Aye. Mankind is a pest. And the sooner the Earth is rid of it, the better. Trouble is, we just don't want to go.

At times I think the world-organism as a whole ("Gaea" so to speak) is trying to rid itself of mankind via floods, quakes diseases and what not.

No, I do not actualy believe this, it's a mere thought. Besides, we're already working on going extinct here. If not via a nuclear extravangaza, then surely through resistant virii and bacteria (thanks to the abuse of antibiotics).

sofjet... is that a hand conditioner?

usa is suppossed to be a stable country so the likely hood is suppossed to be null.

While I do believe humans are differnt from animals on this planet, I have become aware since i have been alive that there are way more simularities than differences. In fact I think there is only one difference and that is I believe, conscience of its existance with the ability of gaining knowledge through generations.

The funny thing about that is that is is highly possible that we just are not technically advanced enough to know other animals (other than dolphins, elephants and whales) are as advanced as we are.

Its hard to look out your window and say we can't be called animals to considering we come from the same planet and have similar traits.

Our ability to kill ourselfs is only shared by so many creatures on the planet. Maybe instead of being 'better' than other animals, maybe reconising that we are the human animal would help ourselves some.... ,maybe not

perspective, there are not any absolutes, beyond personal perspective really...

and to have a difinitive distinction of good or evil, you have to have an absolute to deal with it... the world and humanity, reasoning are to dynamic and too subjective for there to be anything close enough to an aboslute...

You turn on your light swtich, will the light come on, probably, but it might burn out or the power might be off or it might blow every breaker in the house.

all they way down to religion, there are not any absolutes, someone can take upon them self and Idea as being an absolute, but until it is proven without a doubt to be the only possible solution, outcome, meaning held by, then it can never be said there is anything near such a thing as an absolute...

Relitivity dicates that there will be an equal or great reaction to any action, I would take it a step further and apply the same modle to non-action also...

Energy in its purest form never disapates it only transforms...

if you are born you spend then reast of your life from your first breath, dying.

So if you live you will die, and from the looks of it you will spend a life time paying taxes

I dun no...

good - evil, positive - negative... perception

IPlural is brain dead tonight, sorry about rambling....
gonna lurk...

joetheblow, You have got the physics of colours all wrong. It is the other way round. If you rotate all the colours fast, they will appear as a white blur... I think this might be Nature's way of telling us that all of us are essentially the same, we come of the same Being, irrespective of our caste, creed, colour or religion...

Energy remains constant.. that's true IP+ but entropy, the very essence of energy is always on the increase. Whatever we do, whatever actions we perform, lead to an irreversible increase in entropy. Maybe, that is like Life itself. Our actions are constant, remain constant and dissipate in different forms. But as they are irreversible, their 'entropy', i.e. their 'Karma': good or bad, keeps on increasing and accumulating.

I think 'Good' and 'Evil' must be judged not by actions alone, but their consequences, their reactions, the response they elicit.

Yeeeeesh! Good and Evil? The oppisites on the same coin? Yin Yang? Moderation and Abuse? Karma (what goes around comes around)? Man and Woman? Can't have one without the other. Ye, though I walk through the valley of the message board...

Good/evil, right or wrong. Where you were born. What religion or no religion. Upbringing, social status, etc etc. All this does have some bearing on your beliefs. No black or white, right or wrong, yes or no, just a lot of grey. Leading all 87 of these answers left me with a question. Why does everyone have a problem with people ripping them off or wanting there serial number to the software? Could be where that person was born or his religion or upbringing, there's nothing wrong with this. It's not evil, bad or wrong. Who am I to force my way onto someone else. Do I believe in stealing, no. Is it black or white, yes, no grey. Most of this thread doesn't make for good reading. To much BS or wishy washy.

I hope no one else has to see such a thing.

I barely made it out alive!

hehe and never mind me is a slow reader and seen the end of your post and you see it the same way it seems? but since I have no edit button on this site my post is stuck there!

Doreen, yes there is grey area. Its that place where we justify what we did was right. Like abortion. Is it right or wrong. Did we kill someone or didn't we. Grey area. Can we justify it or not in our mind.

okay well I really hate speaking about this in public but oh well I'm feeling brave today! hehe

God is not Audible when he speaks. you do not "hear" him Audibly but you feel his presence and his words are spoken in a way undescribable by a human. but if you listen you can hear him (yeah that don't make sense but I never do) hehe!

I do believe we have (1) Heavenly Father though we are mixed up on what to call him...

hehe wise guy! well he's been called worser things...

anyways me stays out of this thread now I don't know why I worry about posting that, everyone thinks I'm crazy anyways... hehe
