Violence Never Accomplishes Anything * 1
    #26778017 - 06/23/20 10:34 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

You hear this all the time. Many people discuss it on this forum. It is pushed on us like it's true. However, society uses violence as a primary means to accomplish most stuff. Why do cops carry guns? Why do the liberal protesters protesting the police throw rocks and burn down buildings? It is because violence is an effective tool. It is what keeps you safe in your home at night...violence or the threat of violence. Imagine if we went into World War 2 thinking we were too high minded to use violence against formidable and merciless enemies who showed little compassion. Violence is why we have a little safety and the illusion of freedom. Violence has settled every major disagreement in history. Without violence we would live short lives and have no freedom.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Not one person commits psychological or physical violence in paradise.

I would be interested to know it's location.

There are no guns in paradise, so I don't think so. :sorry:

Violence solves a lot of things. It just depends on what side of it you’re on.

Oh come on...a few gallons of gasoline...some ammonium nitrate fertilizer and a decent high powered rifle with a good scope would liven things up a bit. Napalm and TNT would be better but I'm no longer allowed access to the good shit.

When I was a kid, I used to make nasty bombs with dry pool chlorine (chloride?).

Tripping accomplishes everything. If I consumed mescaline right now with no ill repercussions I would make OC look like a little kid again. A neurotic kid begging for mercy thinking he has done something bad with the nasty bombs, as I slash his logic with a razorsharp blade called awareness. But of course as a true empath I would make him wiser than me.

If I just get happy and full of joy I can win this world and make mother Earth a beautiful planet for all living beings. Breathe.

Work your magic.

A show of Force which may carry a threat of Violence is often cited as an element of Peacekeeping, but it is really about domination, and fear by those in charge of the display.

there really is no need of it unless we want to dominate or be dominated

I don't get it. Is that you, Lunar, me and rgv? I know you're in it and myself but the rest I'm only guessing! I guess I'm number three, Icey wrote he was no 1 in a post somewhere and he wrote he was looking at me through the scope when I was batty, so he may be inside my brain as well. Lunar is the ringleader and you're the cardshark. RGV is a wildcard. The Dip??? FWG is not in it and definitely not MtG, no offence. Care to enlighten the retarded kid you like to mock in a horrible way? The stewdent feels ready. :wink:

Holy fuck this was a horrible time. But I came back for more...

My lifeforce and energizing mind (on a good day) is built for this show. :cool:

Because of violence?

Seems like people have different opinions on who the aggressor is.

I find that this boils down to consent.  If someone wants to be violent, great, join a fighting club.  Hell, if you want to do war and fight others with guns, great, but don’t involve those who aren’t in consent and don’t fund the war any other way than how other organizations fund themselves.  Printing money/stealing money is the real violence.  Sport is fun.

I too was a teenage bomb maker. I got a bootleg copy of the Improvised Munitions Handbook from Paladin press...Id get potassium chlorate from the pharmacy (they'd order it for my school science project) use a rolling pin to reduce it to fine powder...add one part Vaseline...you got improvised plastic explosives...excellent for shaped charges.

No...but I did learn to drive a Russian T72 tank once...prob similar. Now my teenage bombs were ill advised, but I never blew up anything but a little dirt thankfully.

a backhoe can move more dirt more masterfully than fireworks can.
