Humans are screwed

  • Looking forward and not back (sounds so bloody puncy but I have to go with it, honestly)

    If we start from the 1600’s again, with it ideally the same, aren’t we only (likely) going to get back to where we are now again? If 1600’s culture could not prevent your implied downfall until today, what is to say that it won’t just happen again?

    We have grown since then. The problems are to be focused on as they are relevant to ‘now’. 1600’s had problems we don’t have today. We, today, have problems that the 1600’s never had. But we have to deal with ours, and that means dealing with them as we have the fortunate position of being able to move ‘forward’ in time, and not backwards. Reverting back to the old ways only enables us to proceed once again to 2006 lifestyle, and not 2406 lifestyle, until yet again another like you comes along with a seemingly bright idea. What a waste of time.

  • Humans are screwed

    Humans had so much potential but they based their decisions on "sinful" emotions like lust and greed and evolved all wrong. They could have made this place really frickin awesome, but look at how screwed up this world is. The stupid morons. The only way people can change is by only letting depthful thinking people have kids (might sound cruel, but to me it sounds right) and starting from the lifestyle of the 1600's or so. Then there would be a better world.

  • Amish Paradise

    Course what you say sounds cruel: it manages to be the worst parts of social Darwinism and puritanism. The thing is that people have thought this way some place or another ever since the Babylonians took Jerusalem. The last guy to think up any kind of solution, with science in mind rather than religion, was an Austrian painter manque with a little mustache like Charlie Chaplin. Either be Amish or be a fascist; it's a free country, but you can't be both.

    Weird Al Yankovic "Amish Paradise"

    As i walk throught the valley where i harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain. But that's just perfect for an Amish like me, you know I shun fancy things like electricity. At 4:30 in the mornin' i'm milking cows, Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool and I've been milking and plowing so long that even Ezekial thinks that my mind is gone. I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline, got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin, but if I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine, then tonight we're going to party like it's 1699.

    (Chorus) we've been spending most our lives living in an Amish Paradise, I churn butter once or twice, living in an Amish Paradise, It's hard work and sacrifice, living in an Amish Paradise, We sell quilts at discount price, living in an Amish Paradise.

    A local boy kicked me in the butt last week, i just smiled at him, and I turned the other cheek. I don't really care, in fact I wish him well, cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in Hell. I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it, an Amish with a 'tude, you know that's unheard of. I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat, and my homies agree i really look good in black, fool If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears, we haven't even payed the phone bill in 300 years, But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare, we're just technologically impaired.

    there's no phone, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury, like robonson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be,

    (chorus) we've been spending most our lives living in an Amish Paradise, we're just plain and simple guys, living in an Amish Paradise, there's no time for sin and vice, living in an Amish Paradise, We don't fight, we all play nice, living in an Amish Paradise

    Hitching up the buggy, churning lots of butter, raised a barn on Monday, soon i'll raise anutter think you're really rightious? think you're pure in heart? well i know i'm a million times as humble as thou art. I'm the pioust guy the little Amletts want to be like on my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife. so don't be vain, and don't be whiney, or else my brother might have to get medieval on your hiney.

    (chorus) we've been spending most our lives living in an Amish Paradise, We're all crazy Mennonites, living in an Amish Paradise, there's no cops or traffic lights, living in an Amish Paradise, But you'd probably think it bites, living in an Amish Paradise,

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, yech!

  • We suck!

    humans are screwed We just eat off each other, we are selfish we are destructive, we are confused about life, we use abuse, hurt and generally dont care even if we try to convice ourself we do and make an effort to prove that. We are always looking for acceptance and will change like the weather to do so we become so obessed with our own little lives that we dont take notice and realise that nothing is eternal and in a matter of years we shall be gone... rotting or ash with nothing to show for it which could last. we are not permeant we are not making a difference other to harm and we are not really needed Humans are screwed.. this is why im so glad im not one of them.

  • Where are we?

    Humans are very complicated to understand. In ways, we have developed so much over the years and become the most successful breed but in many ways, we are corrupt and selfish. It's in every person, every nature that we do so. It happens everywhere, yet we perceive it to be normal. Afterall, aren't we all humans?
