Yeah, that’s right, I’m a ranting!!!

When are people going to realize that it’s not about Democrats, Democratic Socialists, Blue Dog Democrats, Conservatives, Conservative Libertarians, Moderate Conservatives, Liberals, Libertarians, Moderate Liberals, Republicans, Socialists, Socialist Libertarians, Green Party people, Independents, Indifferent peoples, communists, anarchists, sun worshipers, etc., etc., etc…???

I will be the first to admit that I get caught up in the scheme of things when it comes to politics. But I have come to a point where I am absolutely tired of it! Especially when it comes to the topic of gun control. When on G-ds given earth is the bickering going to end? If people put as much time into helping their fellow man/woman as they do sitting behind a computer b!tching about everything, there would be progress on a scale never seen before! And again, I must reiterate, I’m just as guilty of it.

It’s a travesty to see innocent people get killed (especially children) when it comes to guns, but people need to really look at the bigger picture. We live in an imperfect world, and sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Innocent people are going to be killed. It’s just the way it is. People also need to realize that many lives will be saved because of guns. There is no miracle solution to all the problems going on in America, and people need to accept that. Is b!tching about it every moment of every day really going to make the difference? I understand that people have different views and opinions, it’s just the way we are, but are we really focusing on what we should be doing?

I find it comical to see some of these so called “intellectuals” here on ATS complain about their political foes. Some smart azz conservative will complain about a liberal’s point of view, and some smart azz liberal will do the same to the other. Both sides might have a good argument on a particular subject, but really, in the end, they both look like absolute retards! The blame game is pathetic! Almost sickening! If I didn’t know better, I would say we look more like a bunch of Neanderthals fighting over the left overs of a dead carcass the hyenas left behind, than people who are actually capable of doing anything that might have a positive impact on the world we live in!

Mankind needs a reality check! Any ideas? I’m thinking a good’ole EMP burst would do the trick! Though the death and carnage would be great, I think in the end, we would prevail as a species. I think maybe we’d start to see that there is a much bigger picture than the façade we are taught the moment we come out a crying and a kickin. They say that there is always something good to come from something bad. And EMP burst could certainly be one of them. Think of it. No more electricity. Sure, many will die, but it couldn’t be any worse than what we’re doing to ourselves now, or what WE would do to ourselves in the future.

Now I know there will be people who will tell me that if I don’t like this/that/or whatever, than I need to go elsewhere, and maybe become some kind of tree hugging super freak or what be, But hey, I’m here on ATS to rant. Don’t like it? Read something else!

/Rant Off

EMP wouldn't do enough, I'm hoping for a nice solar flare to whack us.

It's hard seeing others still in kindergarten mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. They do seem retarded to us, because they are. Retarded growth, arrested development, cognitive dissonance, and they are getting worse with all the toxins in the food, air, and water.

Like I said, we need a solar flare.

I have said for years now; the only fix for this mess is total societal collapse. Not something I really want as it would suck to be human for a couple of generations. It also might not solve a darn thing but instead simply repeat the cycle of humans needing to have power over other humans. Until we can figure out how to properly identify a sociopath and fix the broken gene we are doomed to repeat our mistakes.

I think it will be of our own demise. We just love to kill stuff! Even ourselves!

Solar flare sounds pretty inviting. I think if we abruptly got rid of the technology, people would have no choice but to interact with one another.

Imagine that..!

Turn off technology, huh?

Okay... you first.

I enjoy knowing as much as possible about the world around me. I only came on here a year ago. Before that I was MSM misled.

I Don't want to go back there. To me that is like reverting to horse and buggy days.

Filter on...

OK I guess I'd choose Alexander the Great over Atilla the Hun. Their biggest technology was probably the battering ram and they both used a scorched Earth policy to diminsh their foes. I'm not sure getting rid of technology would do as you say. people would be interacting with each other with swords instead of keyboards from thousands of miles away. Maybe we should count our blessimgs.

There isn't enough people taught the basics of survival to turn off the grid. It would be nice though, if there was a day or days throughout the year when everyone collectively unplugged voluntarily. Go outside, breathe the fresh air and have a BBQ with the neighbors.

I've faith in us. We will get there.

Peace,
