What's the acceptable price for peace?

Please, interpret 'peace', 'acceptable', and 'price' as you like.

classicman · 09-25-2009, 11:33 AM

for whom?

lumberjim · 09-25-2009, 11:36 AM

$100 for a half and half?

henry quirk · 09-25-2009, 11:42 AM

I leave you to define that.

Is there a price for peace?

henry quirk · 09-25-2009, 11:58 AM

That depend entirely on how you interpret 'price' and 'peace'.

Two dollar - fifty.

fitty cent

Peace is being able to walk around without fear of being raped or murdered or caught in a bank robbery or a school shooting or being hit by a drunk driver or some punk-ass kid with a road vendetta who just broke up with his skank girlfriend or getting hit by drugwar crossfire or or or...

The price is the annihilation of the human race.

One nice, practical, definition for 'peace'...thanks.

But surely you mean, 'the annihilation of the human race' is the price for NOT having peace, yes?

Assumes facts contrary to existing evidence.

Humans have had the capacity to destroy themselves for 64 years, and have not had a year's peace in that time, yet they continue to infest the entire habitable world and Canada (apologies to HL Mencken).

This is the correct answer, and stated far more effectively than my attempt.
