#violence solves nothing #but i think im funny

Gen'rals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning, As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind, Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord yeah Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role for the poor, yeah Time will tell on their power minds, Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah Now in darkness world stops turning, Ashes where the bodies burning No more War Pigs have the power, Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the war pigs crawling,Begging mercies for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings Oh Lord yeah

“World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.” ― Dalai Lama XIV

While I think there is more derision than ever in our country and leaders that perpetuate violence, the one thing we can hold to is each and every one of us can be the change we wish to see in the world. Start inward and more outward. Don't think what can I do, just do something. Be kind, teach your children kindness, be proactive, make the world a better place.

I can't believe this needs to be said but

Cates does NOT deserve death threats! If you don't like how the story is going, just ignore it until a better one comes along. Or hey maybe just accept that not all stories (or relationships) have happy outcomes and move on.

Just a few thoughts about the last week....

I'm Canadian, but I'm still effected by the recent tragedies that have occurred in a 3 day span in the last week. Senseless murders of men. Alton Sterling pinned on the ground by police was no threat but still was shot and killed. Philando Castile being shot by an officer for reaching for his licence and killed. 5 Officers in Dallas killed only because they were police. And most recently a man shot in Houston who was carrying a gun. It's incredibly sad and it makes everyone angry.

Protests are great but mob mentality can set in and that creates more damage as people riot and with emotions are high and people get hurt. Yes in some of these cases I would say it's a case of racism. But that doesn't mean all Police are racist. There are officers who, because they have a little authority, think that they can do whatever they want without any consequences. Unfortunately, some get away with their crimes while others actually do pay the price for their actions.

It makes me angry that a person or persons who are supposed to protect the people, all the people not just ones they feel deserve it. Abuse their power and use bullshit excuses and blatant lies to cover their tracks.

Every time we try to progress as a society, something happens that sets us back. Not ALL cops are bad. Not ALL black people are criminals. Not ALL white people are racist. We need to stop stereotyping people. We need to stop fighting fire with fire because that does nothing but create a bigger fire. Violence solves nothing. It just creates more violence. Trying to get the Government to changes gun laws is great but it's not the gun that kills it's the one who operates the gun that kills.

I personally believe that automatic weapons, (Police/Military grade weapons) have no place outside of police or military environments. What should be done is for anything other than hunting rifles and basic handguns to be made inaccessible to the public. You could argue that there's still the black market and if someone wants something there will always be a way to get it. That's true. But unless you try you'll never know.

One persons actions shouldn't define an entire race or group. And I honestly believe that until that stops happening things won't get better. Not just in America but all over the world. We can do better as a society. The human race as a whole needs to do better.
