January 13, 200719 yr No, firstly we would need a better form of direct democracy which is impractical and would never happen. If we managed to achive this, we must then change human nature so everyone would agree to that form of ruling. Which i am sure is impossible. The only way i see is having some sort of panel who ultimatley control the whole world and so wouldn't plot any terror attacks. That would elimoinate wars, but the people who still wish to commit acts of terrorism would still do so. Unless of course as i said we change human nature. I think it was Thoman Hobbes who said humans always have a constant search for felicity meaning that everyone always wants more and we are never satisfied fully. Which is probably the biggest reason why even the greatest ideolgies would fail and the reason terrorism couldn't be stopped. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
January 13, 200719 yr personally, I think that terrorism will never end, it will slow down yes....but end...nah. There will always be some bonehead out there. I would have to agree with viktor in that we need to get rid of dictators in the world. Especially in country's with state sponsored terrorism. Even though all of the americans (well most anyways) would wine and moan because we are trying to make the world a better place.... Here is a quote from my health teacher: "All it takes for evil to Prevail in theis world is for good people to do nothing....."
January 13, 200719 yr Author I pretty much totally agree. In theroy, communism throughout the globe would make everyone equal with little movement for expression. It would quelch terrorism but make us all slaves of the state. Marxism does not necessarily enslave. Look at the government owned industries like NASA, the Navy and the postal service. Those are technically socialist, and they don't "enslave". And a previous post was right, communism would remove terrorism, in a way. China's a communist country, and they're 'somewhat' free. It still surprises me that their communism has lasted this long, I usually doubt communism ever lasts long because class systems will eventually form regardless. China confuses me. :? Me doing staff.
January 13, 200719 yr What is terrorism? It's when someone does something against america. So then if England, Russia, Japan, or any other world power were to be attacked what would it be classified as? Not terrorism since its only a silly and superstitious word stupid fat Americans have made, right? :roll: Human nature is too imperfect for any true world peace to happen. Sure you might be able to have 1 or 2 years of "world peace" but then someone will come along and disrupt everything sending it all back into spiraling violence.

January 13, 200719 yr Andrew of Jagex supports BANNISM@@@@@!!!! Why does everything have to relate back to Runescape in some stupid way? The only way we can stop terrorism is if we all become terrorists, that way it'll be the norm. Like most things, if we do something to stop it, people will rebel. People were told racism is bad, so now it's used if we really want to get at someone. We're taught that bullying is bad, yet some people still do it. Positive things are pretty easy to lose, but negativity will never go away.

January 13, 200719 yr They weren't acting on behalf of Britain, so they weren't a country. They were individuals. Just as the attacks on the World Trade Centre towers weren't sanctioned by the government of Afghanistan; they were carried out by individuals. Also, what about those who firebomb animal testing centres? That's not attacking a country.

January 13, 200719 yr How can we rid the world of terrorism? First of all, you cannot get rid of terrorism in any ways. You must understand this question: What is terrorism? Terrorism is an act of terror. They are an abundance of violent and non-violet techniques of spreading terror that was done throughout the world's history. It was done in warfare, politics, in society, religion and other domains as well for all intentions. Second of all, the "world" of terrorism has been publicitied by the mainstream media since 9/11 by fingerpointing at the Middle East. Like I said in the third paragraph, terrorism has been done in other non islamic countries recently and a long time ago. {You may look for the FLQ bombing in Canada, the IRA, Yugoslavia, Japan, London, and many more acts of "terrorism." } The Middle East has always been a center of high tension through the entire history and the westerners have made it worse every year. There's no reason to finger point a nation or group of countries and people for act of terror since every society in the past history have done. Like I've said, terrorism is a technique. A technique is a skill that is meant to be used in specific way for one or multiple purposes. If this was a weapon, you'll need a protection to shield off against it. However technology improves the weapon to improve the weapons and the shield at the same time. At the end, the act of terrorism is still there. It's also why the act of spreading terror in this world will never be eradicated. Now I'm gonna answer all the off topic questions here... {It has nothing to do with terrorism at the first place.} if the globe was true worldwide communism, again there would be no need for terrorism, and there wouldn't be any extremist views in the first place. Wrong, terrorism will always happen. Political structures and view points doesn't solve anything. It's a question of freedom of speech and the power of one of multiple communities who has no power to express against the majority of the country's power. Communism isn't meant for equallity either, it's Marxism that is supposed to set up an equality with no government and classes. Communism is the botched up version of it and obviously failed in every ways. What is terrorism? It's when someone does something against america. So if I hate the United States' president is an act of terrorism. That's great. So what do we call the attacks against Lebanon? Syriaism? Another attack. You name it and that's the name of the attack. So terrorism is an attack against a state? I've done acts of terror against some people without using violence. I've never done one against a state. an attack against any country by any country. So the World Wars are acts of terrorism. Hmm... I'm not quite sure about that. -=Aznhuskarl=- Cleric-=20Cent=- JuggernaughtMore to come...

January 13, 200719 yr Kill all religious people. Each regilion has extremests, and they're the ones who cause the most terror. Unless you're talking about terror to the earth, then kill all living things! :P "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
