SpaceNut, we had no topics in ** any ** of the Index Levels that contained the word Peace.
Our Senior Moderator, RobertDyck, has created a topic for War, and it seems to be going great guns, as befits one of mankinds favorite pastimes.
This topic is offered for those who might wish to think about how to realistically reduce chances of offending so many other human beings they feel they have no choice but to commit violence.
I have limited understanding of what might allow such an outcome, but here are a couple of suggestions:
1) Establish a strong military to deter those who are thoughtful from considering violence
2) Establish a strong culture with positive shared values including caring for each other, and for others not in the culture
3) Establish resilience to deal with those who commit violence despite the strong military.
There are probably many other helpful ideas. This topic is offered for them to receive consideration.

I missed this when it was first posted. Its a real classic.
2) Establish a strong culture with positive shared values including caring for each other, and for others not in the culture

So basically, you want a society in which men consider themselves citizens of the world and embrace all, but still have a strong common culture, regardless of colour, creed and religion, and at the same time, treat each other as brothers, pretending those differences don't exist. Do you see the inherent contradictions? This is exactly what the Left have been trying to push on western society for the past sixty years. The result is societies riven with racial hatred, violence and a breakdown of unity and social order.
If you want to build a cohesive society with less violence, the way forward is a society that is mono-ethnic, with shared religion serving as a social glue. You cannot introduce division and expect a society of brothers without the inevitable frictions that will result. That idea has been tested to death and it has never resulted in the sort of harmonious social fabric that you are proposing.
