Punish criminals to a harsh standard. If they steal, cut of a hand. If its a sexual crime, castration. If its murder, death by the victims family. No more prison system, instant punishment after verdict. No wait time. You would have to make pushing your agenda illegal. Preaching in public would have to be illegal, protesting would have to be illegal.

The only way to have world peace or tolerance is to encourage it through force. Pretty much get rid of the constitution, bill of rights, and any other human rights laws. Even then there will be resistance.

Its pretty much where society is now. This is about as tolerant as we can be without all fallowing the same faith or non faith based beliefs. If there where only two people left on the earth, there would still be war.

I've said it before... Hate spreads like a wildfire, while peace dwindles like a candle almost out of wax.
Yeah totalitarian regimes breed world peace, lol

I agree, though. Discord seems to be an ESSENTIAL feature of existence. If species did not compete against each other, they wouldn't be here in the first place!
