    The idea of absolute collectivism is... A utopian concept. Utopia whoever, is a hypothetical concept, any attempt of a utopian society would result only in a dystopian society. Dystopia is the idea of society that appears utopian, yet has one key flaw.

    Competition is what creates necessity. Necessity is the mother of invention. Once humanity left the nomadic lifestyle, all physical necessities were satisfied, relativly no new inventions would occur, with the exception of inventions to satisfy the need for food. This brings me to my main point.
    We as humands cannot live peacefully. To advance, we must compete with each other, because we have no more necessity. There is no goal without necessity. With no goal, we cannot advance. We must create necessity to have a goal. We must not become absolute collectivists. We must retain a form of indivuality, be it individuality of self, or individuality of a group.

    Absolute collectivism will not work.

basically, you just said...we can't have a utopia cause it's too boring and wouldn't have ipods.

utopian society...communism?  but does any of it beg for art and creativity?  No.  It's actually art, inevitable inequalities, and individuality that split us apart, and soon lead to war.

The world and creatures have been created perfectly in the eyes of God.  We challenge how society's "order" has come to be, but we find ourselves in a redundant cycle of argument and soon giving up in realization that any other way of life proposed would still be consequential.  You destroy art, you destroy souls; the quintessential causes of persistence in life and war.  Ironic but true.

Before I forget to ask, does this mean you are no longer a pacifist?

Hm...About a year ago we were lightly touching on politics and System of a Down(They were somehow related) and we got to talking about the war a bit, and I swear I heard you say you were a pacifist.  If you've had a heart change already, good for you :D
