Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This should show everyone that they should not believe everything they see or hear. In our modern world, everything is twisted out of proportion. We cannot trust men, and we cannot trust the media. Men can lie. The media scans facts and presents things in a skewed manner. We cannot trust politicians, celebrities, or our personal heroes. We cannot trust the past. Anything could be false. Anything could be fact.
So who do we trust? Nobody. Do not believe anything anyone says if it conflicts with your ideals and your common sense. Remain open, but not blind. Kony 2012 is a perfect opportunity to reach for the truth. I do not believe that either side is completely faking. I feel that both sides speak some degree of truth. However, it is critical we realize one thing. Some feel sympathy for the children, and they side with Invisible Inc. Then we have another side. This side claims K12 to be a scam. Yet, they are no different: they quickly accept information without truly thinking it through. Perhaps they feel some need to rise above the majority? Think about everything. Don't support the first man or the last man there. I've seen people blindly agree with the first source they encounter. And I've seen others listen to each new piece of news and abandon what they've heard before. Only when more conflicts arise do they finally take a side.
So what do we do? We listen. We watch. And we wait patiently. We seek new details, and after much thought, we decide which side we support. Never become blind to the opposition. Hopefully this shall not end as it did with Gaddafi. The truth must come to light. We cannot trust Kony or Invisible Children, only our conscience.

A critical skill should learn is defending another even if they are not on your side. Even if you disagree, and especially when no one else is willing. This is also a wonderful way to see things was another point-of-view. (Hopefully you are unbiased.)

First one is liberation. Second reason is profit. I never said war is not a way of profit too.

True, true, true. War for liberation is never excusable. Man shall always fight for his right. However, I disagree with your second point. Personally, I think that will not aid your, and instead, it will harm your thesis. I don't see it as a good idea.

War never stops. The question is dumb by itself.

War will stop. One day, war will stop.

TL;DR: I was given to write an essay about how bad war is. I think war isnâEUTMt that bad because there are many people beside soldiers who benefit from this.

I disagree. War is never directly beneficial. Yes, in the long run, world war two gave us nuclear technology and the computer. But the damage caused at the moment was not worth it. It's all about the money. And yet it's not about the money. We may wage war for cash. But war is not meant to waged for cash. War isn't meant to waged.

So? The actions of a single man should never represent a group. After all, are we to assume every major group is but an army worst case scenarios? Many individuals within groups have done terrible things. But are they to represent the entire group? Should we use this to judge the entire group? Such as the Japanese at Nanjing? or the Israelite crackdown on the Palestinians? What of conservative Muslims? An individual should never represent a group. I disagree with your train of thought. One man should not and cannot ever fully represent his peers.

And the news media should be ashamed for trying to rationalize why this psychopath killed so many people.

This I agree with. Murder is murder. Insanity is insanity. There is no defense. (Unless you see insanity as a defense.)
And on a side note, I'm still a little confused over your statement. Who are you directing your anger towards? The soldiers? or the media?

I don't care if one of you thinks beer is worse than marijuana. I am having none of either. Drugs kill.

You all missed the point. This poetic sequence refers to the love he desires, but cannot find. She isn't there yet.

Good my dear sir, now that you know the truth, can you recall any part of your life? If indeed, then you would know that dreaming feels very different from this. And by insisting that you are in a dream, you have concluded that we are not real men. And be quite sure about this: we are very real.

Judaism is a religion. Jews are followers of that religion. It should not be considered as a race.

Sorry, I cannot ascertain the facts. It may simply be a conspiracy theory.

There is one single critical issue with Socialism.
Socialism is without a doubt one of the greatest systems, but it is nothing more than a vision. Socialism will one day dominate the world, but it calls for all of humanity to make great changes, spiritual and intellectual. Socialism is a society for a higher race, a state of being that we have not yet achieved. In this day and age, only a dictator could ensure that Socialism stays intact. And even then, the people are too savage and needy. Socialism would function only under the circumstance that humans become self governing. And that's where the fatal issue lies. We don't recognize our inability to work with each other. Developing countries see the benefits of socialism, but in the process, they skip critical steps in civilized development. Even with a strong ruler, when they die, the system will collapse.
Socialism is a engaging, philosophical way of life. Humans are not made for this. They may not be ready for a thousand years. They need more time before they will be fully prepared for this form of government. In the current age, people are beginning to see the benefits of socialism, but they do not think deeply enough. We must attack our lifestyle to it's base if we are to take on socialism.
The epitome of humanity will be defined by their society: a democratic, socialist anarchy. It is the epitome of society, the pinnacle of civilization. And we're not ready for it. We cannot live without laws. Individuals may survive, but the individuals of the human species will kill each other. Even developed countries operate under a tight knit string on the edge of a knife. Humanity has a long road to travel. But in the end, socialism shall become the governing force.

The western world doesn't want nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of nations they do not trust. The Western World wished to stop North Korea. They couldn't. They asked for Pakistan to end it's program. It didn't. It shall ask the same of Iran. And this may yet again end in failure. But I don't see this as a negative. The Americans would like to believe this world is theirs. It is not. They cannot control the many other nations, and they cannot control billions of other men. Yet, they still seek to maintain control over everyone else. Israel has weapons, nuclear in nature. So does India. But unlike Iran, US relations with Israel and other countries aren't so strained. This is a trust issue. The West cannot guess what Iran will do if it does manage to build a bomb. But in the end, we should view this as no more than an act of rebellion, and more importantly self-defense. Iran may not take action, but Israel may. That is the center of the issue
