I'd turn that into a teachable moment.
''If someone resorts to violence that means someone was too stupid to accept being told "no".''
EndicottRoad59@Natasha_Jay Sorry, but I don't have an answer for you either, Calvin.
Geoff Coffey@Natasha_Jay I had just about this exact conversation with my grandpa—sitting on his lap—when I was Calvin's age. But in my story he said "I have no idea" and then started to cry.
Amans@amans "like" for solidarity, not, you know, because I like it.
@gwcoffey don't understand what you mean. You don't like what i said, Calvin, your grandfather, the struggling world, people crying ... ?
Or maybe you simply mean you're sorry 🙂 ?
I'm french you know and softly autistic
@amans I only meant I clicked "like" because we had a shared experience. It did not mean I like that you are sad! Santé !
Esme CiredutempsQp @Natasha_Jay does not feel like the original panel and it makes me furious
(Probably because it feels like a betrayal of Watterson's work)
I will apologize if it's the original panel but i'm not at home to check.
Telurius Eye@Natasha_Jay thinking out loud but it appears that there is no consensus on what the world's problems actually are.
Some countries might start wars to protect their grip on power, be it it's influence, treasury, or fear to be overrun by competing nations.
Some regimes want to protect a certain way of life, and view outside influence as a corrupting factor. Wealthier and more powerful societies can project culture that overwhelms local traditions.
Much of it seems to revolve around fear.
PatternChaser@Natasha_Jay Sadly, most will laugh at the joke, and not even notice there's serious wisdom here. Shame. 😢
