This is the first post in a long time I've made.
I might as well tackle something big on my way back here!
I was reading an exchange between Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein about the nature of war and how to possibly get closer to world peace.
the exchange was made shortly after world war 2 and was encouraged by the UN.
I'll link the chain of letters between them here for those who don't know what I'm talking about:
http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/sub_document.cfm?document_id=3864

Anyway, back to the discussion; I personally want to withhold my opinion about war and the human condition until I hear yours, but I will post a poem that caught my eye titled: regarding war.
I want to know what you might think about the write because I think it raises interesting perspectives into the nature of man.
here is the poem.

"regarding war.
War the whore whom we use from shore to shore to implore countries to open doors through the use of gore. No one ever prepares fully for whatÂ’s in store. War makes craters, scars in the earth. Each crater a pit of passion from humanities' suffering, each corpse a sacrifice in a cry for help towards mother earth. Furnaces extended that smell of death with an angel siting at the hearth helping the ashes get to heaven from earth, a cry for help by the very suspects. Humanity is always a usual suspect. War tore four doors in each car, war tore more hearts apart than each departure through peace. war is our mark of the beast, and we embrace it with lust more so than any other condition we have. When will God round up the usual suspects? Each crater a mark on the earth, all humans want to make their mark, war has made its mark and will always be remembered as how it is and always will be. War never changes, because as much as we want to, neither do we fundamentally. War is the product of misplaced instinct through brute functionality that keeps order, but there no solid platform in the human mind that holds opinion ransom. Opinion to us is another potential threat from others. We never new we were brothers until we stumbled upon the threat of death, comradery through hell shows us that we find love through death. That is where our soul intercepts nature and pain never the same as a civilian. Life moves in indirect directions, war puts it all into two, life or death, the rest is up to you."

Tell me what you think down below, all opinions welcome!

I am known as ProudLiberal, and several people have made nasty comments about me. Have called me really absurd and insulting names. "I***t". "Wingnut". That sort of thing. I would like to state that I am not an i***t, not anything so horrible, which has been said of me, to me, based on the name I chose, which I am waiting to have changed. Do not judge me, unless you know me. As I said, I am originally from NYC, and have lived in France. We grew up very poor, and my father did really well, and I'd no idea we were poor. I was a very withdrawn child. As I said I grew up in a war zone. Whomever called me those names, you have no idea who I am, what has happened in my life. I am a bright, well read woman, with much life and a wonderful sense of being free of bondages of the past. I would like to state that yes, I am a Democrat, and I will v**e for Hillary Clinton. Elizabeth Warren will run for Senate, and will win, and then, at some point, she will be President. This a new world, whomever called me "names" - schoolyard, first grade, elementary school bullying. It's shocking in an adult. It is unkind. I have a belief that there is no "OTHER" - that there is only "ONE". We are all ONE. For better or worse. I believe there is that "golden rule", do unto others, as you would have done unto you. I think whoever you are, you need to perhaps review this most Christian of sentiments. :| :-( Nora in Oakland, California...

The atmosphere can be quite cut throat here, so its normal for a user with the name such as "proudliberal" to gain flak from conservatives and the like. well Nora, other than that little mishap, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

It sounds to me like Obama is determined to start a war with Russia no matter what. And this after k*****g our military. It sort of sounds like he doesn't want us to win another war, or even stand a chance. Either that, or he wants to start shooting nukes back and forth. Wh**ever it is, Obama is out of him mind..........


it sounds like you need more information and solid evidence before you say something like that, I dislike Obama as much as the next guy, but until we can get solid background info as to why and how the plane crashed and why markets are reacting the way they are, all we can do is sit back and watch. I might open a thread once I have more info.

Looks like Poroshenko might have thought it was Putins plane since they crossed paths in Warsaw B heard.


possibly, wouldn't it have pinged? we still don't know who shot it down when they most likely knew immediately. holding it from the public obviously, if the dow jones flop is related, probably I don't know why.
why a Malaysian flight went over ukraine in that route, I have no idea, but I am going to look into this later today.

Yep and gold shoot up $17.00 an oz.


ok I'm back, wait, wasn't the Malaysian flight more than a month ago? now they are seeing it in UKRAINE? now dow jones drops -161.39 (-0.94%).
I don't know if its the same Malaysian airlines flight but if it is the this is an obvious set up, I think it could have been the WH baiting Russia to shoot it down, and it happened to crash in Ukraine, a place of high political tension.
I am not saying this sets a dow crash in motion but I need more info before I say anymore. :!: :!: :?
