It is in the best intrests of the World and those societies that they learn to get along....and how and when that happens no one knows

Catholics and Protestants have had how long(hint,longer) and that doesnt stop the bombs in Ireland,it certainly didnt stop a kid I was friends with informing my catholic ass growing up that the "Pope was a minion of Satan" and my best friend agreeing with him
