Face it Anti War Liberals, Ron Paul is the only Pacifist choice.

In yet another reversal of a campaign promise, it's been announced that the Obama administration and Afghan officials are "close to signing a pact" that could keep US troops in that country until 2024. When the anti war crowd...

I'm betting these are "fighting words" to Lennon's most pacifist fans.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 29 Jun 11

Could it be true? Could one of the poster children of the 60s radical and pacifist movements died a Reagan conservative? Read the link, you...

For those of you who don't know the story when Jesus entered the temple one day there was money changers who were basically ripping off people, he got upset so much that he turned over their tables spilling their coins and drove...

Is it always advisable to prove that your are right and insist on doing it?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 7 Oct 09

When I was a lot younger, I will never rest until I've proven that I was right and the other person is wrong. I will fight for it at all cost. As time passes by, I kind of feel that this attitude doesn't lead me anywhere and I...

Where are the War Protestors?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 13 Aug 08

Terrorists hit Kobar Towers, the USS Cole, The Marine Barracks in Beirut and drown and innocent man in a wheelchair and the war protestors are silent. Russia and Georgia go to war, the war protestors are silent. Why is...

Bombing to "Give Peace a Chance".

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 6 Mar 08

In an apparent show of support of the troops, but not the war, some anti war peaceniks bombed the U.S. Military recruiter station at Time Square in New York. I wonder if they would publicly beat a kid to show their opposition...

Question for Pacifists...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 27 Feb 08

While I respect your right to be a pacifist, and would kill or die defending it, I have a few questions. Would you rather have your daughter raped, or kill the rapist defending herself? If violence is never the answer, how...

One Man's Terrorist is Another Man's Hero...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 1 Nov 07

This being basically true, it is also pretty telling about who you consider a terrorist or a hero. If you choose one or the other, you have taken sides. You can't point fingers at one side, calling them the "terrorists" without...

Anti War Does Not Mean "Pro" the Other Side!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Jun 07

While I don't agree with pacifism, I would kill or die to defend anyone's right to be one. If someone is truly morally against war, then the opportunity for "conscientious objector" status should always be available. However, a...

What made the hippies turn into warmongers?

beautifulceiling @beautifulceiling (1300) • United States 13 Feb 07

Sometimes I feel very confused by what's going on in the world. I understand how the government puts out these commercials -- er, I mean, press conferences where people get all worked up and afraid and start thinking that we need...

Pacifists are anti war, they don't choose sides.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 23 Dec 06

During the war in Iraq, many people who want to be considered "pacifists" just plain aren't. If you think you are a pacifist, but you use terms like "Freedom Fighters" to describe those fighting against the US and new Iraq...
