Some trust fund prosecutor, got off-message at Yale thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole? Make a name for himself? Maybe get elected some two-bit congressman from nowhere, with the result that Russia or China can suddenly start having, at our expense, all the advantages we enjoy here? No, I tell you. No, sir! Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win.
yes gingerbe, thats the one i am talking about. isnt it funny that the lady di inquiery is still on, privately i think, but they are still making a fuss about it, while the hutton enquiery died in everyones minds just a couple of weeks after.
god created men acording to his image, and on top of that we got free will a greate blessing and curse ( very lao tse right ? ), therefore, he is aware of what we can and are doing, all good and bad. nowdays only what most consider primitive cultures are the last believers, because there is no single global citizen, who has not broken all of the 10 ( murder indirectly aswell ). so, i dont think he hates us, he cant, he wouldnt wast so much time in the human project to just give up so easily. but he sure as h.. is very dissapointed, just as any father who got stabbed in the back by his children.
so, thats good for the atheists, the rest of us will have to see how to make things up again, which is almost impossible since we ideolize another god now. i guess he will have to start over, like with the flood some milenia ago.
lets see what happens, till then whish you all good health, the rest comes by itselfe.
does anyone know anything about this man ? specialy US citizens that have been affected most by him ? does anybody even care ? conspiracy theories, as the word reveals are just theories, not saying they are wrong,but without proof its easy to ignore and forget. But are we not animals with good common sence, some scientist even say rational ??? so, i hope that one or the other reads about him, its probably a bit disturbing, but thats truth right ? as they say, the truth will set us free, but almost nobody finishes the sentence by saying it will hurt as hell at first. opinions ?
also, the fact that most answered the "why is that..." question similarly and correctly... goes to show that we as a species have a completely subjective view of what justice is, so the notion of a metaforical balance is totaly superfluous. hence, our definition of justice, being as flawedly and corrupt while also being so important and defineing to our culture as it is, must be one of many causes to make god slapp his knee and turn international law into the usefulest tool for the worlds greates black market to purchase supplies for the oldest war in history that started with rocks and is currently at a dark matter bomb stage at current times, namely the war against ourselfes. which is an obvious consequence when technology and greed completely surpases our sense of social responsability and brotherly love.
so, lets enjoy our fastfood, sitcoms and loveless boning while we can appreciate war on tv and not outside the kitchen windows.
agree to the conclusion, we dont. but in regard to not being destructive... how about our record in exterminating other species, i think you cant argue that. thereby distroying the food piramide, which has obvious consequences.
i ain arguing that mate, just complaining about people still thinking its an actual effort instead of realizing its one of the biggest international business deals that are done underground, and since its done under the table, the collateral damage is explained ridiculously or even worse completely ignored, like in mexico now
i would like to hope so, but watching how governments are reacting to the issue, it seems unlikely. what do you think about it ? or is it better to just ignore it ? maybe it is a natural process.... who knows ..
the war on drugs has been one of the big investment excuses and has had more involvment in international policy than even trade. but the truth still is that without the northern demand it would probably implode... If this is a known fact ? why is it becoming an ever greater problem ? border security and policies have been created and renewd constantly, governments give and take more every year, but the problem is growing more then ever. so, is the war on drugs an actual socio-political effort ? or just another attempt to scam entire nations ? do most of us even see the trafficing of narcotics as a serious problem ???
aimlessly ??? i think i am pretty specific. although i must agree, i gotta tune up my grammar, as i said, i am a third worlding beaner, so i dont know any better, sorry master
could you please be more specific ??? what dont you understand ??? the whole "the end is overdue" thing is probably a bit melodramatic, but the rest is pretty clear.... so, which part is not clear for you jvaski ?
if unicorns and papa smurf motivate anyone to become a better human, i would also believe in... whatever.
dont you agree ???
i see your picture where you are holding your son or nephew or whatever... if something can make a better place for him or her, would you not support that ?
one more thing before heading off to loose my present in alcohol and others...
i have to agree with the lady before.... god ,who could just be a much more advanced species (even if this sounds nutts, i understand people not believing in other life forms cause of fear of the unknown... but mathematically speaking, earth and even the solar system... the milky way,... is a grain of sand in the biggest beach you could imagine, you really think that in all these billions of galaxies that have trillions of planets, we are the only thinking specias ??? gimme a breake))did create the possibility of humane existence.
