    although i am a member of it so ill be doing a little self bashing.. i find most human life disguisting.. were insensitive killing machines, who need to dominate and destory just to fill up there happy little egos.. we do have our do points cause obviously we a naturally a constant mixture of good and bad, but the mere ideals of good and bad are trival, and are often sold off to the next form of flashy propaganda..
    i know i must seem extremely cinical.. that is if what i said made any sense to you.. but its not all untrue.. just a critical look around.. im not all negative.. i beleive all life is beautiful, including human.. but that outlook get tarnished with the ever growing defacation of that beauty by the human race its self.. were slowly doing ourslves in.. with our bombs and our fast food chains and our finger on a constantly changing enemy and a constantly growing need for power.. and the constantly decreasing value of sweet innocent life.. welcome to humanity...

    finally! someone else who's goal is not wealth!
    and that whole *acting white* thing is just ignorant.. skin tone doesnt come with a rule book of black and white conduct.. see this is a perfect example.. segragation.. the division and classifation of one race.. turning against each other and against itself, becoming eletists of one thing or another.. no one person being white enough.. black enough.. female enough.. male enough.. straigth enough.. ideal enough to fit the contorted little cookie cutter that the creator its self couldnt even fit into..

    Well ye are of course right about the state of the human race being bad. But I find that concerning myself with these things to be a pointless excercise. Concentrating on fulfilling your own goals and pleasures what ever they are is much more rewarding.
    And not in a selfish way, as that probably reads like.
    And most of all have fun.

    I can't say that I have any drive to be rich either. But I'd like enough money to do what I like to do.

    hmmmmmmmm....

    I know, there is quite a bit of violence and hatred in this world. I see it everyday wherever I look, death and violence and cursing, etc. I used to be depressed like every single day because I could only concentrate on the bad, but I had yet to open my eyes to the good on Earth. World Youth Day was a real eye opener for me and helped me to realize that there is bad on earth, but as a person who recognizes this evil I can make a difference! and so can all of you, especially if you are the ones who also recognize this... For the past while I've been trying to help people, and the best way to help others is to teach them about God, because God is Love... (in my opinion of course, because He has made me happy in experience). And I wish that there were no type of discriminating in the world, because we are all the same race and the same family.

    And whenever I do have people make fun of me for (stupid reasons) I sort of am sorry for them. I mean for them to do that I know that they probably have something deep inside of them that hurts them and they are trying to hurt you to make themselves feel better. I sort of learned this by a retreat I went to and everyone talked about their problems in life and we helped one another... but the people who hurt me the most were the ones who hurt the most themselves.

    "And whenever I do have people make fun of me for (stupid reasons) I sort of am sorry for them"

    Some people don't like others preaching to them about their religion. And I guess they express this by making fun of it.
    Religion isn't for everybody. And I don't think it helps that's you assume that they are hurting inside either.
    You seem to have good intentions but I think that it's a lack of understanding on both sides.

    Sorry to upset you :(

    I guess I see what you mean there >< This isn't really just my religion, more like philosophies and so on that are my opinion (and I don't try to force these on anyone). But I guess feeling sorry for and forgiving them (in my opinion) is better than having a grudge on them.

    I guess that people can just make fun of others because it makes them look cool as well. I can't stand it when people do this >< But I do understand also (well I'm not sure if this is fact, I learned it in Politics) that everyone has a different Poltical Socialization. This is given to them by their parents, television, music, their environment. And this is what causes them to think that some things are right when they may be wrong to others. Like if a kid sees their parents insulting short people, then they may think that it's okay to do so themselves. I still don't think that this is an excuse for someone to go and hurt, or even kill other people though.

    Man can i make good threads OR what..

    Anyway I agree 100% with Rei and what she said.. And as far as leting this cruel world get me down. I dont let it bother me.. the only thing in life that can get me down is if I die alone and not be able to see the world.. Other then that I dont care how cruel the world is because im going to take whatever life gives me head on..

    But the Humman race when you look at it is one mean race. ( though we dont have any alien friends to compare ourselves to) But we are mean and the nature of our race will NEVER change. its like a dog who wants to be a cat.. cant happen.. If you go back 1000 years ago.. the human race is just as cruel then as it is now, just different times and some new problems..

    And I hate to say this But Religion is good for the person who fallows it But is EXTREEML Bad for the mass's.. Turn on CNN, BBC or whatever news you watch and take a look at the world.. listen to all the fighting and then look at why they are fighting.. Religion..


