Why Datsun, Mams?
Why choose Datsun as a symbol of peace?

Well, we needed something that might
turn into a sea of flames, ya.

Da-tsu-n! I like it!

So basically without humans to actually define the concept as peace, the concept itself doesn't exist?
Or at least it doesn't exist as we know it to
Edit- The concept isn't recognized as peace or even as a concept?

It does not exist as either.
We might have the conditions required for
the concept to exist, but we do not have
anything that can render the concept out
of those conditions.

Let's say we speak of a spoon.

Let us assume a person says "This is a spoon." and does
not have anything in his/her/its hand. Then certainly it is not a spoon.
There is no spoon. Just like there is no peace now in some places
although as well could be.

If we assume a person shows a spoon in his/her hand
and does not know what it is, s/he'll say
"This is... what is it exactly?"
We also assume that us who perceive the situation
do not know what it is either. We also assume that nobody who
is involved with the situation knows it is a spoon.
Meaning as we do not have humans who have the idea of peace,
we now do not have humans who have the idea of spoon.
Since people who perceive
the object as a spoon do not exist and never did exist,
we are not to find out it is a spoon, ever, unless we coincidentally
name it as a spoon, but if we won't, which like is the case,
spoon does not exist and never
did. Other option is that s/he'll see something
else in it, like "Shiney, shiney." and proceeds to scratch one's
back with it or something along those lines.
Therefore it is
just a shiney, although it has everything that a spoon has, since
it is a spoon, but in this case it is not a spoon, because nobody
knows it is a spoon and nobody ever made it to be a spoon,
just like the alliance pact between apes was never made to be
a peace, just something creatures who have the idea of peace
would perceive as peace, as we would say that the shiney is
a spoon, although it is a backscratcher.

it is not even within the realm of possibility

of course! after the dust and nuclear radiation, earthquakes and tsunamis, and mankind no longer exists then will peace be obtainable and obtained. This should occur a little after WWIII so, those who are anxious for a peace filled world, you wont have much longer to wait.

Peace is quite possible. Granted you would need to "pacify" vast tracks of the population, automate the majority of functions they once held in society and curtail individual rights but a perfectly boring society of melancholic drones would qualify as a peaceful existence.

This question has no answer.

What has Peace done for you?

Think about it, thanks to conflict we have what we have.

Peace weakens mankind... and we shouldn't work to achieve peace, we should work to BULLY someone else!!!

Mankind is bound to become the bully of the universe, THAT if we don't destroy each other before that.

________________

People have tried to attain peace in small numbers and small regions and recently in larger numbers internationally thanks to the internet/improved international communication overall. This has moved some money and aid around...though peace would really depend on your definition, how far it has to extend and how long it has to last.

Concepts in the realm of possibility are not necessarily in the realm of attainability.
Moreso, personally, I think peace would be kind of boring. It sounds like one of those absolute, ideal type situations that vary from person to person but doesn't vary inside a person. Peace would be rigid and foreboding after a while because people would start to get paranoid about accidentally ruining what they have and plunging the world back into un-peace, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
...Or maybe I've been reading too much cynical manga...nah...

: D

Of course it is. The world today is a lot less bloodier than it used to be. Technology is slowly eradicating the needs to fight because it is steadily isolating people from each other.

We'll get there eventually.

I understand what you guys mean about evolution. But have you ever been in a war? I think people who have never suffered anything from war don't have the right to say that war is great or peace is boring... I haven't, but I treasure peace, though I think we'll never be able to achieve it completely. Human's nature is greed.

of course it's possible. . . in theory

but really, I think what you refer to is world peace, and quite frankly we don't know what will have happened in say 500 years or more. . . but I think it's unlikely because there will always be imbalances between how much natural resources each country has and people will therefore fight over them, or so I think
