nonredneck...No kidding!! The essence of the FPI's violence theories are what upset most. Do you think that people would not notice despicable acts? Peaceful resolution is always a better approach. I don't think anyone here was born just a few seconds ago to understand what tolerance can do for one another and society for that matter.

Took notes of your reasoning behind what you call "my complaint".

nnredneck.....

I am indeed surprised about your knowledge of Sun Tzu. It's meant as a compliment, Mentioned it, because too many 'sarcasms' are floating around on this board.

Yes, indeed he treads on the line of 'non violence.'

Sun Tzu....a wise man.

agentmacgyver: The misinsterpretation of 'enemy of my enemy thing' sounds more mafialike than suntzu. Maybe worth pointing out that suntzu held in very high regard every strategies that doesn't spill a single blood. He's well aware that victory which may cause longterm discontent shall never be proposed as the primary objective. Enemy of my enemy thing is only useful to be applied as diplomatic pressure to force the opponent to abandon war. His writings on war strategies, is to prevent war or if war must happen, minimize war casualties on both sides.

TAH: I'm guessing rushdie learned from the events leading up to the exodus? So which is better in your view, separation OR unified(co-existence) ? What I'm getting to is whether or not segregation can actually prevent co-existence-violence in application to a diverse society like indo.

So..what's ur formal complain jetset? Pls note my prev post: "Different Mind" despite many disagreements(regardless whether or not,you or anybody think its overtone)I find ur conversation with everyone here pretty engaging. The only one I'm sure of to be indo is bawel with his constant message of "don't contaminate my(supposedly radical)society". Not that being an indo matters, but what I emphasize is the VIEWS that matters, not the"look". So now I wonder whther u're actually offended that I said ur views represented majority non-radical indo?

re "expert" on tolerance: I don't think I ever mention "expert" to refer to myself.What I consistently said is:I find my views constantly changes all the time,I find no point being an extremist on any single matter,bcs my beliefs tomorrow maybe different to what it is today,change is the only constant. & it is likely u missed my point on "regardless tolerance or not," non-violence is the most basic thing each individual can impose on themselves.
