Im sorry. But no.
Cat's have personalities and people are friends with their animals for the most part. Not a useless act to the owner of that cat. Perhaps useless to you. Not everyone is a cat person.
Even still, one can stop the sex trade if one devoted resources to stopping it. Instead we wage illegal wars all over the middle east, and sell our souls to psychopathic elite bankers. As for transhumanism, that i assume will be an eventual possibility, but there are far more powerful things than technology, we have no idea what happens in the universe around us. I think i'd like to take my chances and see what humans can really do. If you infuse yourself with machine then you lose the ability to ascend into higher dimensions. I assume moving dimensions and having access to all information ever is much cooler than what our primitive species can cook up to enhance ourselves.edit on 21/6/12 by AzureSky because: (no reason given)

I wouldn't say it was sad, maybe moving. Something you might see in a movie.
Regardless, when we are young we believe the entire world is like these pictures then we come to realize it's for the majority, the complete opposite.
However, reading all the entries brought back some nostalgia to a naive youth, and maybe even a tear or two.
Worthy thread.

Not one to go all soft hearted, but sometimes a simple act of humour or kindness goes a long way.

That reminds me of the occasional story here and there of a cease-fire called for Christmas.
I believe you are referring to this below, i never read this before and thankyou for jogging my memory! Here is another feel good event people!

Christmas truce was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires that took place along the Western Front around Christmas 1914, during the World War I. Through the week leading up to Christmas, parties of German and British soldiers began to exchange seasonal greetings and songs between their trenches; on occasion, the tension was reduced to the point that individuals would walk across to talk to their opposite numbers bearing gifts. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, many soldiers from both sides – as well as, to a lesser degree, from French units – independently ventured into "no man's land", where they mingled, exchanging food and souvenirs. As well as joint burial ceremonies, several meetings ended in carol-singing. Troops from both sides were also friendly enough to play games of football with one another.
Just more proof that the ones calling the shots and the ones actually firing the shots are different people. I wish they taught this in history class when i was in highschool.