    But there is always hope.. Never Forget about Hope.. Believe in it till the day you die..

    I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of trying to force it on anyone.
    It's just some people(not really me though) if you start telling them about god and all that, they could see it as you trying to tell them that they would be better off and that your way of life is better. It's really just with rebelious teens and the like. And we've all been there at some point. But that's just a phase and they'll make up their own minds eventually.

    oh and don't worry I wasn't upset.

    Humanity in general is going into the pits. But when hasn't that really happened in the past century? Before, we oppressed women and the world was bad enough because we didn't respect those whom we should be partners with, not "betters off". Life, if you look at it from a broad view, always seems like it's decaying and rapidly coming down from whatever pedestal it came from before.

    But, personally, I prefer to look at things closer to home. If my family and my friends are happy and they in turn make their friends and family happy...then the world which I'm truly a part of (that being those who are family, in the literal and figurative sense of the word) is good. Trying to cope with the outlook of every single person and humanity in general always looks to be a losing battle.

    Bah, I don't know, I'm ranting and raving about something I try not to think about too much. I'll suffice it to say that I'm going to believe that no matter how degraded humanity seems, seeing that the people around me who are important try to break away from that to make themselves better...then I'll be as happy as I can be.

    We stopped evolving. We started wearing clothing, so we never evolved to live in, oh, say, the far north.

    As for goverment...The whole system is corrupt. Religion is a good thing, as we kind of saw in the "Life after Death And God" thread.

    Our brains continued to evolve, but the rest stayed the same.

    Some days I'm really depresseed looking at the world. Look what man's done! Driving along the river, I see the dam and the man made lake that will fill in with silt, and all the irrigation will go to crap. I see all the pines turning brown thanks to Bark Beetle, brought over on some ship.

    But then I think "if this was 100 years ago, my dad would be dead (he's 46, the average life expectancy 100 years ago in the states) If you go back far enough, I'd be dead by now. Fast food killing us? What a crock of ****. We are living longer now than ever before.

    Wars happen, true. Yet still I see the capacity for change there. Europe has had so many freaking wars, yet for half a century western Europe really hasn't had any among themselves. (I know there are basque seperatists, and Northern Ireland isn't always the happiest place) What I mean to say though is that large numbers of nations have stopped fighting each other. They have seen each other as similar enough not to have to fight. Someday I feel most people will be in this state. All brought about by the wonders of free trade and capitalism, where all are equal and no one goes without.. oh wait... Not that socialism is any better. Hell, no human institution is. (fortunately for me [and unfortunately for the masses as Kame would say]) I am religious, so I have that belief that there is a higher power that is just and is capable of a perfect institution.

    Anyway, as far sa humanity goes, I am in at least partial agreement with the pessimists. Still, anyone that tells me everything sucks is full of it :D

    I dunno about the fast food thing though. I don't live in the US but I know poeple who've lived there and they say theirs a hell of a lot obese people.
    Whatever people say about being comfortable with yourself and you size and all that. It's not healthy.
    It's getting like that here to. Apparently Irish are the unhealthyest people in europe. I'd believe it to, everyone eats junk food all the time .

    Kame-- Well, yeah, of course there are the inuit, but they don't go walking around naked. o.o I hope they don't, I have inuit relatives.

    Well, let's all do our part to help the human race evolve, let's go running around naked in Iqaluit! ;)

    Honestly, if we ever do evolve phsyically anymore, I don't think it's anywhere in the near...millenia. I mean, consider it, we adapt to our environment by using our minds...so there's no actual need for us to adapt to say...have an extra arm or so. If anything, we constantly "evolve" due to our adapting to whatever environment we happen upon. Granted, that this "evolution" of sorts is mostly harmful to whatever habitat it is. Still though, sharks haven't evolved since they've begun eating the fishies because their instincts are well-honed and perfect for their lives.

    As far as humans are concerned, we may adapt physically by getting another layer of fat for extreme cold or whatever...but as young as the human race is (only millenias old), we've come pretty darn far on our own, so evolving seems like a moot point because we kill everything anyway.

    Pessimistic and optimistic view, rolled into one and served on a silver platter beside a half-empty cup of lemonade. NARF!

    Why not a thick coat of fur. That'd be cool.
    Think about it.
    We'd be Wookies!
    Better start practicing your roars.
