[QUOTE=levi.lydat]This is a stunning realization indeed.
A hard truth to swallow(lol) indeed.
But cute?
My good sir killer whales kill your whales.

I was about to suggest that they are a cannibalistic breed of doom.
[QUOTE=woodenbandman]They should teach you that you should always wear a condom no matter what.
Yes, even if you're trying to have children.
That way, only the people who try really hard and are really deserving will ever have kids ever.
They shouldn't teach Religious Education per se, but rather Cultural Education, focusing on the entire culture rather than just the religious aspects (sometimes the culture is more important).
And they should also probably teach about modern politics INSTEAD of pointless history. Seriously, history for years 3-6, then start grooming the kids to be able to make informed decisions at the polls.[/QUOTE]
So we can all forgot about Stalin's Atheist regime of doom?
Religion and culture go hand in hand; even non-theism is a religion, with it's own loopy dogma.
[QUOTE=Jiggzy.UK]That just isn't fair. The fact is, the people asking us to vote are not giving our children the Information needed to vote.
I just think there is somthing dishonest about that.[/QUOTE]
Fair? Fair? Life isn't fair; it's about doom!! (had to throw it in there somehow)
The information given out is usually only inconvenient to the incumbent, so pack your bags and go home.
No.
What I mean is that everyone in politics is motivated by self-interest. Altruism is a dead sport. As it should be. It's good as an ideal, but put in practice, people run you down and you're left with nothing.
That doesn't mean you have to be a dick. No, no. Quite the opposite. Be everyone's friend, make nice with all people. Once you're closer, it's easier to understand their motives and patterns.
One of the things that I like about politicians is there consistency. They are always working an angle to better their situation. Nothing wrong with that, just depends if the means justify the end result.
Look at the bills the support. Brady Bill. The mofo wouldn't be looking into gun control if he wasn't paralyzed by one, would he? I'm not saying that taking Reagan's bullet was his fault, but it just goes to show motivation at the advent of cause.
I'm not condemning the use politics for personal gains. That should be actually emphasized as a reason for entry the field.
What is it with people thinking that politicians have some sort altruistic obligation to the public?
They shouldn't lie, extort, embezzle funds, or do sort of reprehensible act to get into office or while they are in it. That's not what I'm pushing here.
They should try their damnedest to uphold the ideals that are/were proposing. That's what we can hope for.
This petty infighting leads to real politicians making the decision for you. Those who are Machiavellian in design. I'm definitely siding with those fuckers, since I know they only have their best interests in mind.
Dualities have always been an effective tool for separating the general populace's opinion. Think about the polarities that you find in religious institutions and governments. It's all about pitting one dog against the other, so that they don't bite you.
I'm not saying that competition, a differing ideology, or strife is bad (they are a necessity to our advancement), but look at who you are fighting and why. There's usually more than 2 sides to any single issue.
There never was an American Dream.
The castes of past monarchies are still in place, just under different labels and a larger median caste.
9/11 is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't matter if it was some massive black-op (by the US) or otherwise, the Bush dynasty got what it wanted. More power. That's always the bottom line. Don't forget it.
Some of most atrocious things that the worlds G8+4 countries does are hiding in plain sight. Globalization, corporate corruption, abuse of power (in both the military and law enforcement), and the creation of surplus populations. Wage slaves.
Not that it matters either. This is the price to pay for a higher rate of expediency (in terms of goods and services) and adjusting to a growing population.
It's cynical, I know, but I consider it a more neutral viewpoint than any political party is willing to concede. There is more to the world than a linear political duality, and just the same, there is even less (when it comes to surviving and maintaining stability). You just have to convince people that your way is better, for your sake.
