I don't know what I will do...anyway you guys got any ideas?

I was thinking about writing to my MP....or something along those lines....I don't know maybe there will be a rally filled with hippies....I'll go to that....

Ignore it for the futile bullshit that it is. Anyone who sends in a penny is either looking for a tax deduction or else has sawdust between his ears.

Jesus Christ, omnirook. I do hope you come here mainly to vent your overactive spleen and are then more content to be ameniable otherwise. If not, people around you must live in fear of saying anything about the modern world.

Ha, nice cross-promotion.

Nothing.

:eek:

THERE'S A CROISSANT DAY??

Well I think it's lovely that croissant day and Peace day are intertwined. I find little more peaceful than enjoying a croissant.

[Rice-Tactics]

I wont go to war with anyone on that day.:sadbanana:

I prefer baguettes. I refuse to move from my chair or eat till a baguette day is instituted.

I was thinking about going into advertising for a while there....

Anyway...

What about spamming internet forums with the message of peace and tolerance....


Just a question....If I wanted to send out spam in mass...how would I do so? Other then chain letter....

Well we can't possibly come up with a day for every bread and pastry available.

[attila_the_hunny]

The same thing I do every day, Pinky...

Er... I think we can. There is a Burmese Martyrs' day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_Martyrs%27_Day), for God's sake, why not a baguette day?!

[Lurker]

Sorry, I'll skip it. Peace is overrated.

[Jacque]

I hate to upset the cynics, but Peace Day wasn't just a trivial bureaucratic overture created to satisfy the self-pity and pretension of the elite who instigate the very wars they warn against.

There was a real struggle to make Peace Day (http://www.peaceoneday.org/Default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1) into a reality. And because of 9/11 it almost failed, but war has its unforeseen costs and peace is back in demand.

Peace always pays for war: "To live well in peace is to do well in war."

[Katzchen]

Er... I think we can. There is a Burmese Martyrs' day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_Martyrs%27_Day), for God's sake, why not a baguette day?!

Because there's already a croissant day, that's why. If we made a baguette day then people would be all "really? oh well I prefer strudel" or whatever and we'd have to make a strudel day and then people would be all "really? well I prefer poptarts" completely ignoring the fact that poptarts are disgusting and have nothing worth mentioning in common with the pioneer of all this nonsense, croissants. And then all of these days would be overlooked as mere frivolity and the sanctity of croissant day would be lost forever.

That's why.

"Peace" right now is impossible. True peace, at least. We could have some kind of forced peace, but that would just be sweeping the dirt under the mat. There's a lot of issues that need to be solved before we can have true, beneficial, worldwide unity.

Peace is about solving those issues....

A peace day is a symbol to the world that we can have one day...if only one day in which we can live in unity...one day a year...not asking a lot are they?

One day without war....that would be the greatest accomplishment in human history...if only tempory....

What effect does this have? How does this really promote "peace?"

It's a serious question.

Our problems on a personal levels develop into our problems in soceity...intolerence...hate...stupidity....

Peace is more then a world with out war it is also a world without hate....

[Anonymous]

The only people who such a peace day will really matter to, though, are the people who don't have a problem with peace. It's the people that want to blow other people up, like these folks (http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x240/thug2ryde/Terror.jpg), who we need to somehow get rid of before we can have peace. And to them, peace day's are going to be a negative thing.

Well that is one aspect of Spart, but the more tolerable side.

No the real David Spart has wishy-washy, 'hippish' ideas of peace and love, fuelled by venom and a great many ellipses.

For peace day, I'm going to vote up the article about it on reddit.

I wonder how many millions will come in. I wonder how many millions will disappear. I wonder how hard those who make the millions disappear will laugh. I suppose, that, in addition to the donations, there will be all sorts of crap for sale - bumper stickers, t-shirts, mugs, flags, posters - heaps and piles and mountains of shit - for sale. For the cause. Of course.