but religion and the notion of god was created by us (a blond blue eyed caucasian jesus ??? are you serious ??? according to history and science he was more like bin laden, yeah he was an arab, sorry to disapoint). why ? cause religion was the first form of politics ever created. what is politics ??? its organization, control, delegation. and i am not saying this as a commi or some like that, its obvious....
two heads are stronger then one, humans, like monkeys are social animals... maybe thats why psychos are seen as lone wolfes, they are an abnormality of our species.
but we are still way too weak to be completely independant... still gotta learn a lot to get there, so.... we DO need some kind of control, and religion which created the image of god is what we needed to survive and strive among all other species which, if we think of earth, we, as a species are pretty , very young... quizz... how old is the octopus ???
and, to step away from my rather negative point of view... if i could put all religion feeling into one statement about who or what god is.... it would be....
GOD IS LOVE, iknow...i know.... but i believe it.
love is customized, specific to each individual, many times irrational and coming from chaos, its still the feeling that makes us most powerfull. or what do you call it, to believe in something we cant proof or touch ???
the closest human example would be a mothers love.
but nowdays even love has been comercialized, exploited, sometimes frownd upon and even been called weakness...
its time to pay for all we have been given. condolences specially to my family members and the rest... but it is overdue, seriously.
bretty much all know what the 7 deadly sins are, right ??? now, can anybody say they have known or even heard of someone who has not done any ??? envy ? lust ? talking bout obesity winning against malnutrirtion (gula... spanish for overeating... taking more than needed, forgot that one.)
the reason, in my opinion, for the rise of atheists is that most of us have realized that according to old school bible, we are all condemed. everyone, except maybe still-bornes (original sin ??? could you actualy believe that god invented that silly original sin idea???) are condemed to hell, if you believe that. so... as the song goes... dont worry... be happy.
and with all due respect... scr...w you hipocrat believers that only call his name in times of crisis, but almost never give him credit for all the good.
it says in the bible, when we come to a point where god is no longer the main character (ben franklin is....) we will get soooo much closer to the end. You shall not worship other gods, idols. which we do.
in this day and age its comprehensive and even logical to lie to others, but when we reach the point of lyeing to ourselfes we selfdemonstarte how far we are from actual wisdom.
have you noticed that after thousands of years, we still solve our problems like cavemen ??? (violence).
in dnager of being seen as a treehugger, i gotta ask....
Where do you think most of our oxigen comes from ???
i know it sounds unrelated, but it is..... trust a third world country, wannabe immigrant (beener as you call it) other.
hope not to offend the big one, but, i have always thought of god, i mean jesus who was his mesenger, as an alien, one who lives for thousands of years.... i mean, thats the only way i could explain myselfe why jesus appears in most holy texts... baghabat ghita, indian.. coran... tora, old testament, and of course the bible.
but these religions are separated in some cases by thousands of years, so.... how does that happen ???
but if you think about it, it makes sense. jews believe in the eye for an eye (revenge, retaliation (9\11???)) so, this could be like darwin said, the survival of the fittest, selection.... some 2 or 3 thousand years after comes the other cheek and forgiveness, groups are formed, so.... lets support and help them grow... forgive, because that the way to learn.... and the latest one, budhism... respect for all living creatures and the environment... what crisis are we facing nowdays ??? so, its like he knew what was comming... but to teach a dog to purr is kinda heard i`ve been told.
i am sorry to be quoting a movie reference, but i just watched the box, by richard kelly, and there was one thing that came to my mind while thinking about this... it was something like...
advanced technology for every undeveloped species is the same as magic.
it teaches us that we are all guilty of blasphemy, cause we insist on believing ourselfes superior, which we are not... its actually funny that after moonwalks internet and fastfood we are still basically monkeys throwing feaces at each other... as i said before, lets not get angry, and accept that we are animals, or, only other option, lets do something about it, but, who the hell has time for that... i mean... are we really willing to miss desperate housewifes ??? i aint... love that show.

RE: Great movie quotes.
this is actualy arthur c clark`s third law, but appears in the movie "the box""Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
