Just when i think I'm out, they pull me back in!
Hello! That pic for LuShes is HOT. Grrrrrowrrrr...
Anyhow...back like scoliosis and here I go.
War, huh, what is it good for? Control, fear, destruction of those who do not agree with you.
Is that good? Well, that's a moral judgement. I mean, if you kill everyone with different morals then there's no one to say what you did is wrong...because to kill everyone with different morals you have to be morally okay with doing it in the first place. Wow! A catch 22 and a devil's advocate all in one paragraph.
I don't think killing human beings is a good thing. But then again, the world is over populated, right?
Disease, starvation, all this stuff sucks. But it's not affecting the US or Canada so it's not AS important as AIDs right?
People are self centered. One day I might run for president of the USA (Hell, they put Bush i office, why not me! See, and you thought only the intellectual elite could run a country)...my campaign will be simple. A 30 hour work week at 40 hour pay. I will win by 80%. Hell, even if my campaign was pro-removing-late-term-fetuses-and-using-them-as-bait-to-catch-baby-seals-for-brutal-clubbing I could still win by a cool 55%.
In a democracy, people make choices...choices to act or not to act...they do this for many reasons. And often times a minor precieved benefit will make not acting worth it. I know when I heard of the war I said to myself "well, that's retarded. But what can I do. Atleast oil prices will drop...I'll see if it fixes itself". Now, the other day I notice gas prices were still high. And I felt doubly screwed over by the American system. (Note: I -did- protest prior, but I'm infering from a conversation with a friend who did not.)
Find what grant the American people the most conveniance and you will find a way into office...OR...you go with plan B.
Plan B: "SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOUR POPULOUS"
This plans going well for the Bush Administration. See, not only has America pissed off the world, but we are not SEEING that we do it. And we see WHY someone would want to hit back. And our own pervse sense of morality/justice dictates that if people did to us what we did to them we would harm them ALOT. So Americans fear being harmed alot. And every drop of anti-american sentiment the average joe hears scares him...which usually manifests as outrage.
But I don't know...maybe Poland was right. "It's not important what the U.N. does. What matters is what the US does."
But heh, I'm hungry and rambling. Feel free to debase/slander/mock/or just insult my thoughts if you think it's needed. But will it make the world a better place, or me more willing to hear out your ideas? Do you care? If not, then I see a war between us (you and I) brewing... :wink:
