The Resume

    Absence of hostility in favor of cultural and economic understanding
    Symbolized by two fingers extended upwards, the olive branch and the Peace Symbol
    Opposite of War

Why Peace might be annoying:

    Neville Chamberlain returned from Germany with 'peace in our time.' How did that turn out?
    The attempt to create a 'Department of Peace' in the United States always fails.
    The Nobel Peace Prize, its highest award, has been given to some decidedly non-peaceful individuals.
    The peace sign can also be used to give people rabbit ears.
    Some take the tack that it can only be achieved when all suffering ends. If all suffering ends, who will be annoyed enough to visit this website?
    Ruthlessness is sometimes required to establish it (as in, killing all those who destabilize the harmony).

Why Peace might not be annoying:

    If the outside world is fraught with war, one can still achieve inner peace.
    Those who practice it are in favor of nuclear disarmament.
    The Peace Symbol was popularized by Pablo Picasso.
    Nonviolent resistance is an expression of peace.
