Imagine that...

Depends on the mass...

Only eight more year's, to be sure...

It is broke, it always has been; at least since the stone age. 😉 The more people involved in the decision, the greater the chance that fear is the motivater...

I didn't say you did; my point is something's in life have to be experienced before one understands. Being nice and fair to our fellow man shouldn't need a manual; but just incase one is needed, every culture has had a stab.

Don't be fooled into thinking your way is the only way, age is no guarantee of wisdom...

"Stand ye calm and resolute, Like a forest close and mute, With folded arms and looks which are Weapons of unvanquished war. And if then the tyrants dare, Let them ride among you there; Slash, and stab, and maim and hew; What they like, that let them do. With folded arms and steady eyes, And little fear, and less surprise, Look upon them as they slay, Till their rage has died away: Then they will return with shame, To the place from which they came, And the blood thus shed will speak In hot blushes on their cheek: Rise, like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number! Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you: Ye are many—they are few!" - P B Shelley Or, "the meek shall inherit the earth" - Anon

We're going to have to be a lot smarter than that.

You're missing the point of your own thread, it's not about whether or not our shelter's can survive regional disasters, it's about our food security. There's no point in being warm and cosy in the face of a hurricane, blizzard or fire if one starves after the fact. Regional disaster's will have global effects, if the crops aren't protected.

Who here knows what scrogging means? To me, my family and my childhood contemporary's, it's the word we used for "scrumping"

Until we perfect smell-o-vision, I fear we'll never understand those alien's. We can't even understand our previous incarnation's, without a key (Rosetta stone) in the appendix and how many of our contempory author's include a key?

But the point of a universal language is to comunicate. But since even frogs can have a regional accent, I think the chances are pretty doubtful. True communication is only really understood/possible among our regional contemporary's. The further we get from 0,0,0,0 the further we get from understanding/possibility. The best we can hope for is, we get the gist at any given distance.

If the answer is 42, what is the question? I wrestle with this everyday...

Oh, burn... 🙄

Indeed, we're more than capable of punishing ourselves; it's ironic that you chose here to preach, no-one here believes in God's (well, almost no-one), and the irony is inflated by your insistence that your message is the only one that counts. People find happiness in all sorts of unusual place's, would you deny them that contentment? Just because you're righteously indignant about your lack of a smile.

Yeah, no... there's nothing ironic about starving...

Meh 😒

Heaven is a smile when all you want, is to frown. If you're starving, heaven is a stale bagel found on the floor. What Hinduism is saying is, what goes around comes around; if you act like a worm/toad/etc you are a worm/toad/etc. If you think charity is foolish, I have to hope you will need some - it's the only way you'll learn the folly of your thinking. 😉 When a criminal escapes justice, they spend their day's in the hell of being caught.

Is that your, objective view? Yeah, he tried to ban people from throwing stone's... 😇

Indeed, you're just not making a very good case...

She/he died, but forever lives in our memories; there's worst ways to go... Happy Saturnalia, hanukkah, etc... 😀

You could try Britain, but since brexit you've got fook all chance of that...

What's the point of this contradiction? If you can't find heaven now, you're in the hell of tomorrow; neither god nor religion taught me that. Maybe, maybe not; I think a more pertinent statement is, careful you don't exchange a wish, for a smile now. Or is it the other way round??? 😣

It's a ying/yang type of thing, if the balance isn't right; the yang is a phuqin loonatic... ☠️
