- NEW!
We all live in different worlds that we perceive based on our own limited knowledge, experiences, and wisdom. Most don't give any thought to this. Instead, they assume everyone else's world works the same way as their own. What one person sees as an obvious decision in their world with only one answer may be a different obvious single answer in another's world. Sometimes those differences are ripe for conflict.
lovely thought but greed , mistrust & stubborn ness get in the way

Most of us get along just fine.
You just hear more about the ones who don't get along.
I've been on AB for almost 3 years and have seen plenty of conflict between members ... but most of us have no problems with each other and have lots of fun. AB is what you make of it.

That would be nice, but we are all humans.
That reduces the likelihood to about zip, sad to say.

I would love to.
by JimmyG on October 12th, 2008
No, because in every group, from the local PTA to the Community of Nations, there is always, ALWAYS, at least one dickhead who wants his way at the expense of everyone else.

Once the structures of organised religion crumble.
by Barcaluv on July 9th, 2007
I would really like that. However, some people make that positive thought very hard to accomplish.

Oh if only we could, how much better the world would be.

If people stopped asking questions pertaining to god, I think we might.
by .gone. on September 14th, 2008
Apparently not, mate. Sad, isn't it?

Ouch. Downrated for what?
by Mushen on July 9th, 2007
It would appear not.
by Patti jo on July 9th, 2007
I'm with you Momma_Bear - sadly some just try to hurt others and there's no reason for that

Most members do not take AB too seriously and get along just fine with others.
An easy solution to getting along with members is to not answer questions of those members you have taken a dislike to or you feel that they dislike you.
There are a lot of other fishes in the sea.
by Cruiser on October 19th, 2011
No....and you can't make me!
by AnonymousGirl on October 19th, 2011
Apparently not.

I think Jimi Hendrix said it best:
Only when the power of love is stronger than the love of power, will we know peace...
by Bowen on July 24th, 2009
It's a pleasant fantasy, but most humans are too intolerant and inflexible to give up anything they feel they deserve. The fact that some of us are willing to go to war for little more than petty revenge and political brownie points suggests that we as a species have a lot of maturing to do.

i tink it is very nice here on this sight+1

Greed and than you have avarice, yep, about takes care of it.

Nice to see you again, Rodney King. How's LA? ^_^
by vagasso on December 16th, 2008
Just cause I don't like you :)
by DreAnna on December 16th, 2008
It goes against human nature..everyone getting along as well as world peace will never be achieved. :)
by Over and Out on December 16th, 2008
Well, we sure can Stealth!! Let's compromise and I'm sure we can find a way.
by orsonwelles on October 13th, 2008
Probably not...but I wish we could.
by Anonymous on October 12th, 2008
I have no difficulty doing so, and i'm sorry if you do :)
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on October 12th, 2008
That would be nice.
by LeeLee Chickybabe Avenger SLAB on October 12th, 2008
I thought that I was doing pretty well :P
by myeverything on September 14th, 2008
nope how sad =( i wish we did
by BigDaddyBS on September 14th, 2008
Seems that a lot of people can, but there's that small group who seem to make it hell-on-earth for a lotta people.
by Blink on September 14th, 2008
i would say yes...BUT NO! muaha
by peterpam on July 9th, 2007
A nice idea but the world would be bland with no display of convictions. Can you imagine parliament or AB for that matter. We will never all get along but sadly the violence due to differring opinion is on a grand scale!
by stacizzle1990 on January 18th, 2011
This would be too easy and in life nothing is easy! I wish everyone got along as well, but it will never happen. At least not in this society.
by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on January 18th, 2011
Everyone is not same and some of them are egocentric.
by Dibley on September 8th, 2009
Life doesn't work that way!
by Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN on July 24th, 2009
Because life is a game.
Some of us are finite players and others are infinite players.
It requires both to make the world function and we simply cant all get along as a result.
If we did, nothing would ever get done.
by spunky on March 3rd, 2009
Good question!Maybe one day,that would be nice:)
by Laurene on March 3rd, 2009
i think we can, no i know we can!
by angry_onion on March 3rd, 2009
Not yet, but in the future we will. Nice to be looking forward to it...
