P&T Bullshit World Peace Part 1

Penn and Teller argue that the idea of utopian world peace is naïve and incompatible with human nature. They also argue that free trade and economic interdependence are the best means to achieve peace.

Peace would be a static system, like a unified government that makes sure there is only one opinion.

plain and simple.

Which isn`t a bad idea if its my opinion ;)

The only way to create world peace is to resist capitalism and prevent the concentration of power in unbalanced ways.

I hate all the garbage these guy brings onto television.

Things like this only further the idea that we can never have peace. It`s people like this that hold it back.

^^yyarin "The only way to create world peace is to resist capitalism and prevent the concentration of power in unbalanced ways."

That is spot on. Why was this person voted down? Capitalism is all about "every man for himself". We are human beings, not animals, yet we choose to act like animals and we use idiotic reasoning like GOD or "ITS IN OUR NATURE".

Nature is evolution and therefore up to us how we end up.

Im sorry but penn and teller is BULLSHIT, they said, she "thinks" theres a war machine causing the war, well sorry guys, but thats exactly what it is, but then its not your fault, you wouldnt be allowed to say that on TV anyway!!

as soon as we stop making weapons for profit we`ll have peace, as soon as we stop major corporataions risking OUR lives to make more profit we`ll have peace,

unfortunatley we will have to take this peace, but thats why they`v got us so well trained, 90% of people could be living in their on shit and they still wouldnt rise up to kill these fucks, so world peace is bullshit only because WE make it bullshit!!

you are the one that beleive this shit on the news, allow your selves to vbe devided by some asshole moouth piece on TV, and by into all the paraniod bullshit.

as long as people have their macdonalds and they`r shiny plastic goodies theyr never gonna rise up, so if you think we have it bad now? well its not gonna end well for your kids!!

The underlying premise of "utopia" and "world peace" is what they are calling out. As long as you have a free spirit and free will, you will never have either. That`s not a call for a police state or goverment control, it`s a fact.

It`s not about "the nature of man", more of a indictment on the society he creates. What you would view as utopia would appear as oppresion by another.

So it is an never ending cycle of one form bullshit after another. It as they all "in the eye of the beholder". You are going to see what you want and here what you like.

Your opinions are of little importance to those in charge.

damn rightwingers are so much better at playing The Game than lefties....notice how they label themselves as "pro-troops" or "pro-life", which basically means that liberals are anti-troops and pro-death.

Communism is man exploiting man. Capitalism is just the opposite.
