I am sorry you too are frustrated with violence. It will not stop no matter who is in our top political station. I am not just being negative. It is the nature of the enemy.

Haha, waaay too late for us to change to nicey- nice.

I can only hope that some more intelligent government steps up to the plate to broker a truce and the involved parties actually agree that constant war is a pretty stupid solution to their problems. "If we can't be in control, no one will be in contol here! All over the damn place....

Okay I will shut up now. I am getting too frustrated by the human ability to justify acts of violence. (Not you, every person I read/hear. )

You are political, we all are. Just what would you have any leader do? Go chat with the President of Iran? Or maybe there is a better solution. What do you propose?

This is not a baby site. This is for mature audiences, you know political thinkers.

Yep, the world is going to Hell in a handbasket right quick...
We need leadership that will defuse the anger rather than inflame it... oops that is bordering on political. I am dropping the subject right now.

I agree. It is incredible that members of the same family, the same DNA pool can not be friends and closer. It is sad.

Destruction of Family Values
We can't even agree within our families, much less as a Nation. The slow disentegration of the family unit is more sad for me than anything.

Passionflower that about covers it.

It's a long answer but basically it's because we're not all the same.

We've all had very different life experiences. Some were raised in the south, some in the north, some in the midwest...then there's a whole different 'tribe' that lives on the west coast.

Some were raised in baptist churches, some were raised  Catholic, some were raised by atheists, some by witches. Some had NO religious training at all.

Some have a high IQ while others can barely read and write. Some of us were born beautiful to rich parents and that had a profound effect on our values. Some were born to poor families that hated the rich.

Some of us had college educations and became doctors, some will work their whole lives at Walmart or McDonalds- some were beaten and/or abused by parents. Some were spoiled rotten and turned into selfish ingrates by doting parents.

I could go on and on but you get the message.

Since forever if you look at it that way. As far as the Israel conflict, I hope they go until no one is able to threaten them anymore.
