A nice thread

[headheart]

]I've been back for only a few weeks and already I'm bored-again. It's not that the threads aren't engaging but it's just that the topics are boring. (Mine too!)
What say you we talk about the things that unite us and not the things that separate us on this forum. I know it's not as much fun as the old tug-of-war but I'm sure that our readers could use a little cheering up.

I'll start it off with some music and leave it up to you.


Ten years after - I'd love to change to world

Is peace is possible?

Not for as long as we have the agenda of religious fundamentalists (either Christian or Islamic) of imposing their values on everyone, by whatever means, in the form of a Theocracy or Theonomy - i.e. Government by God.

Well, if you're looking for peace, even in a meta sense I daresay that isn't the way to bring it about. (i.e. no, I don't think we're all going to agree that peace is possible.)

Okay. Well how about we try for some of the things that unite us and not the things that separate us on this forum. I know it's not as much fun as the old tug-of-war but I'm sure that our readers could use a little cheering up?

Let's see if I can dial up the enthusiasm a bit. Here's Eric Clapton singing 'Change The World'

If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's only in my dreams

That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby, if I could, change the world

If I could be king, even for a day
I'd take you as my queen, I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule, this kingdom we have made
Till then I'll be a fool, wishin' for the day

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

Peace,
Eric

Nice one, Bert.

This'll be my last post to the forum as my personal commitments outweigh my love for forum jamming.

I'll end it with a video by Bob Marley singing Redemption Song.
Jah Rastari!

Peace,

'This was Marley's last single before his death on May 11, 1981. It sums up his life and what he stood for in his songs: freedom and redemption. Marley was a very spiritual singer who gave hope to the downtrodden in his native Jamaica, and whose message spread to the United States and around the world when he became a star.'
