But that doesn't mean we should not strive for at least a modicum of fairness and equality for all.
We are all stuck on the same spaceship, and heading for the very same destination.
We can do better, should do better...
And the only way we will ever build a better world is to stop biting at one another's ankles.
Put on our big boy pants, come together as one race, sit down at the table, and address the real problems we face as a species.
It will never happen all the same.
As to the younger generations putnam6, and not that i don't somewhat agree with your assessment there.
The kicker is we created them, and we will leave them with the same to similar hurdles to jump over that we failed to clear ourselves.
Suppose I'm drifting off topic all the same, so on that note...
Sorry, I forgot this was the discussion board I was on
Hell Scooter, we can't come together as a conspiracy forum,
it's why we have 4-5 much less than ATS spin-offs
There's little tolerance for different opinions
It will never happen is my point too, LOL, we can't get a few dozen posters, bots, mods to agree on the basics here on DI, but we are discussing we can change a system thats been in place and run the world for my whole life, 61 years. Likely longer and relying on a generation whose hurdles include how to drive a 5-speed, change a flat tire, cook a meal from scratch, and other basic, mundane tasks
But they are gonna all come together and keep Iran from lobbing missiles at the "free world" the rest of my life.
Color me skeptical AF....
But since Ive pissed away most of my 61 years...
It will take me a while to work and save so I can find a place to watch the end of the world as we know it and get ready for the future run by Rosa Delauro's disciples

The reason Trump mocks them is to make his unwaivering base support it if he kills an 8 decade allience to the heartbreak of globalists everywhere.
Sorta like instilling that the grapes they wanted to trade were sour, so we are not missing anything anyway.
Its sad. But we lost. The 250 year anniversary under Kamala had to many migrant rainbows, so America chose this instead. And what we elected has no more affinity for NATO and decreased support of long-time allies, more team players to agree they Trump is right and they deserve it.
And the many that dont like his pissing matches with former friends can only watch in horror.
I think it's a lean towards nationalism instead of globalism.
And I'm good with that.

What does peace matter if only one side wants it?

Singing "Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya" all the way to the cliff edge, no doubt.
Im 10 years behind you, and pretty much pissed away most of my 50 years also...
We do some good things through.
They are not all doomed.
Then again, did I ever mention my 19-year-old daughter, who's a 3rd year(going into 4th now), university student, who tried to butter a worktop to make toasties.
And who also thought people from Dublin were called "Dublish."
Maybe they are somewhat ill-equipped to cope with today's modern world?
It is what it is...
But they are the ones who are going to need to live there.
Sink or swim, just like any other generation.
"Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend."

We could be peaceful, but let me give one example.
Britain didn't want war, Poland didn't want war, France didn't want war, but Germany did.
Did the UK, France, Poland, hold the higher ground and were better?
Sure.
Until Germany invaded or bombed them.
And then, after getting invaded or bombed, they had to fight back.
Lesson is, if someone says they're going to do something, believe them. So when Iran wants to glass the EU or make the UK/France the 13th Caliphate, believe them.

Thanks for taking so long to come to our aid, which we then had to pay a fortune in Lend Lease.
Cheers for that.
NK has threatened you with Nukes which they actually have.
What's the difference?
