Maybe 1 day when we all concentrate on the things we have in common, learn to appreciate other people for who they are and focus on the good things in life. Tall order.

Basically, Kai is on about a world were there is love, joy and the word "tomorrow" can be said without fear of what the future may bring. And if you don't know what you want in life, then have a look at his world and then spread the word. Hope that all makes sense. hippy

you soft the best you can hope for is to surround yourself with good people and remove yourself from situations that involve idiocy... peace is a fantasy and impossible without dictatorial rule of every individual... for every so called peaceful action someone will take offense - just the way it is

Listening to the USA & Russia talking about scrapping a vast percentage of thier nuclear missiles did make me think: what a f'kin waste of millions / time / effort that was... But by the same token I guess they helped us sleep alittle easier back in the 80's.... Didn't they?

Goodnight all & peace out (no hippy smilie on my iPhone then!?)

Why am I suddenly picturing nuclear-enabled birds?

Pigeon writing about macroscopic quantum tunnelling said:
For objects the size of human beings, the anomalously large maxima associated with socket-sized objects have reverted to the general trend of the curve, and while still present are much smaller, so human beings rarely exhibit tunnelling behaviour. It is not entirely unknown, though, as shown by the occasions when you suddenly realise you're standing on the other side of the room and you haven't got a fking clue what you're doing there. People usually attribute this to a lapse of memory, but in fact it is often an instance of a macroscopic tunnelling event. Again, the proximity of other objects of similar mass - such as other human beings - gives rise to a stabilising effect, so that it is most uncommon for one person to observe another tunnelling. It is, however, possible - though incredibly rare - for an entire group of human beings to tunnel as a unit entity, and such an event has indeed been recorded, in the shape of the "mystery" of the Marie Celeste. It is a little-known fact that the mysteriously missing men and women reappeared equally mysteriously on a volcanic tropical island blessed with abundant fruit and fish and a rich growth of herb. Quite understandably, once they'd explored the island they weren't too bothered about trying to get home, and instead spent an enjoyable time getting stoned and shagging, until one day the volcano erupted and blew them all to st. (Moral: when stranded on a tropical island, build a boat before you build a spliff.) A diary kept by one of the castaways, chipped into a rock face, survived the eruption and was discovered during the Second World War by US forces using the island as a base, but the information was immediately classified due to the nature of the military activities on the island, and the rock face was later used for target practice and destroyed. The information would have been buried forever in the military archives were it not for the fact that pigeons are in the ideal mass range to exhibit tunnelling behaviour, having evolved to make use of it to gain access to secluded nest sites; a flock of us penetrated the mainland base next up the chain of command from the island one night and read all the secret files, just for the crack. Some years later we sold it all to the Russians for ten tons of pigeon food, but since by that time they were importing grain from the US they renegotiated the price to 100kg of fissile material. The fkers haven't delivered yet, so one day we're going to toodle over there and half-inch one of their nuclear subs, which are not designed to defend themselves against a mass attack by quantum-tunnelling pigeons. All we have to do is tunnel into the sub, have a st, and tunnel out again. With several thousand pigeons all depositing their every turd inside the sub but never actually staying there long enough to be caught, the crew have a choice between suffocating under a pile of pigeon st or abandoning ship, and once they've gone we invade all at once, chuck all the st out again and drive off in the sub. If anyone tries to stop us we can threaten to nuke them. I don't think they'll take too much comfort from thinking we can't bypass the safety systems on the missiles; I think they're more likely to think that a flock of pigeons capable of stealing a nuclear submarine is capable of doing anything.

would be nice for all to get along, or at the very least tolerate.

I don't understand it personally, it takes (for me at least) far more energy to hate someone than to ignore them, so if you can't bring yourself to like someone why not just ignore them.

Would lead to less stress and effort for you, with an extra special bonus of the other person (people) being able to get on with their lives as well.

seems simple doesn't it.
