People tend to get too carried away with their own particular mindset. We all have a sense of being right and self-righteous when others challenge our beliefs. If only people could see life as a continuous conversation...a continuum of knowledge, if you will, and not take everything so personally, we'd all be better off and a lot less stressed out.

people can not get along mainly because of personality clashes and racism issues. it majority isn't becuase people just do not like the look of people, it is becuase of racism issues and personality clashes. nothing more that can be said than that...

In nature there is competition and you have to fight and defend your turf. It is the same with people although sometimes we do it for the wrong reasons.

I already put this on the Olympics arguement, but what the hell.

Why can't people just get along? we are all from different religeons/lifestyles/cercomstances/backgrounds/beliefs etc. But why cant we see people for what they are human beings, if u take creed/colour/religeon out of it what have u got?. western beliefs of how big is your telly/keep upwith the jonses while people[including new born babies] in other countries are starving/dyeing from diseases that cost pennies to treat/no food or water. Please tell me is it me, am i missing the big picture[as well as my spelling]. Why why why cannot any human being get allong? If in western life having more possesions/wealth/debt/expectations on the young/bigger house etc, but where is the happiness? you see people with alot less but greatful and alot happier? so where is the sense in all this?. I veiwed a programme last night where african albino men and women and children where hunted down so that their limbs could be sold for great riches, made me feel as thogh there is no hope, that after two millenion on this planet is wasted, people are people!!!, people are people!!!, please strip back this layer of religeous /monetary/social/belief led rubbish and help our fellow human yes human beings out, what or who ever gave us the rite to be bullys and where is the sense in where a country decides on spending masses of money on military strength and power while its people starve and die from disease/war and famine, please am i missing the point? which god said that the tyrant leaders life was worth more than the helpless baby?

Human ancestors needed to compete to survive. We are evolving to a stage in whence we do not need to compete to survive, but the innate nature is still there. Therefore we struggle against one another for no good reason.
