both words describe humanity perfectly, and we can never escape from that, thats what took us to the top of the food chain, its whats gonna end our species and more power to it i say
So we shouldn't aspire to continually improve upon our nature and become better people? Wow. That's... kinda lazy in my opinion. It's like, why fight it? Just give in! It's much easier! Well, if that works for you, go ahead. No one's going to stop you. I will be sure to keep my children away from you, but you go ahead. I, on the other hand, would not be able to live with myself if I just said "fuck it" and decided to take up barbarianism. Also, I disagree that being "barbaric" took us to the top of the food chain. It was the quest for knowledge (meaning the kind of brain that we had evolved that continued to learn, rather than simply settling into a pattern like most animals) and the will to survive that gave us the edge in keeping things from eating us, not brute strength. If a tiger wanted to eat us, and it jumped on us, we would be dead. That is until we created spears to defend ourselves, which I hardly would consider barbaric.
that's not the right question. the question is 'what scientology has done to society' and the answer is that scientology is a cult based on a science fiction story that is attacking psychiatry and is violating privacy rights of people who argue against them and just for that its enough for me to support Anonymous all the way, may their internet protesting be childish or not. are you gonna argue against anonymous for being intolerant? they all the rights to do what they do, just open your eyes plz. anyone who says the internet is a joke is a joke themselves. the internet is the best communication tool invented since the book.
I would support them more if they had a little discretion, but they seem to harass everyone. I hear about all the good they do getting rid of pedophiles and trying to war against Scientology and then there's the assholes that hear someone say something they don't agree with and all of a sudden they're wishing a spontaneous abortion on them. I've seen it. It's bullshit. It's not a way of life, guys. It's a tool. Use it. Don't become it. It's quite scary. It's why I don't believe in vigilante justice. Someone will get power-hungry eventually and then we will have another mafia, just like Scientology has become. There are no caped-crusaders in the real world...
Anonymous in your HippittyHop, moar likely than you think. http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/forumdisplay.php?f=582 Thanks for the great welcome!!! :cheers2:
Much as I agree, I think the world benefits from having a few immature assholes with no apparent allegiances. If it weren't for cynics and trickster types, America would be incredibly boring and incredibly polarised. The thing about Anonymous is, they don't care who supports them. Yes they're childish, but so are most people when they realise that they inhabit a consequence-free environment and two of them realise they have a slightly bigger stick than everyone else. They're not an organisation, they have no remit, and I think that worries people a lot more than it should, when you consider that groups like the KKK are tolerated throughout the US pretty much solely because they are organised and do have a clear remit. It's like order, any order at all, is preferable to chaos.
there is a bit of discussion about hipforums that is growing, unfortunately. slowly, but still growing
i cant say i agree with the entire post so i edited the quote to comment on what i do. if anything the hippie movement only ended up fueling the machine. they had an impact, but it only resulted in the government becoming better at doing what they do, which is unfortunate. also, if you did not grow up during the hippie/civil rights movement of th 60's, you are NOT a hippie. period. if you claim to be, you're just one of those people that try to form a personality based on something you think is cool (more than nought, a fad) because you lack the ability to think for yourself. it reminds me of the 14 year old girls that you see in the mall wearing pink floyd t-shirts without any knowledge of the band or their music. or the boys that run around wearing girls clothing, they have a term for this but i forgot what it was.
People idolize anonymous without really knowing what they are. Have you been to 4chan lately? It's devolved (yet again) into child porn and "newfags can't {insert lame geeky thing}". Anonymous have officially fucked everything up by staging real life protests, that's not how it's meant to work. They've turned into another peaceful protest group and because of that they'll change nothing. Originally though ,they had the right idea about dealing with things. Puts the whole "peaceful protest makes a difference" thing in perspective.
Teaches business leaders not to change their acculturated patterns of decision making for the bottom line. Now I am sitting on value neutral ground. I say: so what? My name is Chris Krajewski. One must change the election results, in Afghanistan??
