Do you think we will make the jump to a Type I civilization? Or destroy ourselves?

If you believe humans are a cancer that needs to be killed, then set a good example and start with yourself. Or are you a hypocrite? Are all humans a cancer except you?


You can not even look at this logically. Its all about you - - your emotions and fears.

How dare anyone expect you to be part of a plan to save the world.

How dare they! Those evil controllers.
Are you willing to set the example? Will you deal with the one cancer cell you can control?

Well let me see. I do have legal papers that say do not use any artificial means of life support or resusitate.

Best I can do right now. How about you?

I take that as a no then. You want all of the "other cancer cells" excised, but not you. Way to take a stand for your beliefs.

Really?

Where did I say that?

Why do I have to choose between either/or of your answers? I think yes, we will "destroy" ourselves and achieve a class-1 civilization.

When I say "destroy" ourselves, I'm talking knock the majority of the world into the stone-age. killing everyone off is not going to happen, I don't care what crazy scenario your trying to imagine. Mankind will survive and start the whole thing over, this time better and faster. Eventually we will get there with a few bumps along the way. Patience.

Have you already forgotten what you wrote?


We are talking about a world that is so infested with parasites (humans) - - like locusts devouring everything in their path - - it can not survive without drastic intervention.

OR - - like a Cancer that eats and destroys cells.

So - - what you are telling me is - - - you are a Cancer Cell - - and I am supposed to give you free agency to do whatever you want
Do you not remember posting this? Are you the only non-cancerous human? Is that your view?

As for not being willing to deal with the "cancer" that is you...

Well let me see. I do have legal papers that say do not use any artificial means of life support or resusitate.

Best I can do right now. How about you?
So, your cancerous self gets to live until you are naturally ready to die? Are you willing to be enslaved to a one world government for the duration of that life? I am not.

You are being ridiculous.

I provided a graphic analogy and perspective for clarity of what was being discussed.

I never said anything about being - - "excised".

Oh, so what was your "drastic action" that needed to be taken?

Personally i think we are starting to make choices now that determine our future. Look at the turmoil in the Middle East. There is open desire for democracy. Even in Syria serious protests are taking place in what has been up to now a very closed society. With the Middle East in turmoil the rest of the world can only hope and pray that no nukes are used. In the longer term i think the current situation in the Middle East are going to encourage manufactures seek alternative fuel sources such as wind, water and solar power. Already we are seeing the dawn of mass market hybrid cars with the electric car not far behind. So give or take a decade that intself will change things. WE MUST DISTANCE OURSELVES FROM OIL! We can no longer keep on using such an ecologically damaging resource. Once we make that step there will be less wars etc North Korea i do worry about but i think the Chinese has Kimmy back on his leash for now. I think it is entirely possible we will see as terrorist attack via a nuclear bomb But i do think we have moved on since the end of the Cold War.

As food prices rise.
As gas prices rise.
As cost of housing rises.
As medical costs rise.

. . . you can barely live from penny to penny.

But you don't think you are now being enslaved by capitalism and the corporate elite.

You might want to think about that.

I oppose corporate enslavement just as much as I oppose enslavement to any government.

Well good for you. Perhaps you can buy your own island someday.

But I live in the real world - - - and prefer a plan to reverse the effects human's have had on this planet. And KNOW it will have to be extreme.

We're a bunch of psychically blind people. Groping around in the dark, hoping that somebodies mind turns into a lightbulb, so that others can learn how to be lightbulbs too.

So, start with the person in the mirror if you truly believe.

You should think about what you eat, what you live in and what you use as transportation. Everything you use in your daily life supports everything you hate. As long as you spend money, you support the corporate state.

The very ID you represent is even owned by your government. You parents had to apply for it in order to give you it.

I think the main point we should consider is that it WILL either happen, or we'll die before it does. And in that respect we should all prepare for it and make a choice on how we feel it should happen.

I think that is the battle going on right now. Do we want a one world dictatorship? A muslim culture or a western culture? Would you prefer the western culture was in charge or the Arab culture? Or maybe Eastern culture?

Where do you stand? I dont think we have a choice whether or not it will happen, it will, it's obvious we are headed in that direction, but what kind of world do you want to live in?

I agree and am making preparations to go off the grid. I will be leaving my job in a few months and plan to adopt a non-traditional lifestyle. Unfortunately, somethings are unavoidable.

Unfortunate but true. I did not get an SSN until I was 17. Had I known what it really meant, I never would have gotten it.

Not enough people will do this to have any effect.

I'd say most people are oblivious to what's going on.

Its going to have to be done for them. That's just the reality of it. Like it or not.

Like always the pendulum swings.

Government will go extreme - - people will revolt.

It just has to go extreme enough to make a difference first.
