No state solution: Would dissolution of Israel bring peace?

This suggestion is prompted by John Lennon's song "Imagine" about a world with no countries. To be precise, a world with no nation states. Americans ought to take the lead and initiate the dissolution of the USA in the same fashion as the ending of the Soviet Union.

People, of various different cultures, have been living naturally together among each other until their subjugation by divisive ideological power groups through the formation of governments. Power groupings are divisive.

Governments are corporations run by elites to control citizens for the achievement of nefarious agendas. Business enterprises are also corporations run by elites to gain profit at the expense of workers and minority shareholders.

Humanity are people. Governments are not, and they possess people the way the mind, when driven by rage, possess the body and commit it to kill other human bodies.

It's cultural mores that ultimately separate people, including the diverse religious beliefs practiced by many. What if Westerners enjoyed open same sex relationships, but Middle Eastern nations jailed, tortured or executed gay people? What if one culture's domestic law decrees women who commit adultery are beheaded? What if it's a simple law like banning women from driving or even walking in public alone without a chaperone? What if your culture is seen as deviant and corrupt by another, what if female genital mutilation is the accepted norm? How are those differences overcome, so people from different cultures can come together? I'm not holding my breath.

@Richard65 There are more forms of human debasement in the cities of the US than can be found anywhere outside America. You have no idea how bad the situation is in the land of the free. We even make movies about it. The reason is because we have no limits to our practice of immorality. Islamic hudud laws impose a limit to western immoral practices.

@sree251 nah, they just impose misogynistic restrictions on women whilst the men do whatever they like (unless they're homosexuals). We can choose to be immoral if we wish. They police your desires by authoritarian regulation.

@Richard65 Kind of sounds like Texas

@Richard65 You said: "They police your desires by authoritarian regulation."

And why not? Don't we police our desires in accordance with our laws also?

Richard65 · M

@sree251 you mean like same sex relationships being illegal? Adultery punished by beheading? Women having to be chaperoned against their will or not being allowed to drive? You know they aren't the same, because you contradict yourself. In your first reply you state Islamic law imposes a restriction on western immoral practices, but now you're making a false equivalence between them. Better make up your mind.

@Richard65 You are fixated on deviant sexuality. Islam is not America's guardian angel.

@sree251 I never said it was. That's a straw man argument, and you know it. I'd rather be free with the opportunity to be immoral if I so desire, than be a prisoner to someone else's idea of morality. And so would you, if you were honest.

@Richard65 You said: "And so would you, if you were honest."

To be honest, I have no sexual drive, moral or immoral. What's with you guys anyway? It seems to me that western culture is warped. Is this what life is all about, this constant need to stick it to someone?
