No, you didn't. :lol:

I stand corrected...
 

HA!

Would you take UG, classicman, merc, radar, and tw? That'll give us some peace around here. :stickpoke JUST KIDDING!

Peace cannot be purchased, at any price. Peace is not a normal state of affairs for monkeys, and if you attempt to purchase peace, all it means is that one side acts peaceful and the other side doesn't (Neville Chamberlain, may you rot in hell).

Monkeys are what monkeys are, and war is a part of all that. Who knows what the future holds for our species? Not I, but I DO know that whatever that future is, there will be war.

Assumes facts contrary to existing evidence.

Humans have had the capacity to destroy themselves for 64 years, and have not had a year's peace in that time, yet they continue to infest the entire habitable world and Canada (apologies to HL Mencken).

No. It's just the beginning of a goddamned conversation wherein folks are encouraged to offer interpretations. The hope: a lengthy enough thread will evolve away from the opening question and self-sustain based on the give and take of the participants.

However: you, and others, should feel free to shit within the thread as you like… ;)

Ok, next month and that is my final offer. Or when ever the Israeli's bomb Iran. Which ever comes first.

Poor henry, so misunderstood and abused.

Concepts like peace and price are difficult enough to discuss when you are trying to be as precise as possible. When you ask everyone to provide their own definitions, you have pretty much barred any productive discussion from occurring.

However, if that's your goal - have at it.

I was sorely tempted to use the turd smiley here as it was so explicitly called for, but managed to restrain myself.
