And I'm not going to give any examples either.

While I'm with you on that, in spirit. I ask, what can we do? I mean, you could pour gasoline all over yourself and light yourself on fire in the middle of a crowded square.. that sure makes a statement. But then you're just a crispy fried critter.
I'm more of one for demanding our human rights back from the powers that be that stole them from us in the first place. But I tried that before and half the people I thought were with me didn't want to give up their quality of life or get into trouble, and the other half thought it was just fine as it was anyway and we have it better than most people. So I sent an angry letter to the president and my senators but I guess I was the only one because they sent feds to my door to threaten me and tell me to chill out.

it's cool. i'm working my way out.
i graduate in july or august, will have some money saved back + find a job for the next 6-9 months to earn a little more, then when spring comes around, i'll be hitting up a farm for the season. sucks, but this is/was the best plan. i should be able to make enough money in the 9 months with my degree that i can do a few seasons of farming, with possibly looking for a job during the winter
gotta start somewhere, man

That's a cop out if I've ever heard one.
Human nature is love and light. We've been led to believe differently, by our "masters".
And George Carlin, as much I love him.. is the epitome of cynical.
The "average person" is a direct result of our fucked up, backwards-ass "culture", that has been under the control of a small group of elites for the past several thousand years. People are stupid? Am I supposed to be surprised? A world with shit for education that is raised on carcinogenic chemicals, and whatever the TV tells them to think?
If you are trying to tell me it's "human nature" to stab each other in the back, rape each other and the planet, viciously fuck each other over always trying to gain the upper hand on the next guy, and murder for the fuck of it, you are the one that is sadly mistaken. That is conditioning. Not human nature.
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Our world is at a crossroads, and has been under control of a dark cabal for a long time. The "truth" of the matter is slowly beginning to surface, and all will be revealed in time. But we must live in the present. Now is the time. It is the only time. And RIGHT NOW.. there is an intense battle going on. On many levels. There are those who wish to maintain their chokehold and power over humanity by whatever means necessary.. using FEAR and INTIMIDATION as their main tactics, and those who demand they be dethroned and our rights as sovereign, peaceful beings restored. Make no mistake.
"Society" is just another word for the "organization" that controls this planet. Perhaps I should have used a different word. But I can assure you, the mass majority of real people do not wish for death and destruction. Those who do are seriously deluded.
We need to get our act together, and take responsibility for our actions. Life is about living, this planet supports our existence, and we share it. We are all people of Earth. We are all humans. Love is the nature of humans.
Or you can just buy into the lies and play god. Overpopulation is a real problem. 6+billion people on a planet that should only support about 500 million. So, you can either work with the planet.. help it heal, help support it, and take whatever comes naturally. Or you can join them, play god, and decrease the population through force.. by whatever means necessary. Just know that everyone reaps what they sow.
We are not fucked. Society as we know it, is fucked. Those who fuck themselves, are fucked. Humanity will evolve, and it will flourish.
NO ONE is above the Laws of the Universe.

You seem to be very dissillusioned. Have you not read any history? The history of humanity is not filled with stories of love and peace. Human nature is to stab each other in the back, rape each other, and the planet, viciously fuck each other over and murder for the fuck of it. Humanity's history is full of genocide, ignorance, and hate. Why do you think it is that humans organize governments? If human nature was all about respect and love they would be unnecessary. I'm all about having a positive outlook on things, and I think we can, and have improved the human condition drastically, especially in the last 200 years, but you're just being foolish.
Take 100 random people and stick them on an island. It's almost always gonna be Lord of the Flies.

History is written by the victors of war. Our history is far from complete.
Lord of the Flies? Apparently you haven't ever been stuck on an island..
I think people watch too much TV. Real life is different. I realize there is a lot of stories of war and death. Because that is what we focus on. No doubt a lot of our recent history is fucked up, and no doubt the 'powers that be' and have been.. have played a VERY LARGE role in all that. And no doubt many people have a very fucked up view. But.
If human nature is to senselessly maim and murder one another, why do we exist? We should have killed each other off long ago. If that's human nature, then I must not be human. Because you try to kill me and those I love, I will defend myself and protect our lives with every ounce of my being. Humanity does not thrive on murder. It thrives on love.

Is it really society's fault though? People are all just stuck in a cycle of becoming stuck in theirselves and too caught up in their lives.
If only there was a way to show them to not be so scared and serious about everything.

I cant wait until 2012 comes, and I can personally wipe that ridiculous smirk off your face. So much semen is going to emanate from my body when I can finally point out that it was all bullshit.

