It is possible to come to a comprmise on every issue that will suit everybody on earth. It wont be easy, but it can be done. Of course, that will ultimately mean making sacrifices yourself, and not many people I know of are willing to do that when it really comes down to it.

It is possible to come to a compromise on every issue that will suit everybody on earth. Rubbish. This is just so plainly untrue. Look at the Middle East, you've got two groups who want sole ownership of the same patch of dirt, because both think it belongs to them by the hand of god. How do you reconcile that ? I note they've been trying for a whil,e with no success. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

No, it's not possible to come to a compromise for everyone. For instance, most Nazi's will only be happy when all jews are dead. Is that a compromise anyone can live with? Millitant Muslims are likely to only be happy when Israel no longer exists. Is that a viable compromise? Some people simply will not compromise, which means they simply cannot be reasoned with. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

The wonderful word is compramisation. If it's spelled correctly anyway. ;) If you can reach a desicion that pleases 9/10, yet has showed some consideration for the 1/10 left out, then you will have 10 happy party's. If you make the desicion to support the 9/10 and ignore the 1, you will have 9 party's unwilling to sacrifice and 1 very, very pissed one. And we all know what 1 very, very pisse party is capable of :|

reaching a consensus while all are still considered. ... You can never please people when their views exist so far outside the norms of society. So baling out from even bothing and making them hate you even more is the answer? Nothing is ever black and white, nothing will ever please everybody, but by considering the party's viewpoint from an unbiased position, and trying to understand why and how they drew their conclusions, would enable you to come to some kind of compramise that gave a little to each party, not matter how little that little may be. (if you can follow all those littles!) If you can't truly understand their views (and let's be blunt here, I doubt any of us really do), then how can you sit here and dictate to them what is right and what is wrong? Remember this? : Give a man a loaf of bread and he will feed his family for a week. Give a man a packet of wheat and he will grow wheat to turn into bread to feed his family for a year. Well the same concept applies to the current situation, but with reagards to views. We can't make truly fair and just desicions, so we shouldn't really look too deeply into these arguments. There are people who understand more, and these are the people making the desicions, but the final solution (if you will excuse the poor taste in using that phrase here) cannot be dicated to the terrorists. As hard as it may be to accept they are humans, and thus will not abandon their views - no matter how wrong they may appear to us - they are humans. Would you like somebody (or more importantly, would you accept somebody) telling you you could not be a Christian anymore, but instead must be a practising homosexual netball player? (Think of that in terms of concept and you should get the point I am pushing here). Both sides of the current situation are like deer with their horns locked. Neither side is willing to allow a concesion for the other, and thus nobody is going to move to the good-for-all solution. They will kjust keep fighting till one side breaks down. Five hundred years a go I would expect this, but today I would not.

I remember it being about fish but, whatever. The problem is our society is full of people that think you OWE them some beer, some drugs, and a big pot of money to go with it for reparations of some sort! Cheers, Ed Evans

It was a loaf of bread not a fish. How can you grow a fish yourself? You are getting confused with something else.

No, no. Not grow a fish. "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for one day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for the rest of his life. " http://members.aol.com/AAArrt/fish.html Same meaning, I hope. ;P Cheers, Ed Evans

Why, was that brought up? Well, I've seen the movie endlessly (young daughter ... please you've got to believe me), and Ginger uses the word "compromisation" when trying to resolve a dispute between band magaement and a group of semi-naked male Italian dancers. Just seemed to fit, for some reason ;P ;P ;P ----------------------- The sermon on the mount... Man 1 : Hear that? Blessed are the greek. Man 2 : The greek?
