Default I have come to believe we are doomed. Stop the Violence.

Look at history, Every world leader who trys to impose his beliefs and/or ways has been taken down by another force of some sort.

Its not about power, its about getting along. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. All of my influences have never really hurt anyone, jsut did what they do.

gandhi, jesus, bob marley, jimmy buffet, Budha, God, Einstien, and all the others.

They werent power hungry, they just did what they do, needed to do. and they got it done.



How I propose to fix the problem, I propose that I help people, and you should to. I was made fun of in school, It hurt. I never let it get me down, I jsut walked away. I dont let other people sway me to much, Im nice to people, i help people out. What is wrong with people? I have done my fair share of hell raising, but Im sorry for it. I didnt mean to.

Seeing is believing and believing is seeing.

Just play nice.

I have to agree. Unfortunately people will never realise that life is a lot more fulfilling when you help and are helped by your fellow man. Now I'm not religious. At all. But I still believe in living a GOOD life. It's called social responsibility, something that is lacking in 90% of the population these days...

On social responsibility and the goodness of people:

Over the centuries, we've moved on from Scripture to accumulate precepts of ethical, legal and moral philosophy. We've evolved a liberal consensus of what we regard as underpinnings of decent society, such as the idea that we don't approve of slavery or discrimination on the grounds of race or sex, that we respect free speech and the rights of the individual. All of these things that have become second nature to our morals today owe very little to religion, and mostly have been won in opposition to the teeth of religion. - Richard Dawkins, quoted by Natalie Angiers in the NY Times "Confessions of a Lonely Atheist"

Most people are hostile because they think it makes them accepted in society. People will be complete assholes to me when they are with a group of friends but then later on they'll be a very good to me. Helping people does make me feel good about myself and I do it alot although I often get nothing in return or I lose something for that matter. Oh well, I guess i'll keep on carrying on with what makes me feel good even if I die poor, weak, and helpless. Fuck our society. Gah, I would type more but I'm drunk and really gotta pee. (speakin' of drunkness please excuse any spelling errors)

Posturing. The herd mentality takes over. It's more beneficial to win points with the group than with you, the individual.

I know people like that too. They suck.
