Reply #36: We as a Nation need to continue to work on Our own Civility.

[trthnd4jstc]

I believe that part of our Nations problem is that we have a warlike mentality amongst some of our fellow citizens. Let us look at our schools with competitive sports, or how our military promotes video games. There needs to be some means to work on this desire to dominate, and destroy. I do not believe that calling this human nature, and doing nothing is acceptable. Also, because I am non-religious do I believe that the church can be the number one source of working on this problem. I do believe that we need to work on this:
1. Make 2 to 4 years of civil or military service mandatory. This will decrease the funds going to video games, this will decrease the glorification of war, in advertising, and will allow us to have to deal with one another.
2. Have a national Anger Hotline, to help people deal with their anger issues.
3. A government Anger Management program.
4. Public Service announcements about Anger Management.
5. A Government partnership with church's, businesses, non-profits, and the 2 APA's, and the AMA.

Let us help our fellow citizens and ourselves to be less violent. Further, we need a government that stops trying to solve the world's problems through violence. The leaders must lead by example.
