Watch this first if your high, it's a southpark episode that will let you understand why I feel this way! Pinewood derby!

Pinewood Derby: ALLSP - Your Source for South Park.

The world has gone to shit I guess. It's a tough one to embrace but look how it's gone seriously guys - we discovered the universe but still act like we are the only planet out there.

It's honestly such a joke how our society is now - it's all about money. Think about it, the concept that bankers created a system that allows governments to have DEBT is so retarded. Banks make money off of COUNTRIES guys, wake up and realise what's going on. Poor countries actually exist and it's disgraceful that it's like "OH WE NEED MONEY, WE CAN'T DO IT OTHERWISE" see the bigger problem here guys. Money has fucked everything up.

The way politics is now on a global scale is fucked to the core. It's like a school playground and the toughest looking guys with the most nukes get to bully around everyone else - it just seems like high school all over again. Everyone picks sides or just has nothing to do with the situation, it is no longer about what is right or wrong. War crimes go on unnoticed and disgraceful acts go on while all the other nations stand around looking awkwardly at their feet. Let's not forget about all the blatant political and big business motivated infuence as well - Goldman and Sachs gave themselves a few billion dollar loan to invest in shit and turn a quick profit on with the US treasury.

It's fucking laughable how broke we all are, like seriously TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF DEBT. The government is chained to those banks it owes money to and that means that we are chained to the government's taxes etc. Look how much more expensive everything has became over the past 100 years! Inflation is just a fancy word for manipulation - letting them make things more expensive because otherwise big businesses would LOSE MONEY!!!111 The concept of loans that weren't actually backed up by real money is hilarious, I mean seriously guys it's like we have all just stopped thinking straight. If we don't have money for something, we shouldn't buy it - but instead everyone just kept taking out money they didn't have and eventually it caught up with us all.

We need to act in the interest of the world now and not allow bullshit to go on anymore between different nations. We are all one world and we should be acting in the interests of just that rather than some border than 100 years ago looked totally different. Such arrogant and aggressive "us vs them" mentality isn't the future. We all need to have a major attitude shift and see the truth.

All of our perceptions about what is acceptable is just social conditioning caused by years of just thinking that is how things are. Think about how much propaganda we get shown everyday to make us think that wars are necessary, or that we HAVE to bail out countries who are broke or that WE can't help the africans. We need to start sharing the good vibes on a UNIVERSAL LEVEL. Stop choosing to neglect children or people because they aren't your friends, they are fellow beings. Guys we need to have an attitude shift if we are going to get anywhere!

Also I find the concept of taking a pill to get rid of a headache hilarious "HEY GUYS YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PILL RATHER THAN FACE YOUR EMOTIONAL STRESS, SUPRESS IT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY :)"

Also we need to realise we aren't alone in the universe and that we are acting in a very primitive, self interested way. I bet aliens would hate to talk to the human race, because they still act in such a stupid and aggressive way. Hell china and russia will probably try and dominate the universe or something like that. America needs to get a grip and all the world leaders need to start acting in the good of the WORLD. STOP IGNORING THESE PROBLEMS RIGHT INFRONT OF US, WE ARE BEING DISTRACTED WITH FEAR AND TEMPORARY EMOTIONS. PROPAGANDA KEEPS THE FEAR OF THE PAST ALIVE, NOT ALLOWING US TO MOVE ON AND REALISE THAT THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS RIGHT INFRONT OF US.

We have allowed authority make us feel like we are powerless to do anything about such great unfair injustices. We do, we just need to realise it and act in everyones interests.

Intelligence doesn't mean your are not aggressive.

Look at the animal kingdom. The smartest animals are usually the predators.

And if aliens are ever to stumble upon Earth, odds are they will not be peaceful.

A good example is actually Hitler. Going into WW2 Nazi Germany was the most advanced country on the planet, and they were also the most aggressive.

And I agree money is fucking retarded. It holds no real value but yet we allow it to control is and put our world in turmoil.

Aliens probably know we are here already, it seems so improbable given the size of the universe and the space exploration etc that we've done. That would probably grab someone's attention right?

