Good point, Joe Rockhead...nice name.
Anyways, well, that is pretty morbid, but sorta true. But then again there are some disgusting people in this world that don't care about the millions of people they are hurting. And you can never get rid of wars. Even if the real wars stopped, what would you do about internal wars (like in a country, where nobody killed anyone)? If nobody died, then they could still fight, right?
I agree with whoever says there will be no world peace. Sure, it would be really nice, but come on. Think about it...ever since us humans came along there has been no peace. at all. Let's face it, we're the ones causing all the problems in the world, Global Warming, ethnic cleansing, wars, giant natural disasters, you name it. Its us stupid Humans that are ruining our home, bit by bit by bit. The only way this planet will be peaceful is when all of us die out, or when the sun blows up and incinerates the Earth. Not that I'm saying that I want everyone to die, but its the truth. So we gotta face it.

I agree with Joe Rockhead. Suicide bombers are already dead, so they can't be forced to eat what they killed. And what if some people just like cannablism?

I think Abbie Hoffman was an overly idealistic person with a few good ideas and no answers.

I think that is insane and World Peace is impossible. The only thing that will bring the world together is if some other species or natural disaster threatened the Earth and even then it's a VIOLENT act that would bring us together. We would need to fight against it.

To many people would not view things the same way and that would cause even more wars. There will never be peace until the world is destoryed.

I think as long as people try to force their views onto others, we will have wars.
If we could all agree on a government that was restricted to three laws: murder, violence, and harassment of property, we would all get along much better.

I think that is silly, as people will always kill. Hatred runs deep in some cultures, for one another. Tribal wars have been going on for centuries...
Nothing like that will ever happen...
I wish you well..

If I were allowed to kill people and the only problem was I had to eat them, I would try to kill just skinny people to keep from gaining weight.

Doesn't really work for suicide bombers, does it?
