The only conflict that exists is in the minds
of people who lack cultural awareness.
And disrespect views that don't agree with their
own. It comes as a result of a "born to rule"
mentality that today no longer exists for most
people.

Canum Malum tells us that from his perspective
"Foxy is the bully." While previously stating that -

"I'm sure that Foxy has a flag burning to attend to."

Once again proving my point.

I rest my case.

cont'd ...

Christopher Hitchens stated:

"The empire on which the sun never set was also the
empire on which the gore never dried."

" You simply cannot take pride in the imperialist
atrocities of your ancestors and at the same time
call yourself a civilized human."

Dear Nathan,

Thank You for raising this topic.

This discussion has certainly been robust.
However for me it's now run its course and
I have nothing further to add.

I look am looking forward to our next discussion.

Again - Thanks for raising this topic.
It's been interesting.

Dear Nathan,

«I agree nationalism is a posion I don't want to ever take or give to somebody else. Is there therefore a case for a unity flag, one that will encompass all people and is a movement (in principle) toward world peace and tranquility?»

If there is such a case then I cannot see it.

While we are united at the core, not even just all people but everyone and everything, you speak of some flag that could affect us positively on the mental level towards peace and tranquility. Well perhaps this could be done following some 100 years without any flags and the associated connotations we became used to around them, but as it stands we still retain such mental impressions so despite all good intentions, flags are likely to trigger their violent history instead.

Peace and tranquility, I'm afraid, can only be accrued by inner spiritual effort and divine grace.

I've been reading some interesting articles on Narcissism.
