Peace overnight

So from your choice in the poll explain why you would react this way.
Then feel free to work on analysing previous periods of peace/warfare.

The only way we'd have Peace overnight if we nuke ourselves to death.

Find something else to bitch about. It's what I do best.
Life is mine to give and take; death is my bailiwick. I freely go where angels dare not tread, and have danced blades with the demons that lurk in your darkest nightmares.

As far as I'm concerned, there is basically world peace at the moment, since there are no serious wars going on. However, I assume that you by world peace refer to a state where there's not even any minor conflict such as the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq taking place. If media claimed that not even such trivial conflicts were taking place, I would probably not believe it.

Immediately not believe it, and laugh it off...then find something new to bitch about...

I think humans need things to bitch about, it helps define our existence...

I would not believe it.

Then I would celebrate.

And then I'd continue bitching about the environment, gay rights, and other things.

After reading this I actually became somewhat glad that there's some petty conflicts going on in the world.

Why? I bitch about the environment more than I bitch about war even as it is.

So I have noticed, but at least it --hopefully-- diverts some energy from the civil rights bitching, which IMO is the worst.

Why? I don't see how so. Everyone knows that you can't get anybody to do anything about anything, especially about civil rights, without bitching for years and years about it.

I'd probably go play Gears of War 2, to make up for the lack of real blood being spilled. The Blood God demands offerings, and he doesn't care where they come from!

I think this would be better than real war.

I don't want homosexual marriages, "equality" between males and females, "equal" wages", and lots of other shit, so I'd prefer it if all of you that whine about it kept your fucking mouths shut, to be honest.

I'd probably do what I do every day without having to read all the war 'filler' in the newspapers.

That's pretty much what everyone would do. There are no wars on at the moment that are effecting Westernese countries.

You know media and its exaggerations. They'd manage to portray a minor feud between two neighbors as World War 3.

Just like the KKK would have preferred it if African Americans had kept their fucking mouths shut.

Always good to know who the bigots are.
