    I need to grow up? These aren’t trivial problems. Both sides have watched thousands of their people killed, both feel like their concerns about those events are not addressed, and when you step in having experienced none of it and tell them it doesn’t matter, and we’re starting over now, and you expect them all to get in line? Good luck. It certainly worked every time they’ve tried it over the past hundred or so years, so I’m sure you’ve got it figured out with your righteous anger. They’ll forget all about the injustices they’ve suffered from each other the moment you call it bullshit. Very enlightened and exactly how humans work. I’m sure you think that cursing at me makes all those decades of family members ripped from their homes go away, but as an adult, I hope you can learn to think about things a little bit deeper than your momentary anger.

    People being killed will never ever stop until you address the underlying causes. It doesn’t matter how much you force them. Just like with those children, until you solve the underlying issue, the moment you stop applying external pressure they will go RIGHT back to their old behavior and you’ve solved nothing.

    We’re all on the same side here. We want the fighting and the violence to stop. But you won’t get any meaningful peace without addressing the reasons for the violence. Putting a lid on a boiling pot and declaring it will never boil over again by decree won’t do it, no matter how much you yell at the pot. You have to turn down the heat.

      The “underlying causes” are irrational hatred, infantile possession complex of land, and other bullshit that makes zero fucking sense. Yes, you need to grow up if you can’t see that these people are acting like little children and hurting people in the process. Wake the fuck up.

        Sure, you’re right. You’ve got it all figured out. You have a good one.

          Yeah, this sounds about right, ignore common sense and logic and continue believing you’re right to the bitter end. This is what is wrong with our society. Enjoy watching it all crash and burn and I’ll be there at the end to say I fucking told you so.
