I'm curious. Now I already realize that you're a sucker for propaganda
but do you honestly believe that something beneficial can come from acts
of violence. When someone is making you feel threatened for some reason
is it better to hit them in the face and hope that they will stop
threatening you after that or is it better to approach the person and
ask them nicely and openly what the disagreement is based on and why
they feel the need to threaten you. Do we learn faster from honest
appraisal of our situation or do we learn faster by perpetuating
mindless acts of hate and separatism.
 
We live in a very delicately balanced biosystem and it is fucking
amazing that the balance that allows us to stay alive has remained
balanced for so long. If we care about the survival of our or any
species on this planet we need to learn everything we can about how the
ecosystems work and how we can do our part to maintain symbiosis with
the Earth. Some how I don't think mindless and petty things like some
ego-tripper coke head assholes, which get off by seeking the illusion of
control, starting a war is going to make the world any more pleasant and
livable for peaceful sentient beings, do you?
I think it will be fucking amazing if the Earth can continue supporting
life for 50 more years at the rate that mindless consumer culture
pollutes and destroys the balance even without the added chaos and
destruction of war.
If we don't evolve a huge amount as a species almost immediately then it
won't matter what any of us think about super chimp or any other
political idiot because there will be no chance for any of us to
survive.
 
Did you know that almost a quarter million acres of forest are cut down
a day?
 
Rainforest destruction is currently estimated at 78 million acres per
year - an area larger than Poland. That translates to about 214,000
acres per day or an area larger than New York City. Learning to respect
the value of these vital forest resources is an important life lesson
for future generations.

Do you honestly believe that we should focus on building bombs and guns
and pay people to learn how to use these guns when we don't even know
how to operate the planet we live on?
Which do you think is truly more pressing as far as long term human
survival is concerned?
 
Which do you think requires more talent and skill and thought?
 (Since you seem like the macho type)
 
1. Killing living things
 
2. Creating and maintaining life
 
If you were in a space shuttle orbiting Earth and you got in a
disagreement with another passenger would you plant explosives in their
room hoping that it would solve the problem while simultaneously risking
damaging the spaceship beyond its ability to support life?
Do you think it would help?
 
 
I am just curious
