Reply #16: thats a rather simplistic viewpoint though isnt it?

because it would basically require all of humanity to think that way at the same time, wouldnt it?

Wouldnt be enough for even half, or two thirds to think that way...because the remaining third would just take over.

The military is quite necessary now isnt it? And i dont think its arcane. It MAY be barbaric, it may even be immoral that it IS necessary, but unless you are advocating that even self defense is not a moral act, then since there are still countries and people who are aggressive, isnt a military, and war, still at least at some level not only necessary but moral? (self defense).

Obviously, i am not speaking of the CURRENT war as self defense at all, speaking in more general nonspecific terms.
