I think that no one is loving peace more than I do. And only few are as much convinced that peace is imprinted into our genetics (and that thus an opposite condition of apathy can only lead to psychosis).
So, if longing for peace and vibes one should show compromising and unanimous. -In a coherent world. In the one we are living in however, upside-down, rewarding destructive, exploiting, selfish and insane policy ... one being moderate and harmonious, whether voluntarily or not, means to support inhumanity.
Being consequential in an insane world of monarchic elite, troubled majority and dying out creature must mean to be lively engaged and thus also involuntarily in dispute. Aside from sincere dispute being base for true harmony and friendship anyway, a perverse world like this one needs talking turkey most urgently.
With western Enlightment on a U-turn since almost 40 years now; more over even retard eastern sultanate mentality and autocracy taking over occidental regency and culture, what may be appearing like grinding ointment in a heated debate with fellows could actually be tomorrows humane butter. In need of a second renaissance, in fact it must.
For realization of what essentials it takes for sane societal change and a much lesser diverse species inhabited, still hopefully somewhat lively planet in only few years, it takes our exchange of arguments first, before hitting the streets.
The current insight that margarine isn´t really better than butter, seems not enough of realism yet to allow for love, peace and harmony. Unfortunately.
So, may we forgive each other, in the end accounting for best intentions. Only not omitting discourse. The sprout of humane civilization. -
Having said that: Butter just rose in price worldwide for a fat 50%.

Jeeze! Where you got to go to watch a good fight these days? Talk about cante accomp with no rajeo!!
Ppffffff. I bet you're not even a real goat!
You big meany!!! I'll eat your pot plants and defecate in your butter!!!
The great mammalogist George Schaller described in his book Stones of Silence the great lengths he would go to trekking through the mountains of the Indian sub-continent to clarify if the large ungulates there were sheep or goat. He would undergo immense hardship to be sure to arrive at exactly the right time of year (usually winter) when the large mountain billies would strut their stuff and display what sets them appart from the sheep. Schaller's defining criterion of what made goats goats and sheep sheep was that male goats, during the rut, would urinate down their hind legs and regularly flick their tongues over their penises.
So darn it, you might have just blown my cover. No matter how hard I try to become a goat, the self fellatio thing just isn't happening. That said, give me enough beer and I can urinate down my inner thigh with the best of them. So I'm a half-bread? Hmm, could go well with butter - the warmth of the bodily fluids melting it to just the right consistency. Now if I've learnt anything from this thread it is that a large Yamaha strap-on is what's needed - I could then pass my evenings practising my goat rutting routines to videos of Himalayan Blue Sheep (whom Schaller declared were definitely goats) on Discovery Channel.

Since uploading above post, I have been thinking about a certain foro fellow (he knows whom I mean), who will have perceived my late pointer at Bubbles´ artistic work as just another PITA by me.
That is when I think what a pity it is that we can´t sit together and swig down some sake. I would still be a PITA to him, and we would remain of very different opinion in some realm, while of shared intention within others. But at least he could see that I am having no actual animousity. To the contrary.
Long live sincere striving, anyhow! :O)
PS: Watching the ways theses apes bend over their paintings ... And how they paint ... So exactly similar to how kids do.
If fellow species only survive long enough, there will be animal rights appreciating a long under estimated intellectual and emotional world.
