You mean other than
Iraq
East Timor
Indonesia
the Balkans
China
North Korea
the Middle East
The United States
The UK
Darfur
Somalia


...


Oh, fuck it.  How about, other than every continent on the planet except Antartica (and we're gunning for you, too, you bitch!), then nothing.  Right.

but LMNO, it is all Natural,Ñ¢ for that to be happening

just sit back and watch

[LMNO]

Now now, don't go putting words into Laz's mouth.

[LHX]

alarm clocks and vague looming threats via telephone calls and letters in the mail and all other forms of media are the world's way of saying it loves you

[Laz]

i'm only in authority of what i have witnessed, i claim nothing more than that.

I thought this thread was naturally at an end, but something new occurs...

Oh, fuck it.  How about, other than every continent on the planet except Antartica (and we're gunning for you, too, you bitch!), then nothing.  Right.

Given that we are here at the end of 2006 years of "civilisation" something must be right with society/human nature for us to be here. what if this is all in balance, what if we are doing the right thing? certainly a peacful existence would be an extreme one like a warring one.

[LMNO]

So, are you saying you like the world the way it is?  You don't see a single thing wrong with it?


George W, is that YUO?

[LHX]

everything is right with a car before it hits a wall right?

i mean - it is moving the way its supposed to be

[AFK]

and then you crash into the outside wall of the prison...

I like that :0)

and then you crash into the outside wall of the prison...

Not much keen on that though.

So, are you saying you like the world the way it is?  You don't see a single thing wrong with it?

Not so far! just exploring the idea of a system in balance that has been running for a while, and maybe without changing.

I would say that there are only a few of us out here that would hold the opinion that the world is going to hell, and i am one of them. However i get bored every now and again and ask around for other ideas. One of them i have heard from a friend is that there have always been people like me who think like this and because change is ever present, what i knew as a kid aint the truth any more, so i hanker after what was once real.

For generations a small percentage of the population of the planet have been doing this and getting all worried about the future. Who knows perhaps we form some sort of control mechanism that governs our wilder/shallower peers? Fact is though, we are still here, and wars have always been fought, but we have not ever wiped ourselves out.

[LMNO]

Oh, so you're playing devil's advocate.  Ok.


Let's go along with that, then.  Let's say that global warfare and suffering are essential for the "balance" of the planet.  How do the suggestions in the OP affect that?

[Laz]

George W, is that YUO?

And if dubbya were here, there's a few things i'd like to tell that motherfucker!

[Laz]

Oh, so you're playing devil's advocate.  Ok.

I'm not playing a game, i'm just giving my opinion.

Whats the OP?

[LMNO]

OP = Original Post.


also,

I would say that there are only a few of us out here that would hold the opinion that the world is going to hell, and i am one of them. However i get bored every now and again and ask around for other ideas.

This is essentially a Devil's Advocate position.

Also also, it's all a fucking game.  Always.

[Laz]

Original Post, ah! :0)

Also also, it's all a fucking game.  Always.

true, okay then, the game i'm playing is not that of the devils advocate.

How does it fit with the OP?

well it fits with 'do as thou wilt...' but not much else. What are you trying to get from the OP?

[LMNO]

Devil's advocate = taking a position contrary to one's own to spark new ideas.

I would say that there are only a few of us out here that would hold the opinion that the world is going to hell, and i am one of them. However i get bored every now and again and ask around for other ideas.

and, you seem to be confusing the separate points in this thread. 

[in regards to your positin that perhaps the world is in balance as it is] Let's say that global warfare and suffering are essential for the "balance" of the planet.  How do the suggestions in the OP affect that?

And I'm not trying to "get" anything from the OP.  They were suggestions on how humans might peaceably co-exist.  you might want to address such things to LHX.
