Will 2016 be remembered as the year America decided to take on gun violence?

oh yeah...
they'll take on gun violence..
like the irish will stop ..
the entire middle east will stop....
why ...
everyone on the planet will all come to their senses....

hm.
naw...
never happen willingly ...
our species needs ai oversight...
left to our own devices...
the stars will burn out in the universe before people grow up.

Hell..
there was holiday festivities ...
father/husband gets upset...shoots the neighbours dead..
shoots his own wife dead...
then his son shoots the father dead...

all the kids ...toddlers...shooting their parents, shooting their siblings, shooting themselves...

Why stop?
All in the name of protecting what?
the right to kill one another....?
ach...deaf ears south of me...
with all the tragedy ...they haven't stopped yet...

Then why is that? I think we can. Just need to fix poverty, religions and a new Maemo device and it could happen, not under our life time but in 400 years?

It would help if aliens decide to show up!

Unless we destroyed earth by then.

Do not slag off fighting amongst the members of the same species. It is the driving force of evolution. It is not only in out mind set, it is in our very DNA. Sure the original reason for it was and still is the shortage of resources but even if the resources suddenly became truly infinite, it would take more than a few hundred years for the struggle to fade away. Evolution works on much longer time scales. Closer to geological epochs than generations.

But with an alien invasion even to most brainless radical militants come together...

We'll never live in a post-scarcity civilization due to human greed. Make the food available to all, somebody will always want more because it's in their nature. Greed is built-in to our behavior.

Aliens won't show up and stay if they're smart. Especially ones that have evolved past where we're at in regards to societal interactions and aspirations.

I don't think so...why don't all countries fight then? I don't think greed is the main issue...But yeah we 3 will come so be ready. I might invade your country soon...ahh, on second thought I just learned that I get more and live longer with peace and trade.

If they are smarter than us, they see things in different ways that we can only dream about so we can't understand how they would act or do. Maybe they are already here or left the building

fighting, greed, and all those other factors in our nature most certainly have helped us as a species as much as hindered us ..
Now there just isn't the room or the resource for it.
If we really believe that we are an adaptive, creative, reasoning, intelligent species good at problem solving...
then we should be able to adapt and change and thrive to the situation(s) we are now in and the many other situations we are racing toward...without going extinct (or driving harum scarum every other species to oblivion either...) from our own folly in the process...

My next post is ...sadly.... condolences....