Come on people. Let's keep this civil. If you don't like the topic, there are plenty of other threads that you can post in without being trollish.

Do you believe in evolution?
If we came from animals and animals do rape then surely it is a part of human nature?
A part we are suppressing, to remove,but still a part.
I agree that life thrives on love though. Love is people coming together to aid procreation. Human beings cannot reproduce (or nurture) offspring successfully asexually.

Personally, I blame religion for a lot of shit thats gone wrong in the world. Having your own personal beliefs is one thing... the reality of todays situation is another.

I love society. It's come to the point where so many people are so dumb and worthless that I can easily take advantage of it. You can't beat being better than most people on Earth.

Human nature is love and light. We've been led to believe differently, by our "masters".
And George Carlin, as much I love him.. is the epitome of cynical.
The "average person" is a direct result of our fucked up, backwards-ass "culture", that has been under the control of a small group of elites for the past several thousand years. People are stupid? Am I supposed to be surprised? A world with shit for education that is raised on carcinogenic chemicals, and whatever the TV tells them to think?
If you are trying to tell me it's "human nature" to stab each other in the back, rape each other and the planet, viciously fuck each other over always trying to gain the upper hand on the next guy, and murder for the fuck of it, you are the one that is sadly mistaken. That is conditioning. Not human nature.
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Our world is at a crossroads, and has been under control of a dark cabal for a long time. The "truth" of the matter is slowly beginning to surface, and all will be revealed in time. But we must live in the present. Now is the time. It is the only time. And RIGHT NOW.. there is an intense battle going on. On many levels. There are those who wish to maintain their chokehold and power over humanity by whatever means necessary.. using FEAR and INTIMIDATION as their main tactics, and those who demand they be dethroned and our rights as sovereign, peaceful beings restored. Make no mistake.
"Society" is just another word for the "organization" that controls this planet. Perhaps I should have used a different word. But I can assure you, the mass majority of real people do not wish for death and destruction. Those who do are seriously deluded.
We need to get our act together, and take responsibility for our actions. Life is about living, this planet supports our existence, and we share it. We are all people of Earth. We are all humans. Love is the nature of humans.
Or you can just buy into the lies and play god. Overpopulation is a real problem. 6+billion people on a planet that should only support about 500 million. So, you can either work with the planet.. help it heal, help support it, and take whatever comes naturally. Or you can join them, play god, and decrease the population through force.. by whatever means necessary. Just know that everyone reaps what they sow.
We are not fucked. Society as we know it, is fucked. Those who fuck themselves, are fucked. Humanity will evolve, and it will flourish.
NO ONE is above the Laws of the Universe.
Unfortunately, I think you're wrong. If you look at our direct evolutionary predecessors, or the equivalent thereof, (apes), you see all the tendencies of a primal, selfish, greedy, and power hungry society. Monkeys actually go to war with each other, rape each other, and murder each other. Didn't you see the jungle episode of Planet Earth? And then you look at humans...and its the exact same thing. I'm sorry but I really do think it's in our nature to be this way.
I wish I could agree with you. But when I look around, I see a bunch of very smart animals. Yes we're highly evolved enough to overcome our nature on an individual basis. But as a species, all we want to do is fuck and pillage.
Of course that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve things. We should do the very best we can. I'm just not gonna lie to myself about what were dealing with here: smart hairless apes.

I also think it's important to remember that it's no accident that our society has become what it is. True movements of self awareness and peace are the exception rather than the rule. Our society is the direct result of our nature.
To paraphrase George Carlin again, if love were powerful enough to defeat hate, it would have already.

i would recomend a book called chimpanzee politics power and sex among apes. as you reed it think about how our society is structured.
i think if more people had the ability to look out side there own day to day life and question why they think the way they do and why other people think the way they do the world might be a better place.

all im sayin is humans (the ones fuckkin up anyway) really havent matured at all in the past thousands of years
yea shiney gizmos here sit on your ass there but our culture and was of thinkin set dumbass(including kids) up for these sort of things
im sure if you dosed a buncha evil dudes threw em into society and saw what happened im sure love would shit on any bad vibes any day of the week, otherwise they'd prolly jus go nuts and off themselves tryin to figure out why their sub concious is so fuckd/why theyre jus sittin round not changin shit in the pursuit of power
only you will know what to and not to learn, drugs taught me alotta shit bout growin up (real) quick, but rest assured it was hell (for my past self ) jus gettin along with it, even tho my version of hell would prolly seem like paradise to other people
no gain without sacrifice as they say
and thinking love doesnt defeat hate is jus plain stupid ignorance isnt strength
