1. No. 'The' Is Ok By Me. So Many Sentences Would Be Lost Without It.

3. Calling for peace does address "issues"!
For example, calling for peace when considering the issue of war, isn't ignoring the issue! IMHO

5. I will never tire of calling for peace. Peace is my answer.
Violence always begets more violence.

8. If the Allies hadn't been violent toward the Axis in WWII
Hitler would've been able to kill a lot more people.

War is always best avoided, but when diplomacy fails, violence for self-defense is necessary for survival.

15. The issue is "calling" for peace. Not that peace is always attainable.

16. War freed the slaves
in the US too. Was 600,000 dead too high a price?

10. Are you serious? Babies, women and children are dying.
Blood is drenching the ME. It's on all of our hands! And you insinuate those who call for ceasefire and peace are somehow the tiresome ones?

This is the most unbelieveable inhuman post I have ever seen on DU.

11. Um... I guess I misread the OP-- as I believed the poll was about
"can't we all just get along" threads on DU, not in the ME

I, for one, am all for more discourse here on DU-- I know folks disagree w/ me and vice versa-- I'm all for knock-down drag out arguments in that case.

If anything, I believe they clarify some issues, highlight red-herrings, undercut tired rhetoric and the like.

I'm not sure the person was calling for more bloodshed in the ME.

14. I call for ceasefire for all unarmed innocents whose blood is being shed
It's insulting to have anyone suggest this is not a reasonable position. Somehow tiresome.

What I find tiresome is the endless images of bloody corpses, of parents wailing with their lifeless children in their arms, of mothers with their hearts pinned on their sleeves. How dare anyone suggest peace would be tiresome.
