Hahahahahaha we're destroying our entire environment. It isn't long till we're gone, too.


These kind of [censored] comments just make me sick.

Hmmmm.... here's an idea. WHY NOT TRY TO BETTER THE HUMAN RACE AND YOURSELF?

But no, no one wants to try to make things better. They just resort to saying stupid [censored] like this.

With this kind of attitude, we are indeed all doomed. It is apathy which will kill us, not our mere existence on this planet.

And no, we are not a virus. Quit letting movies like the Matrix make decisions for you.

:rolleyes:

Jesus, everyone just seems to think we Humans should just die. Maybe we should? Maybe we should all just commit mass suicide to fix our planet? IT'S THE ONLY SOLUTION PEOPLE!!! WE MUST ALL DIE!!!!

My [censored] god. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

I beleive communism wanted to better the human race, we all know how that turned out.
Face it, its human nature to put yourself first, along with violence, people are violent selfish [censored] the sooner you just accept humanity will always be like that the better. No use resisting it. You only have to look at history to know we are just violent, greedy beings who just destroy and consume resources. I dont think we should die, because I am a human,but I really do hate our race/species.
The attitude wont kill us, our violent nature coupled with ever advancing (destructive) technology however...

I'm sorry, I don't think you really know anything about Humans and our nature.

You just focusing on, and greatly exaggerating, our violent nature. I mean really. Just re read your post and tell me that what you posted isn't just sensationalism at it's finest.

Your completely ignoring every other facet of our existence, besides violence.

Not to mention that you people seem to think we are the only species on this planet who is violent. Have any of you even looked at Nature recently???? It is full of [censored] violence. At least the mothers of our species don't eat their young. At least we aren't carnivores, whose sole purpose in life is to kill other beings for sustenance. Could you imagine if we were? We just happen to be the smartest species on the planet, and among the most populous.

Really though, just take a minute to actually think before posting these types of things. Same goes for all you other "Death to all Humans" people.

Makes me sick to my stomach that people can actually feel that way.....

Didnt say we were the only violent species, no we dont eat our young, instead we just drop bombs on eachother, poison eachother, and find new ways to kill eachother, God knows how many ways we already have but we are always finding more, and an new technology will just have people working on it thinking "so how can this be used to kill people", we are different from animals, they dont do things we do, we do things they dont. We have progressed fastest during war, we are constantly fighting, finding new ways to make eachother suffer, and new ways to exploit others. Nature is violent, but it gets worse when you have our minds and technology just adding to the violence. People hate/kill for anything, atleast most animalls do it for food. We just do it for stupid insignificant reasons. No I dont see my post as stupid, humanity is a destructive force, I see it as nothing more than destructive.

Please give me one way I could see humanity otherwise, something that can stand against all of our destructive nature, becaus I see nothing that goes against just how destutive we are.

I'll give you three: Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Read up on them and their ideologies, and you'll see that violence is neither the only answer nor the best.

Again, your focusing all of your post on to one aspect of our lives. Violence.

Your forgetting everything else that we do which makes us Human.

Your forgetting the leaps and bounds our technology has made over the last 100 years. You are completely ignoring the fact that we have doubled our lifespan. You are ignoring the fact that we have explored and learned countless libraries full of knowledge. You are forgetting the hundreds upon hundreds of books, music, movies which we have made. Not to mention the countless thousands of people who dedicate their lives for the sake of Conservation. Conservation of this planet and it's denizens.

I can go on and on and on and on about all the good things mankind has contributed to this Planet, and all of the improvements we have made for ourselves.

Your taking one narrow point, one narrow facet of Humanity, and your completely making it seem as if our sole goal on this planet is to murder each other in creative ways.

Humanity is in the bind it is now because of Ignorance. Apathy. Lack of Motivation.

We can change everything about the way we are. We can change, and fix almost all of the damage we have done to this Planet. We can do this, You, and everyone else just has to want to. It is as simple, and as difficult, as that.

Go and read some Carl Gustav Jung. Maybe that will kindle some hope in those dried out reserves.

"There is always hope, until you, yourself abandon it."

