lol, actually you indeed do.
That was probably the coolest response I've ever gotten to one of my fun little rants. You're obviously a conscious individual (a rare thing, it often seems). And, more than that, your pruity of spirit and will seem perfectly intact Whatever your form of belief may be, you have the distinct ability to bypass the extraneous and see to the core of, for lack of a more descriptive term, spiritualism. I have to say that this little statement of yours is in perfect agreement with my perspective on life, regardless of what may seem like disagreements. If there were more people with the kind of pure, untainted spirit you show, well let's just say this war-like discussion (not to mention the wars! =P) wouldn't be going on. I've gotta get your opinion on this: What's with all the people who just say "hi" or "how ya doin?" when they pass, but if you actually say anything to them, they ignore you? I've taken to responding to standardized greatings with "Many happy standardized socially acceptable greeting words to you, Sir or Maam," which I'm sure solidifies my position in their minds as a mental patient. =D I can't quite help feeling like this "who's crazy?" argument the world participates in is a little lame since we're all such lovable whackos. =D there's more stuff mixed in with quotes down there. [View Quote] I didn't say there is no difference (and if I did, I didn't mean to)... I'm referring to a situation where each one plays a distinct role in a cycle which could be broken on either end. Sure, it might hurt civilizations at first to remove police, but the first step towards healing always stings, and it's easier than saying "just remove all the psychos," since it's often a repressive police state which incites violence in the first place. Prisons (um, sorry, "correctional facilities") don't reform people, they just make them bitter. People with severe psychological problems need help, not punishment. Shame on you, civilization! Revenge is just as bad as the crime. I believe the only fair system is to return people to interaction on a one-on-one basis, where no system of power rules over the masses. Granted, this will instill chaos at first, but not making this change will eventually lead humanity down a path it... well... doesn't want to go down (I'd say they're already well on their way...) Either way, they'll eventually learn this lesson, I just always hope it won't take the drastic measures that prophets have been warning us about since biblical times and long before.... That is so very true... the concepts behind all of the world's religions are all inherently good, it's people who use them as an excuse to further their own agendas who are the real issue. However, these are usually the people in power, it seems.. =P > sense I think a lot of people are filled with excess hate just waiting to explode on anyone who says something they don't entirely agree with. It's too bad we can't all realize that just because people disagree on some logistical semantics doesn't make them mortal enemies. surroundings know. that This is my favorite part ^^^^ > only far > will |
