Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 26 Nov 24

My son used to be an avid reader and now, at 14 years, his interest has dropped off with gaming and sports taking over. We dropped into the library on Friday and we wandered around and picked up these two books. He seems to like...

Is WW3 Imminent?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 13 Aug 24

No. But we're getting much closer, and while it is uncomfortable to hear, I blame a lack of world leadership coming from the White House that signals to the world's enemies—it's go time. Will it happen tomorrow? Of course not....

Kandase @Kandae11 (57231) 10 Mar 22

When Reason and Commonsense Fail

Shiva @Shiva49 (28380) • Singapore 27 Feb 22

I have a view 99% do not want wars because they are the ones to suffer. The balance 1% wants them badly as they benefit materially and then to stroke their ego. They have limited empathy and also compassion. Why do we allow the...

I am worried because of new developments.

Prof Awadhesh Kishore @Awahesh (80) 13 Feb 22

I always think positive but never ignore negatives. I have listened some news which cannot be said to be good for the world. Is there any possibility of starting third world clash? The god bless the all and save the earth.

Wars should be History

Shiva @Shiva49 (28380) • Singapore 15 Apr 21

On the one hand we are progressing in terms of science and technology while on the other we are stuck in the rut when it comes to wars. The never ending rumblings of wars are heard with threats of annihilation of supposed foes....

Realities will Trump Emotions

Shiva @Shiva49 (28380) • Singapore 3 Apr 21

We are emotional beings/creatures and that leads us to looking at reality though tinted glasses. Reality stares at us back with a vengeance and we will be forced to make up for the lost time. Individually and at a wider level we...

March 11, 2020 - What happened that day?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (222415) • United States 11 Mar 20

Today was a real bust-out. Most of the events on this date had to do with various wars, weather (blizzards), natural disasters (earthquakes) and other things that you probably wouldn't be interested in. The birthdays were just...

War- Will the Earth ever be free of this scourge?

Hope @1hopefulman (45111) • Canada 18 May 19

It seems that most people do not want wars. Was not World War One fought to end all wars? Is not the goal of the United Nations to establish world-wide peace and security and end all wars? Did not many representatives of the...