Are you saying that we cannot somehow transcend this admittedly animal like mentality? Realise we are all in this together and pull through for everyone rather than our own interests. We've just been brought up conditioned to think wars are necessary or okay. Hitler had serious issues, he just took them out on EVERYONE he saw fit. Bit of a bitch at the end of the day, his mother never loved him so he took it out on everyone else. Psychologically these dictators are all renowned for not being able to trust or love people, much work was done examining them in the years after their death. So at the end of the day is he really all that admirable for the human race?

Don't forget that before we had guns, lions and elephants WERE the enemy. We got bigger weapons and eventually managed to go up the food chain artificially with our nukes and rocket launchers. New weapons, new enemies - it just keeps scaling up. Eventually we will be put in place when we start to fuck with the universe. Everyone can win if we did it right.



One more thing - when we let banks lend more without currency backing it up, our civilisation developed waay too fast. As the stacks grew higher, the debt got bigger and the weapons started destroying entire countries rather than protecting their tribes. Hiroshima is a disgrace, american's should be ashamed of what happened and no wonder there is tension in the East.

I think the shift would be embracing the concepts of peace and love, and unity. We are all one, composed of the same matter that has been here forever. We are capable of great things, we just need redirection. I believe the bankers and New World Order that you refer to are the entire cause of this. People, for the most part, are good and have compassion for one another. However, we are taught racism and hate, and to be greedy, and that money, a virtually meaningless material, is to be worshiped.

We must unite as people, and overthrow the corrupt banker/political system that has programmed us to root for it for so long...

I'm guessing it's extremely unlikely any alien life knows about us, assuming there is alien life. We've only been putting out radio waves for like 200 or so years so unless they're very close by in our galaxy it's unlikely they've taken notice. You also have to remember that while we've "explored" the universe with our satellites and what not, we're seeing the galaxies and stars as they were millions/billions of years ago, not as they are today.

Sorry for the diversion, just wanted to comment on that. But otherwise you're right...the world is a very screwed up place.

People from different worlds (or aliens as narrow minded people see them) just seem like a natural extension of life in this universe to me. It's entirely subjective and I have no proof to back up what I say. But there is a whole lotta planets out there, it seems to silly to think that things like nukes would go unnoticed by superior beings. I genuinely think the human race is still distinctly primitive, until we learn to 1love we don't know anything about anything because we fail to see the bigger picture.

I'm sorry man but this will never happerned. there's going to be violence and hatred, it's natural. I believe in standing up for what you believe in.

You say in the beginning embrace peace and love.blah blah blah, and then talk about people being brought up with radical views. No way in hell I'm going to be peaceful and accepting in the company of a fucking racist of facist. :devious:

This keeps us away from the 1love our race really needs. If people were all raised with tolerance and compassion there would be no racists or fascists. We just need to band together and work for one greater good. Fuck countries, fuck race, fuck politics, and most importantly fuck greed. If it wasn't for greed our culture would move at least tenfold.

You say you divide by zero but you choose to dismiss things without your proof. It is easier to dismiss than be open minded - although I see the need for evidence to back up claims, it's just that when it is something I consider to be an inside job it starts to get difficult.

What is amazing to me is the vast majority of the stars that we see with the naked eye still exist, but some of the stars that we can see with strong telescopes have already died millions of years ago and the light from them is stll travelling.

Ignorance ....... Money is not evil. Money is the greatest leap forward in increasing living standards. Money eliminated the coincidence of wants and led to the division of labor. Money is a natural occurrence a necessary step in a better lifestyle. Without it life would suck. BUT money has been high jacked by the state and is counterfeit now. Learn how money was created before you say money is evil. Otherwise you look like a fool to those of us who do know.

Money is the ball and chain that has stopped us from evolving, losing the need to do things for ourselves because there was others who would get paid to do it for us. I'm not going to believe you just because you say your words with enough conviction. Spare me your "those of us who know" rhetoric because you seem fairly stuck in a state of narrow minded defence for a dying system that has raped our world and killed most of society's values.
