Furnishedowner,
“Finally I got to see a video that was inspiring. I recommend it to you all.”
So you are inspired by one-world government? OK… WHICH type of government? It certainly can’t be a government of a FREE people, right? So which one exerts enough control for you?
“Propertymanager, you have an overwhelming fear of government. Instead you should have a fear of LACK of government. What is it about the idea of World Peace that paralyzes you?”
Fear of lack of government? Are you serious??? What makes you think that World Peace is brought on by MORE government?
"Thank God there are people who are BIG THINKERS. Who actually have the guts to say out loud, “The first job of humankind is to establish world-wide justice for its peoples.”
What do you base this thinking on? And what do you define as justice? I am sure an Iranian has a much different version of justice than you, as an American, does… I am sure China has a different view of human rights than you, as an American, does… so, define it…
"People who can look fifty years down the road and work for world courts, world treaties that help pull rogue nations under the rule of law, world programs to ban poverty and starvation.
Here is where your logic completely breaks down… As we can see with Iran, a rogue nation, they don’t like the international rule of law, and they are completely rubbing Obama’s nose in it with regards to their nuclear ambitions… The main reason is, they recognize that the Security Council is all bark and no bite… Kinda like CRIMINALS view our justice system…
“We are 200 nations now; we used to be thousands of armed villages, duchies, clans, tribes.”
And you forget, that as these governments form and GROW, under the guise of centralized government, the MORE death occurs… the 20th century was the BLOODIEST in history under the least amount of governments… it saw the League of Nations, the UN, NATO… THINK about what you saying…
“Can’t mankind begin to think about how people can settle disputes by the rule of law, rather than by killing? Why does that seem treasonous to you?”
Because it belies and ignores the REALITY that evil exists in this world… have you figured out a way to eradicate evil? Evil people and CRIMINALS don’t respect the rule of law, do you not understand this?.. Do you honestly think that Al Quada will EVER think the way you do? They kill INNOCENT people, never mind their enemies… For someone who has lived around the world, you have a very limited understanding of culture…
“As for me, I am a human being first, and an American second.”
Wouldn’t a more accurate way of saying that for you be - “I am a citizen of the world first, and an American second”?.. Does that also mean that if the laws of humanity are violated by American laws, that you will follow American Law second?
