i never said *i* wish war, nor do i harbor any hatred or fear, i said that HUMANS as a general rule will not listen to your "message" of love and hope. this is a simply psychological fact, and you can preach to them all you want (actually, many of the world religions, such as christianity, preach to the world a message of hatred disguised in a message of hatred)

all words will change rapidly soon, but simply because of impending technologies, not because of some new social awareness.

and again, you see false. you have seen nothing but a bunch of text, hardly anything to make any sort of accurate psychological conclusion from.

you have not said any truth, only lies. you simply believe it's truth. but it isn't.

"everybody" is made up out of individuals.
and individuals rarely act like individuals.

you mistake hatred for fear. hatred is actually most of the time NOT the result of fear. it can be, but usually isn't. simple psychology 101.

simply nothing what you have said is true. you believe this change will happen when it won't. you say it as though it's some absolute truth, when it's closer to being an absolute lie. you believe people will listen to love, when all they listen to, and ever will listen to is violence. the only way to change the world is to force this change, violently.
your message of love is one of opression. you seek, peacefully though it may be, to restrict people of basic freedoms, you want them to love them, and in doing so, you take away the freedom to hate, something that everybody has a right to. what the world needs now, is not your love, it is violence, it is revolution, not evolution, it is education. not ignorance.

what the world needs is not your message of love (in all truthfullness, most people would sooner throw up at your words than to listen to them), but the message of tolerance.


love is a system that does NOT work. it breeds more hatred than it does love. the only system that DOES work is tolerance. tolerance through lack of caring. that is the only way that humanity can live in peace. take it, or leave it.
