World Peace.... a dream to many. A wonderful world free of harm and corruption.... except it cannot be. The world is plunged into several noticable problems, many of which are born from extreme violence. As hard as we may fight, many people are just beyond salvation. Not everyone agrees with each other, so I believe many cannot change. Do you think world peace can ever happen? Why or why not? |

There are hundreds of quotes, thousands of quotes that say no.
"As long as there are humans, there are politics. As long as there are politics, there is war." "Power corrupts and absolutely power corrupts absolutely." I didn't attribute the authors but you can look and find them if you want. Humans, with our social interaction and need for each other, will always find conflict with other people. It's nature. Two little kids fighting over a toy is conflict and usually the stronger one will prevail. Politics, which is the bigger picture of that event, has large groups of people, with different cultures and different aims, and there they fight over more important things, whether land, oil, water, or resources, or for their God. "War is violence. And violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived." That's from Robert Heinlein, one of my favorite authors, in the book "Starship Troopers." Even police fight wars against drug dealers at low levels. No. War will never go away. Even if the earth had an Independence Day event and we were all one single culture with one single language and one single religion (or none), we would still find reasons to fight and kill each other. It's human nature to settle things with violence and we're just enlightened enough to finish the job and kill each other. War will always be around. It's a natural extension of negotiation, politics, and all the other things that separate humanity from the other animals. "As long as there are humans, there are politics.

Nothing has really changed in the last several thousand years. Before the Earth's population exploded, before borders and nations and even before armies, every tribe of people warred with each other. Sometimes just for fun. The difference now? we have big, metal birds that we use to drop bombs, big, metal carriages and fancy sticks that go bang and cause bodily damage on the other end. And on July 16, 1945, they took it a step further and, manipulating nature itself, created a weapon capable of wiping out entire cities. It's all still just tribal warfare, diplomacy is just us lying to ourselves about having evolved enough to be reasonable.
In short, no, I don't believe it will ever happen, nor do I believe that it can happen. In short, no, I don't believe it will ever happen, nor do I believe that it can happen. |

I believe in World Peace, However it will not come till Jesus Christ the Messiah comes back. I am a Christian so my views are going to be based off of that. If you read the last book of the Bible it tells about the future. Nations will hate other nations, They will be more wars, morale decay and destruction. Also an army of 200 million will try to invade Israel. The book of Revelation tells us about a new Power and system will rise up. This power will be like the ancient powers of Babylon and Rome. Babylon and Rome were two ancient powers. At their peak every other nation was tied to them. Both were economic and military powers back in their day. The empires were war like and corrupt. The Bible tells us that there will be a leader that the world will love he or she promises world peace. This person creates a false sense of peace. The System this person installs will cause every nation to be tied to the very powerful nation, and system. This person is the antichrist of antichrists. He or she then betrays the nations and leases all kinds of horrible things upon the world. The Bible then tells us that nations rebel and overthrow the system and the main nation is defeated. Jesus comes back and restores things. Now even if you do not believe the Bible it is still interesting. Some have said that Revelation was a code for the Roman Empire. However digging into this we can see that is not the case. An army of 200 million soldiers would have been impossible in Rome's Day. That is not the case anymore. An army like that can be quickly raised up. Also since WWII the introduction to nuclear weapons means destruction can happen over night. In the past 117 years there have been numerous wars. Some of the high profile ones 1905 Japanese and Russian War 1914-1918 World War I 1939-1945 World War II 1948- Palestine, Syria and others try to invade Israel who became a country again they lose 1950-1953 Korea War 1955-1975 Vietnam Civil War the US gets involved from 1964-1972 1967 6 day war again Israel is invaded but the invading countries again lose Yon Kappur War 1979-1989- USSR and Afghanistan War 1980-1988- Iran/Iraq War 1982- British and Argentina war 1990- Persian Gulf War 1992-2005- Congo Wars these were 3 wars back to back of each other 1995- Bosnia and Serbia War 2001- War on terror 2003 Iraq War 2012 Libya civil war 2012-Present Syria Civil War As you can see that is a lot of wars in the past 117 years. Right now I do not think world peace is possible. As long as you have countries trying to be the world police and getting involved in other conflicts, which often makes things worse. You also have leaders like North Korea's President and Iran's ruling class that want to blow countries off the map. In addition, you have terrorist groups like Isis, Al Kada, Boko Haren, Hamas, Hezobolah, and others there will not be world peace. Its a nice thing to talk about but I do not see it happening until Jesus comes back If you read the last book of the Bible it tells about the future.

