Why can't WE ALL get along ? Was there a problem before ?

We have all been willing to eat the grapes and asparagus the illegals harvested, and rejoiced in the low cost of our produce for years.  Morally, we have been complicit in the "CRIME" of their illegal status for a very long time. \n\nWhile consumers, employers, and the U.S. government winked and nodded, persons who originally came here to work for peanuts at backbreaking jobs are now demon lawbreakers and must go. It's time for all of us to accept our own personal and collective responsibility for the current situation, to resolve it justly, and start living up to what we all used to know as American ideals.

World peace is a misnomer. There has always been war on the earth, and there will be war long after we are gone from it. It is a sad truth that war is part of human nature. I would love it if the whole world could get along, but let's be honest, most of can't even get along with our neighbors and co-workers, much less the rest of the world.

There will not be peace in this world as long as there are two people left together to disagree.Such is the nature of the species.George Bush or no one else can alter human nature.

I agree, the people of this world have forgotten that God wants us to LOVE one another. No matter what religion or race. We all came from the same place. Our world is really a mess. I guess all we can do is Pray for things to get better. GOD BLESS YOU, for caring..

Not all people of any race like all people of another race.  People, even those who're not prejudiced, don't always like each other for a variety of reasons.  Do you like everyone in the world?  Aren't there people who get on your nerves, or people who're rude, or aggressive people, etc. that you just don't like?  The same holds true on this question.

maybe your personality/look just isn't compatible with the people you are surrounded by. i dunno i think that's my problem. everyone here hates me or treats me bad but people i meet from the other side of the country are nice and interesting. i'm definitely moving one of these days.

On Yahoo Answers? I doubt it! In real life interaction people face each other and have discussions, but the Internet is anonymous. Many people are more willing to state radical opinions in an extreme manner because there is less recourse and definitely less chance of getting punched in the nose. Could people get along? Yes if they chose to, but it is not going to happen. Much of what passes for political discussion on Yahoo Answers is purely designed to inflame rather than address actual issues of the day. Both sides are equally guilty and neither shows any evidence of change any time soon.\n\nEdit: The answers you are receiving here is a prime example of why it won't happen. In order for people to find common ground, they must first admit there is common ground. Just look at the answers here, most cannot fault their own side in the slightest, but instead place all the blame on the other.

Agreed. This country has big enough problems that need ANSWERS and it is frustrating when they haggle and dicker and argue and fight about whose solution is better. It looks terrible to other countries in the world as well, because it looks like we can't get along in Congress any better than the Sunni's or Shiites. \n\nI think it has come to the place in the century where we need to be a whole lot less partisan and a whole lot more moderate. We are in Iraq and other places in the world shouting democracy edicts to other governments and we haggle like children fighting over toys. It is awful.\n\nWhat I think we need to do is to start encouraging younger people in college and just out of college to throw out the boomers who have fermented this nasty tasting wine. We need to get rid of conservatives and liberals alike and Democrats and Republicans alike until they decide to get along. \n\nThese Congressional and legislative members are like the only child in a playpen full of babies. Totally unsure of how to get along with everyone.

Everyone can't get along all the time. It's part of being alive, fighting. They actually say that fighting is healthy for you, it helps you vent. What's the point of having one of those relationships where you never get mad at the other person? It's not the way to live!! You fight with anyone.. you're mother, father, siblings, friends, even strangers. Of course lovers are going to fight.. doesn't mean that don't love each other though.

*applauding*Thank you! Sometimes the only way to get along is to agree to disagree and move on.There's no need to be nasty about things.

Because anybody who goes around babbling "smile on your brother try to love one another" and "can't we all just get along?!" is highly ignorant to the real world and does not realize that people are different from each other and that not everybody can be loved, nor want to be.

Yes, and it's terrible. I think we should just learn to get along with each other and love each other. Instead of hating each other.

I get along well with men and have had a little difficulty over the years getting along with some women. I know part of it comes from having a mother, a female guardian  and girlfriends being mean to me when I was young. Today, I have plenty of female friends. \n\nI am a nice person and I know I am. I try and remember that if people are mean to me, it's about them, not me. If you're doing the best you can to be friendly and people are turning away from you, find some better people to hang out with. \n\nExamine your behavior to see if you are giving off any negative signals. Smile and be cheerful even if someone doesn't like you. Feel what you feel and let them feel whatever they want. You don't have any control over them anyway. Find a solution to your problems, leave the complaining for someone else. \n\nToday, I like myself so much that I find people are drawn to me. I hope you can find that place too.

where there is people...there is conflict...where there is conflict, hate is generated. You won't a place with peace. You have to find peace within yourself, and that would be enough to carry you trough a hard world

Expectations can be high. When they aren't met, we sometimes are less than tolerant. It is a matter of putting ourselves in the place of others in order to understand all circumstances. Then we can be more tolerant and less likely to lose our tempers. Awareness and understanding are key. Understand that we aren't all perfect..........we are fallable.
