and YES we are ALL GODS an no i can't stop this war i never started it. and no one's going to come and kill me in my own home unless the person LIVES IN MY OWN COUNTRY.
the reason i sent 2 posts is because i didn't realize the first sent.
but guess what you can put me down all you want i never once cut up war vet's or the army. i cut up the government. and who they are an what they stand for. OBAMA went over there i'm sure someone coulda popped him at any second but THEY didn't the only reason people fight is BECAUSE of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
your just another puppet running there game for them. and i'm glad for you because i am sitting at home in my house all comfortable but not because your out fighting a war BECAUSE I CAN. I DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT OR BELIEVE IN A WAR. you choose to go to war and if you didn't have that choice just goes to show how much your government has control over you.

So what happens when you're bunged onto the train to be gassed at the camps? Are you just going to sit there and mope about how victimized you are? Suddenly your death seems less like extermination and more like euthanasia.
Have you ever read Mans Search for Meaning? This book was a turning point in my life. I was in a very personal hell. Everything which I espouse can be found in the concepts of Viktor Frankl...
Now... keep in mind, that he came up with the same ideas that I have WHILE HE WAS IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WAITING TO BE GASSED
You see, it's not about the outside... it's about how we react to the outside, internally.
It's about meaning... not about power. Now, if "fighting the power" brings you meaning, well then so be it. I spent the first 30 years of my life doing that... and it brought me nothing but more frustration and unhappiness and eventually meaninglessness void...
However, now I'm very very happy no matter what happens to me in life, even during physical pain I have happiness, even when oppressed, I have happiness, it is something that just cannot be removed. And although it's much more than logotherapy that has brought this happiness to me, the foundations of what I speak of can be found in Viktor Frankls accounts of his own life...
So don't act like there is this big bad concentration camp that can remove those things... nothing I tell you.... nothing can remove my responsibility for how I feel, unless of course I give it away and assume there is some sort of authority outside of myself... which there isn't.

I just want to smile. laugh run around. enjoy the weather, and love nature. sorry that was stripped from you. and you had to grow up and see things no one should see. but don't bring the rest of the world down just because you can't get back up. try smiling try loving. try not being so patriotic and say whoa k my government's gone to far. something wrong. cause guess what something is. all i'm trying to pass on is good vibes. and you almost had me i was really close to being at your level. but clearly i'm better. actually i'll go as far as saying. I AM BETTER THEN YOU. YOU DISGUST ME
THE END

I completely agree with what you say. Too many americans are too lazy, or are too comfy to want to do anything. They DO expect someone else to do the fighting for them.
Its all a matter of how bad things get. As I noted in an earlier quote, a British general (I forget his name) once said something to the effect that the entire "civilized" world is only two missed meals away from raw anarchy. Suppose you started actually missing meals. You get hungry enough, and you will smash a grocery store window and grab what you can. Is this "revolution"? Is it "anarchy?" Is it "standing up for your rights?" The question is open to various interpretations, but whatever you choose to call it, it is an act of violence and desperation.
The Amercian people are comfy n' cozy for now...but for how long? Once a critical mass loses their homes or jobs or sees their level of life deteriorate to a low enough level, you WILL see mass violence. This is just as true for Americans as for any other nationality.

The fact that he feels he's been "drug down" to your level is almost embarrassing, because if anything, he was ALREADY pretty damn low to begin with. I think he must have things a bit confused, as personally, you are more apt at expressing your ideas in a concise, and even polite manner. If anything, HE dragged you down to his level by flinging insults at you. He couldn't even take an HONEST suggestion/advise on his writing so that more people would be apt to reading his comments on "world peace" Now? Since he INSISTS on using a pathetic block of text, instead of expressing his ideas in an organized fashion I just skim them.

One thing I have always remembered being quoted, which I still believe to be true:
"The devil's greatest victory over the people, was to make them thing that he didn't exist."
I expanded on that thought by coming up with my own phrase as well:
"Another great victory of the devil, was to make people think he was God"
This of course, in relation to the many religious extremists that do end up taking things WAY out of hand, and let their tempers get the better of them.
Now am I going to have to add to that "Was to make Man believe he was God"?
Honestly, that is the very epitome of human arrogance and willful ignorance that I have ever seen. Funny anecdote, I used to have that sentiment, it usually creep up on you when you're in high school or college. Then once you WISE UP, and see the complete and utter flaw of said idea, you start humbling yourself more. Obviously this guy Omni has probably just "discovered" this sentiment fairly recently, but it will get knocked out of his head once he realizes how utterly ridiculous it is, to claim that something as flawed as human beings could ever be considered a LEGITIMATE deity.

1.) Then why share it, if not to troll?
2.) In other words, pot calling the kettle black.
I do not think he will see this, as I believe he is ignoring me lol