As a Christian, I feel as if I am supposed to believe that world peace is something that can, and will happen. In all reality however, I don't really believe that humans will be able to achieve full world peace as a collective unit.
Humans have so many differences, such as religion, skin color, and intelligence, that there always seems to have been, and seems as if there always will be, discrimination for some group of people. As long as people can still find hate against other people, it is going to be very hard to get people to live in complete harmony. Humans are made with issues, the 7 deadly sins. People have flaws, and those flaws come out primarily when they interact with others, causing problems with everyone else. With enough help from people all over the world making small changes, I believe that peace will be found throughout the world, but for everyone across the entire world to live in harmony, I feel that is too high of a mark to try and reach, at least in my lifetime. That doesn't mean I don't want it to happen, I really want it, and kinda personally need it, to happen. World peace will hopefully happen soon.

Yes, I do believe in world piece, but I don't think we'll achieve it anytime soon. In fact, it is my biggest dream to have world peace on Earth. Why can't we all get along? Why can't everybody be tolerant? Can't we stop wars? I, as a citizen of Earth, will do everything I can in order to reach world peace. Of course, I cannot achieve it alone, and won't achieve it myself, because I won't do the whole thing. I want to, along with some friends, at least complete step one, while our descendant complete step two, and so on... -Drew- : ) bald <3 Right now it is nearly impossible to achieve world peace, but there is hope for it. I'm being positive to the maximum here. -Drew- : ) bald <3 Right now it is nearly impossible to achieve world peace, but there is hope for it. I'm being positive to the maximum here. |

No, To keep it short and simple, I don't.
But I really wish it was a possibility. As a Pagan, I follow one rule "And it harm none do what you will" and without there being world peace there is almost no way for me to do follow this the way that I am supposed to. But instead, I do have to cause harm in fighting for my rights, which would be no issue if there was world peace. I mean, if there was world peace I wouldn't have to worry about whether or not I will be able to marry my girlfriend someday without fear of losing a job or being attacked for who I love I know that It's not possible, because of the way that humans work. No matter what, there will always be bad people. and as long as there are bad people there can't be world peace. There's always going be bad people because, like Barathemos said, humans are made with issues and have flaws. I don't agree with him on his stance on religion, but he is right on why it would be almost impossible. that is not debatable. But I really wish it was a possibility.

Okay, let's just start off with this very cold point. We will never, achieve world peace. Humanity is always fighting, disagreeing, and using arguments for positive and negative use. To come to an agreement on a subject matter is a rarity in this day and age. Why can't we get along? Why can't we be tolerant? Everyone is built different, and everyone has a different opinion on different things. Understanding that is key to understanding the essentials of our world. We can't just make someone be tolerant of some else, we can't just make someone be polite. If they don't have the habit of being polite, they aren't going to be polite. If the government got along so well, why do we still have these reoccurring arguments happening every single day? Why are we always trying to solve our own problems. Think about it.

world peace would be nice, but our world is extremely diverse. everyone comes from a different culture. every nation has their own unique beliefs and morals. because of that, world peace is simply not possible. it is a childish idea to think that the countries of the world can possibly get along, even for a second, when we are so different.
so, basically, world peace is not possible unless we are all the same. that would be terrible though, because variety brings us to many other successes. the knowledge and cultures from one nation mixed with that of another can be combined to create great things. in short, world peace is not only impossible, but would not be good for the diversity of our world. so, basically, world peace is not possible unless we are all the same. that would be terrible though, because variety brings us to many other successes. the knowledge and cultures from one nation mixed with that of another can be combined to create great things. in short, world peace is not only impossible, but would not be good for the diversity of our world. |

Let me just say that this is going to be a Biblical point of view, and not just my own. I can't ever see world peace in this world, because of what I know. This world, according to the Bible is destined for doom. In other words, it's going to be demolished by God and then He will re-create it.
Now, that might sound some alarms, but no worries because God did provide an escape from this 'doom'. Again, this is just my 2 cents. According to the Bible, there will be a "New Heaven and a New Earth" in which those saved by Jesus Christ will live and reign with Him for 1,000 years in the New Kingdom on earth. No one knows the day or hour in which that will be, but until then, that's why I don't believe in world peace by worldly leaders.

No one knows the day or hour in which that will be, but until then, that's why I don't believe in world peace by worldly leaders. |

It would never happen,people are pre-programmed to be idiotic. We cannot accept anything even slightly different. Religion is the bane of all existence. |
