    Well, that wouldn't be wrong, considering we ? up. When you build a model, but you built it wrong according to the instructions, you have to take it apart to re-assemble it correctly, right? I'm not saying living like bush men or cave men is how we should always live, but we gotta start over, and that would be a start. With our technological capabilities and intellect, the world could literally be a utopia. But the wrong people are in charge, and it's literally destroying the planet we depend on to remain in existence. We need to stop this by any means necessary, before it's too late.... and if that means going back to living off the land, then so be it.

    Sarcasm... cute. You know, it all depends on who exactly they're planning on whipping out. People of evil intent, or people of potentially good intent? If they wipe out good in this world, then consider the human race extinct. I really don't care about my own life... I value it, but if I end up being taken out, out of necessity for the benefit of all that is good for humanity... then I'm ready... We all gonna die in the end so if it's my destiny, why am I going to fear it?

    I honestly don't think evil is going to win... evil is anti-nature, and nature always wins.

    I'd go to, be damned if I'm fighting to live with people who thought it was okay to wipe out the majority of the population.

    Exterminating is such a harsh word. I would call it inducing heaven.
    All the great leaders have try to do this. From Moses to ? to street gang leaders.


    lmao, good luck with maintaining this capitalistic society with no more slaves. lol

    One of the disturbing things I find is the nagging about reduce, reuse and recycle. Always trying to get people to cut down on the amount of garbage they put out, yet all the while contriving new ways to sell useless ? to people. "Stop throwing so much ? away, hey buy our useless ? !!!"

    Yup. You meant in a romanticizing way you would rather die in this type of world. But in reality you won't.

    Capitalism is anti-slavery.
    Your thinking of socialism, communism and share-ism.



    Again, you're delusional. Capitalism can propagate to you all day that it believes in freedom, but in the end, it's only selling you an idea... to help convince you to support it's evil ass. Capitalism needs slaves.... even if it has convinced it's slaves that they are free.

    EVERY MAN SHOULD BE BROKEN DOWN TO HIS LOWEST POINT... AND RIGHT BEFORE HE THINKS THAT THERE IS NO HOPE... ? (or someone appointed by ? ),

    SHOULD HELP THEM BACK ON TO THEIR FEET... LETTIN THEM REALIZE THAT EVERY ONE NEEDS HELP AND THEY 2 SHOULD HELP OTHERS IN NEED....

    Won't work. People will just depend on the helper everytime things get hard. And if the helper doesn't help they'll just sit there. Capitalism points this out with homeless and the poor. They just sit there saying help help Obama help.



    Homeless people aren't saying anything like that.... Hollywood and the media portrays homeless people as lazy drunks, and that's not the case....

    Most haven't sold their souls, even at the cost of being a straight up outkast without a home. I admire and look up to people like them. They're some of the strongest people you'll ever meet.

    It different too because they don't have this "personality" to uphold or something. Like there is no subtle ego competition going on. There is no illusions to them, the ones I've encountered anyway.

    Edit: It's weird because part of me has pity on them and part of me is kind of envious of them. To just say ? it, and have nothing.

    I don't see them as having nothing. I see them as having more than anyone who is living in hollywood hills driving a lambo.

    Anyone every see that show on oprah where she had this guy on there that gave this homeless man money and a job and every opportunity imaginable to better his life and after about a year the homeless guy gave up. He said it was to much work. He didn't like working. He didn't like paying bills. He didn't like responsibility.
    I'm sure there's a vid on YouTube.

    It's easier to just exist. hmmm sounds like a chinese proverb or something.

    Those that are homeless and they feel they don't deserve to be don't stay homeless long.
    Some people got the whole homeless life down to a science. I've done a lot of community service once upon a time and talk with a lot of homeless people. BA's right, some got a weird and interesting view point of the world but there's always an underlining fact(s) on how they ended up in their position.

    Yea, that's the best place to look for a good example of a homeless guy.... television. :|
