WAR, let's think about it

Are you OPEN MIDNFUL to WAR. Can war, military action & all ever used for positives? Do you view war, and violence as negatives? Are you a peaceful "Ghandi" type, or are you Action oriented to pro-military violence?
This topic is relatively current, as the unruly, murderous, child killing dictatorship in SYRIA continues to rear its head in the real world. Personally, the thought of a government tyrant whom kills its own people and children is just awful! We could never even contemplate something like that happening here in the USA.
Should the UNITED STATES of AMERICA continue to be the World's policemen? Should we help the Syrian citizenry, and continue to be advocates for our model democracy? What do you think?
For me personally, this is a tough choice. Peace or violence. Normally I would choose peace. Also in Syria, it's really their problem. It's like a divorce, just get out of the way, and let it blow up and end. Why don't the Syria people just flee the country, and move? They could all vacate and relocate. The earth is large right? Then their wouldn't be any people for the Syrian president to screw over?
So, what do you think? What is your opinion? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to war? violence? Or to peaceful abstinence?

did you know that the original title for tolstoy's "war and peace" was "war, what is it good for?"

A good follow up discussion could be "Open Minded to Biological Weapons". And, a hard hitting interview with a real life, human, Syria person would be interesting.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
