I believe that humans will die out within 300 years.
How?
We'll do it ourselves.
Nature is not what will destroy us.
It will be by a nuclear explosion

The Following Laws Reflect Life in the Real World: Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time!

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Pen to paper, ink to page, the story writes itself throughout your life. Isn't it your own destiny to live your life? without influence from others, without the direction of any other than your own eternal compass leading you where your soul does wish to reach? The path defined only by the dreams of the self and no other. Little can stop the will of the driven few which lie slumbering beneath the surface. Those of us all whom gather when the world stands amiss, torn from it's ways by profit driven simpletons. With open eyes and souls ready to listen to the call of help shuttering from the depths of ones own core, to fix the mess we have made for ourselves. To reach for the dreams we all can feel burning within, those we know can be reached, and yet until now were thought to be just outside the bounds of possibility. Sustainable food sources, power without limits, free of waste, lacking all loss of efficiency, limitations once had on all forms of progress lifted. Unlimited possibilities arise from free-thought with no bias in mind. Imagine for just a moment that you could have all the energy you could use free of charge, a printer that could provide you with anything you could think of, out of any material known.. The mind runs wild if you let it from such a statement, yet it is not far-fetched in this day and age. We are at but the cusp, of this moment in time, when this all proves to be more than just possible but alas, is an option available now if we accept it. We must quit the things that have failed us, and move on, rather than sit idle whilst the world crumbles unnecessarily around us. Realize our mistakes and improve upon what we've learned along the way, thus far. It is never too late to admit you are wrong, only too early to submit; that you can't look for other options. There always is an answer yet to be found, elsewhere if not already within reach, it is upon you to know simply how to find the answers you seek. If the quest for answers becomes your mastery what could there ever be which you did not understand? Nothing could stand in our way nor would need to. An intuitive, clear-minded, well nourished populace could build currently next to unimaginable feats of engineering which could open the doors for endless way of life altering level expansions of human ingenuity. There would be new tech hitting the shelves daily at some point. The rate of change exponentially increasing as people everywhere solve the problems plaguing us all for as long as we've known. The truest bliss, could exist.

To Know the Game, and Play it, too

We don't really get to know each other very well on this site.

We are mostly a mystery to each other.

I thought that it might be nice for the group to have a better
picture of who I am, or was, and may lead to others being a
tad more forth coming with who they are, or were.

I spent the predominance of my working life as a mental health
practitioner and mentor.

My specialties were with youth and the reintroduction of criminal
offenders into mainstream society. Of course this involved a
tremendous amount of my time being spent in both the criminal
courts and the family court system.

I became very involved in education, interdiction, and even
liaising with gangs to prevent violence, escalation and expansion
in my area.

But this was not a one way transaction. I think that I got a lot
more out of it all than what I put in.

I learned something from each and every person that dealt with.
I always aimed for a common respect, but I received an uncommon
degree of respect. I was accepted on both sides of the law.

My wife used to tell me that I was becoming more like 'them' than
the normal person that I had started out as.

She was right. But I learned respect for others, without qualification,
and I learned patience and I learned compassion.

The whole experience made me a better person, and I smoothed the
waters for all around me.

In all, it was a good trade.



That's me, in a nut shell.

Now, let's hear from the rest of you in this looney bin. Shall we?

Complainers"

I can always tell when it's a full moon. The Trump supporters cannot accept blogs with opposing political views and they resort to slinging insults to the OP.
C'mon people, this isn't your personal site. We are guests here and have to abide by some simple rules for conducting ourselves.

Yahoo articles used to have a comments section and that's been eliminated because too many people with the mentality of a teenager in mom's basement ruined it for the others.

I recall another site that had similar outbreaks. Different folks, similar arguments. They are defunct now and it wouldn't surprise me if the moderators of CS lock more blogs.

Does The Mandela Effect Prove Parallel Universes?

Someone posted a missing dog sign on the back of a stop sign near a supermarket.
Hank the Frenchie and the reward is $5,000 cash.
He must be some really special animal for that kind of price.

Actually, I would think the dog was stolen and a reward like that would entice the thief to come forward to get that reward money... at which point the arraigned meeting would also have detectives nearby to capture the person(s) responsible for the theft of the dog.

Dog Gone... Five grand.

One thing that is refreshing to see is how the Polish authorities have organised the reception of thousands of refugees. How great that is compared to what is happening the other end of the railway lines. What an excellent example the Polish people have displayed to the world.
