Hi Everyone
Thanks for not only taking the time to read my thread but for replying.

Hi Ronn_Bman
I must admit I deliberated for hours over weather or not to post this topic as I myself have been guilty of sitting on the fence for years not daring to voice my opinion but felt it was time to do so, But I have no desire to offend anyone.
Thanks again

Hi Moriraine
I am pleased to hear from one of my French Cousins if I may call you that and No I do not mind Small or large comments after all that’s what discussion is all about.I did not intend to exclude you from my comments about us being one race but had I said all that I was thinking I would have written a short story not a post.
Your reply is one I am pleased to get for two reasons 1) What about atheists you are one of countless millions who do not believe in a god just as I am one of the same number who do, but there is still common ground to be found between us firstly all atheists share the fact that they do not believe in a god what you see is all there is perhaps this is not to say you are wrong and I am right, Neither should we try to force our beliefs on each other, but accept the
difference between us, secondly to find the common ground between those who do believe and those who dont is simple. I would think most atheists still believe in the all that is good and just over all that is evil. so we are not so different after all.
2) As for the current political imbalance in the world After WW2 Russian land and territories had expanded and continued to expand, some 40 years later it crumbled people of the region wanted their independence Germany wanted to re-unite its people. How far are we in Europe going to go must we all become the same, The same measurements, Currency, Drive on the same side of the road, and with the English language being taught as a matter of course throughout Europe are all the European countries going to give up their own language in time. I hope not for that it a part of what makes you what you are, your heritage. Is building another supper power really the answer.
We can embrace the differences between us it does not stop us, and eventually the world, speaking as one, Protecting all that is good and rising as one against all that is evil.
The U.S.A is unique it is a relatively new nation born from settlers from many countries and cultures who decided to build a new and great nation the need to become a supper power was born of old enemies and perceived threats from them, but old enemies can become new friends, Germany and Japan are a prime example.
Australia is another example convicts were sent to pineal colonies and guarded by solders settlers traveled there in thousands to build an new life and they overcame all obstacles To built a great nation.
My dream if you like is that of a world of different people sharing all that is different about them, living in peace and harmony together. where there will be only one supper power, the human race itself.
Thanks for your comments

Hi DragonMage
Glad you took the risk
I Decided to start this thread because I care about and value all human life regardless of race creed or colour I look at my grandson and pray he will not have to die in some distant land just because we cant settle our differences in a peaceable manor.
Thanks

Hi Cloudbringer
Not too sure about the beacon hope perhaps a little spark. But who knows what will grow if enough people really want peace. ( I noticed some spelling mistakes of my own in my first post )
Thanks

Hi Fljotsdale
I dont expect everyone to agree with all that I say that is whole the point of posting a topic for discussion, to agree to disagree on some points but to find that common ground between us.
Thanks

This again is only my opinion what’s yours? agree? disagree? please tell us, Post it.
But please keep it friendly and inoffensive for if we cant here what hope is there.
