Re: Mind's Eye Re: Separatists, separation, independence and freedom

I started this discussion because I wanted to know the opinions of the members of this group on this topic. I think I have your opinions now. Now I want to present my opinions on this. I think that with technology that enables people to be informed and to voice their opinions in the form of a vote, a Swiss type of direct democratic referendum should be used to decide if a "friendly separation" is desired by a majority. As the world is getting so small, neighboring states  can try to have an influence in respecting the vote of the majority in this matter by recognizing any separation as a new country. There is just too much fighting to the bitter end to gain independence that I see on both a national level as well as on a family level. For the sake of children, fighting parents who can not resolve their problems should be encouraged to have a "friendly separation". For the sake of all people, fighting citizens who can not resolve their problems should be encouraged to have a "friendly separation"

To understand the rest of this group correctly, you either do not have an opinion on this at the moment, (ie. you don`t know) or you don`t care.

To understand you correctly, you prefer to force families to stay together (for the sake of the children) even though one or both parents would rather divorce. As far as your opinion on this at the national level, I do not really understand what your opinion is.  It seems to me that you prefer to have them fight it out (like in the "Good, Bad and the Ugly")

Okay, if you insist, we make it the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
And, yes of course, people should be forced to admit who their family is. Children deserve that. As for territorial separation as a form of gerrymandering, yes, also men's drawing beautiful straight lines through the African continent will catch him up one day.
The internet and social media could help to make things more transparent.

Again, as I said earlier, both instances of separation US vs Britain and Europe vs Soviet Union were the result of people banding together to conquer the common enemy.  In the case of the family or any other unit of people I don't agree with "forcing" people together.    In terms of "fighting to the bitter end" many world conflicts are resolved by bringing the opposition to its knees.   Conflicts that are never resolved only force the greater destruction over generations of time.

All the participants in this discussion except me, as far as I understand, are against giving people the choice to separate and be independent of the country they find themselves in. It seems to me that it means that all the participants that are against this "friendly separation" must be in favor of letting people fight to the bitter end for their separation, and/or for forcing people to stay united against their will.

My question to you all is the following: Do you feel the same way about forcing people to live together against their will also in families like in the case of divorce.

A second question: How about past historic events of "separation" like that in America from the British, or more recently in the eastern block countries in Europe from the Soviet Union'

......And no, I don't buy the friendly separation. You develop in different directions, yes. I find the choice argument particularly often used by those who have not been fairly voted into their ownership status btw.