100 years, and we advanced alot because of the wars and competing to win the wars.
Lots of movies that glorify violence, songs that glorify violence/drugs, storeies can also have things like that.
No other goal include destroying the environment, causing extinction, and generally amking the place a mess.
Maybe people wouldnt be like this if we werent so exposed to violence, but since people are violent, we are always exposed, some desensitized. I hear more and more disturbing stories on the news, and you know why I stop caring, because if I cared about everyone I would probobally be completely messed up inside, and depressed. Its adapting, growing thicker skin, I would rather be my desensitized self than constanly be depressed about all the [censored] up [censored] the world has to offer, and it's constantly finding more ways to desensitize me. Apathy is a natural reaction to the way the world is. As for motivation, like I said we have acceled most at killing eachother, and research that has stemmed off that. We cant change anything, human nature is violent, we become desensitized as a result, and allow violence to continue, its a cycle, and cant be broken.

With that line of thinking, everyone is guilty, and it's only a matter of timing. Kinda dangerous thinking there, doncha think? :whistle:

It's not what kind of bastard he's gonna turn into later.. I know what kind. :ahhh:

But there will always be innocence in the world, for however fleeting a moment of time it is per individual.. And that, is what we try to better ourselves for.
Believe you me, I have things to better. :)

Wasn't it Hitler who said you could get people to agree to anything as long as you justified it as being "for the children"?

This does make that phrase even more depressing. To think, we do unspeakable evils just for them to grow up long enough to do unspeakable evils themselves.

You dont' have to care about everything and everyone. That notion is truly ridiculous.

What's wrong with making a SMALL attempt at learning more about yourself. About your friends and family? About your neighborhood and country?

What's wrong about taking SMALL steps to make yourself better? To help make your family and friends better? To help your neighbors make your neighborhood better?

One small step. If everyone just took one small step forward, it would literally be one giant leap for mankind. (Extremely hackneyed. Shoot me, I don't care)

Now I know what your going to say, that is a Utopia, and that is impossible.

I agree that a Utopia is not possible. But taking small steps to better yourself is not Utopian! Taking small steps to better each other and your neighborhood is not Utopia!

It's sheer ignorance of everything it means to be human. Sheer complacency about everything else but yourself. Complete and total in action and laziness. I also know what your going to say to that. "We have always been that way!" This is wrong. In order to survive in the early days as Mankind, we had to work together. We have always had to work together to survive. It has only been in the last couple centuries that we have developed the technology to not have to rely on each other the way we used to. We have become completely chained by our Technology. This is wrong, but I also believe it is a conscious (or subconscious) decision to do so. Technology is our savior, and our jailer. I really mean that.

My community, well the guy that used to live next to me was apparently in the paper years ago for domestic abuse, then there is a guy who was jailed for pedophilia living across the street (some say innocent but not taking chances), what a nice community, then where I used to live I was like 8 and found a needle in my street. Then most others in my town go out every weekend with the purpose of getting drunk, a guy I kne w in school is pretty much a neo nazi, a few others are racist agains polish people. Tell me how do I make alll of those problems they have disappear ? Even with people disagreeing with them the racists still didnt back down. The pedo is apparently just being moved from place to place cause no one wants him, and I dont know what happened to the domestic guy I havent seen him in ages. I cant stop people drinking excessively on weekends, there is no way to better my community.
My mother sometimes asks neighbours in the winter if they want anything from town if it snows, but that changes nothing. People think its nice, but it dosent improve any problems. Some problems cant be removed, binge drinking, drug use, racism, domestic problems, etc will always be in society, we cant remove them no matter how hard we try.
As for working together, if you help someone they may thank you, but in order for it to work everyone needs to work together, but some take advantage and others dont work, so the system dosent work.
So how would you better society, thing is you cant, some problems cant be removed, try as hard as you want but they will always trouble society.

Perhaps it's best if we all take a deep breath, and relax.

No good comes from Mortal Kombat. :) Okay, Sheeva, and Sonja...
Anyhow, jokes aside. Let's not fight.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't agree with This isn't my name at all, but like a wise man said. "I may not agree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death, your right to say it."

So, let's not let our anger get the best of us.

I beleive communism wanted to better the human race, we all know how that turned out.

Well, if you want to get technical, that wasn't communism at all. :)
Communism is a weird thing. It can only be done in a perfect Utopian society. Interestingly enough, Civilization 2 had it right, no corruption at all in a communist society. :)
It's one of those things that cannot be done by current humanity.

Im not angry.
Communism is impossible, thats why it fails.
Oh and just remembered about kids and innocence, yeah that also fails after I remembered seeing a few days ago the Taliban showing off their 5 year old child soldier. Shame that kid can never have a normal, innocent life, and will probobally be a terrorist the rest of his life.

Communism is impossible. It goes against human nature, people will always try to better themselves. So there will always be corruption, also a docter wont work harder, and longer hours than a guy at KFC for the same wages, so people wont accept communism.
