I don't think there will ever be world peace, because as long as there are 2 places, there's always going to be a jerk to come along and cause some garbage.

Maybe in a few thousand years from now. We live in a world that of juveniles who don't know how to get along.

World peace can never happen in my opinion not due because of America causing this and that but more due to the fact that humans will always have conflict with one another. Government shutdown in America right now, North Korea with a Nuclear weapons system Iron with uranium enrichment program and so on and so forth history repeats itself over and over. The Muslims fight the Christians years ago and it continues to this day with hate groups and ignorant people trying to sound smart. There is nothing we can do other then lead by example but we are human and mistakes will be made

As nice as world peace sounds, I don't think it can ever be possible. Many people have different views on different subjects, and most of these people cannot handle the fact that other individuals have different perspectives.
Problems can also be caused by just simply being different by either race, gender, orientation, or religion.
People are far from perfect and so is this world. 

I feel that world peace could eventually be possible, however, due to current, present-day standards and actions, I don't believe it could happen. People are just too different and very few can see eye to eye, or even compromise. The day everyone can share the same view is the day that world peace can happen. Unfortunately, for something such as everyone having the same point of view, there might possibly have to be some form of mind control that forces everyone to share the same viewpoint, but the morality behind that, and if it would ever happen, of that I am still uncertain.

The possibility of World Peace is a long way off, it wasn't that long ago in the scope of human history that the first World War started. We are still slaughtering each other daily in great numbers(Syria mostly for now). However, we do happen to live in the most peaceful times humanity has seen, and there's such a thing as global diplomacy now. We as humans are just now crawling out of our intellectual caves into enlightenment, and it's going to take a LONG time for us to get over our inherent primal urges to be violent towards people we're unaccustomed to.

I think world peace is possible. The world is ever shrinking and with understanding people are less likely to go to war. Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia are being rooted out of the culture of a lot of advanced societies. There are also some interesting scenarios that might affect this process.

1. Aliens. If Humans ever meet aliens will we feel an increased need to unite together because we now know for a fact that something far more different than any of us is out there? Nothing brings people together faster than a common enemy. And I've heard that when forced to work together in war even the biggest racist have formed tight relationships with those they would otherwise despise.

2. Immortality. Some people say that immortality could be only a hundred years away. How would that affect things? Would it slow things down because all the terrible people never really die? Would the terrible people stop being terrible with maturity or get worse?

It isn't really human nature to simply agree on everything. While some people may be able to just agree to disagree and avoid any real conflict, there will always be extremists who go to far and start something dangerous.

Edit: Oh, and sometimes people who are mentally ill manage to get their hands on weapons and hurt people. Just a couple weeks ago, a kid in my school district (but a different school) brought a gun, 400 rounds, and a couple knives to school and intended to hurt people. Luckily nobody got hurt. When interviewed, the kid said the voices in his head told him to do it. So yeah, you have to take that into account as well.

In my mind World Peace doesn't refer to a world without violence as much as a world without violent conflict between nations, cultures, or political factions.

Sadly, in my eyes, no.  With people like Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, and many more people that I don't know about, are why we will most likely never have world peace.

the only way world peace could possibly work, is if the world was all under the same rule. a single empire where all people are free to their way of life, and the countries within said empire could not interject their beliefs into another countries.

take for example what we do to the middle east, supposedly. we dont like how alot of countries over there run . we dont like how people are treated, how certain situations are handled, etc. so what do we do? we kill people. we invade and force them o accept OUR way of life. something people fail to understand, is just because we see something as being evil, does not make it so. if the majority of those people didnt want the rules they must abide by, they would not be living where they are. its never difficult to just leave. even with children, its not difficult. we did it before and can continue to do it, if your unhappy with the lives of your children, you guys GTFO, you dont stay to risk being killed for something you dont believe in.

but we dont have that. we have countless countries forced into a seemingly stable peace, where any time the bigger countries decide its time to start killing smaller countries again, nobody gives a s***. the only way, would be for someone to impose peace. to impose imperial rule, and enforce any breach of peace with total annihilation of those involved. thats not to say nuke the country because some guys in army fatigues attacked another country, but punish all of those directly involved. even the murderers who were "just doing their job". no mercy can be spared, for peace to work there must be an utter lack of mercy. a complete lack of conscience. someone must be willing, and able, to take total control, while forcing everyone to not respect, but tolerate others. they must be willing and able to enforce infractions, and they must be willing and able to accept the blood that will be on their hands. 

everytime someone comes along willing to do what must be done, the world unites against him. the last we had was Der Fuhrer, and when he tried to liberate us from the ones who own the world through debt, the rest of the world decided they would rather keep their pathetic lives of bowing to a master because something someone else did hundreds or thousands of years ago. we will never have peace, because this act would have to be done again, as every nation has tried, but done successfully. people are too conditioned, and the hebrews now have their own "country" so nobody can see the kind of people they are anymore. 

TetraDigm : I was going to respond to your post to ask what you were talking about but then I got to the end and it seemed like you were pro Hitler. I'm not sure if you really hate Jewish people or are just a huge troll. I'm leaning towards troll because can one seriously talk about forcing people to tolerate others and then get antisemitic so quickly afterwards?

Vincent1875 : incorrect in every way. i am not against any religion. i am however against the hebrews that live in isreal, and control the nations of the world into going to war for them. there is a vast difference between someone who follows a religion, and someone who is part of a closed group of people who breed hatred everywhere they go, and always have. yes, i am very pro hitler. dont get me wrong, i dont support what he did, but it WAS necessary. the hebrews were ruining germany, and had already done the same in many ways to every other country in the world. these people would have to be eliminated, because as they have shown throughout the past few thousand years, if you give them the benefit of the doubt and leave them alone after chasing them off, they will come back in 50 years, owning your entire country through debt you unknowingly accumulated through the proxies that said hebrews have setup in every thing that they can.

i dont support killing, but i do understand that there are times when it is necesary. and for the record, hitler did NOT try eliminating them first. he collected the jews(it was difficult to distinguish who was actually hebrew(race, not religon) and who was just related to jews(religion, not race), so they were all lumped together. they were shipped away from germany via trains, and then they were shipped back by some countries, because they didnt want them, and some made countries start interfering with germany, and thus causing a war. you need to understand that the majority of what is reported as happening in ww2, is complete lies. alot of it is propoganda made up during and after the war, to justify starting a war. germany did not start the war.

I really can't take you seriously. You're the one talking propaganda. Unless you have proof that most of the things reported about WW2 were lies then don't bother saying it. You can't just rewrite history to your liking without evidence to support it. Look at the world today. Nobody can keep anything secret. Do you seriously think that sort of propaganda wouldn't have come out by now?

I think its impossible, people are never content with what they have, they always want more.
