vital for convenience in life, but that is a desire without bounries -- one that can never be fulfilled. Materialism is nowadays preached as a yardstick for "good life" and until this is changed many people will fail to realise that unless we compromise to live with | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | neighbours on this planet, we are just doomed to confrontation (which one day almost definitely will culminate in nuclear disaster, either intentional or accidental). We need to learn to appease, not to oppress. To help militarism (which is a very profitable industry by the way) -- whether by arms or by assistance to those who bear arms -- only fuels a cycle of hatred. | Jun 30 16:47 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 30 16:47 |
| qu1j0t3 | you wrote this? | Jun 30 18:43 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's very goood | Jun 30 18:44 |
| schestowitz | Is it? | Jun 30 18:47 |
| schestowitz | I did it in one pass | Jun 30 18:47 |
| schestowitz | But it's futile | Jun 30 18:47 |
| schestowitz | People's thinking is like it's faith-based | Jun 30 18:47 |

| schestowitz | " | Jun 30 19:22 |
| schestowitz | Terrorist groups are very weak unless there is increased hatred (which helps their recruitment efforts). People naturally distance themselves from the possibility of death, unless in a major crises. The United States knew this very well before entering Iraq. It correctly predicted that insurgents and radicals would only *increase* as a result of invasion. They knew this, they invaded anyway, and the analysts were right. The | Jun 30 19:22 |
| schestowitz | thread is said to have increased nine-fold. | Jun 30 19:22 |
| schestowitz | In order to weaken extreme groups and to give them little public support there is the importance of letting people live their lives without feeling intruded, crushed, and without many funerals around them (that's what riles people up and makes them willing to lose their lives, as a form of sacrifice). Many groups that confront one another were actually apathetic or peaceful with one another many years ago. They chose the | Jun 30 19:22 |
| schestowitz | shovel and not the pistol, more often than not. Sharing resources can help improve relationships between countries and it is often essential. | Jun 30 19:22 |
