couldn't disagree more with the first paragraph alone. animals don't gang up and go off kill.. uhhuhhhhh

as to the second, don't really see what that's trying to say, gold, we like it, wow, we also like the mona lisa, and that's just paint, big wow! as to gold being so lust after, well maybe that's because it's no growing in evrey field and under every log. you can't make a monitery, value system, if anyone can go anywhere and pick up as much as they'd like. gold is hard to find, so you can aply value to it, and use it in a controlled manner, such as the wealth of a country, you can't just randomly add another tonne or two because why not. how would life work if all money was in fact apples, and you could simply grow as many as you wanted, inflation blah blah. the nature of gold, gives society structure and such, it's a controllable resource.

as to it being seen as a thing of massive beauty, well that';s just an opinion, magnified by it's lack of abundance, then drummed into everyones head by the man.

gold means nothing to me, it is only because of the monitary value that it holds that i'd be happy to find some etc, but if it were just a faceless comodity, then you're right, it's a shiny soft ageless metal that's not of much use. but that's not how it is.

i really enjoyed reading through that, but unfortunately i think this does come down to some acid thoughts!

i, like EVERYONE else, have no idea what we're doing here and have loads of thoughts going around my head. the way i choose to think of it is - if there is something to know, then we'll all find out once we've passed to the otherside.

If there is nothing to know and we are merely here through chemical coinsidence then it wont matter because when ur dead ur dead... u will have no consious thought of it. Thats y it bemuses me that ppl have to turn to religion to feel safe about dying... u wont be thinking 'i cant believe this'... u just wont be there anymore.

Interesting thoughts Bhudda, enjoyed reading your original post.

One thing that came to mind when reading it though...

"I beleive we were genetically modfied by aliens to mine gold"

Surely the aliens could come down to planet earth any day of the week and just mine the gold themselves....think about it, if they created us and gave us the technology to be able to mine the gold then surely they could whip up some ultra advanced mining machine and go to town on our asses...just cant see the superior alien race being 'too lazy' and creating us instead to mine it for them ?

Not putting ya down by the way mate, there's no definite right or wrong answer. Just giving my opinion on your opinion

I think that you have just smoked yourself stupid.

Monkeys as a matter of fact posses a very high gang mantallity.. and will fight over territory.. try watching natgeo fom time to time.. one monkey steps on the wrong side of the hill, and a gang of them will follow him until he is seperated from the group, beat him, drag him back to their group, where the rest will continue the beating, first stomping his chest in, then tearing out his throat and reproductive organs, after that they kinda just toss the body around until they grow board.. but yea.. humans are the sick ones right?

Take a break before you blow a fuse...


Here's what I think.. I think their was an explosion, some neutrons and protons came together to create matter, the matter slowly turned into a pebble.. skip ahead a few million years... we have a planet.. this planet is holding living orginisems.. skip ahead another few million years, those orginizems living in a very oxygen rich enviroment found light in the water, began to grow and become more than just some type of bacteria.. skip ahead skip a head... we crawl from water to land because the threat was far too great in the water.. not yet fully land animals, we had to move back and forth from water to land.. skip ahead a few million years, we develope lungs from our time on land.. but not yet fully human.. xkip a head some more.. we're almost like monkeys but with a some-what better thought process.. skip ahead we develope the opposable thumb... we start stringing thoughts together, learning what hard is, what soft is, what sharp is, what fire is...then we learned to teach those around us, and the more we learned the more our brains started to come alive... and hold complex thought... we banded together... started grasp of the concept of survival and territorey.. skip ahead a few billion years, and here we are...

Human life is just like walking.. it's a series of awkward falls and stumbles, alot of luck and one big fuckin accident that unfortunatley our planet is pa

humous and bread still the winnar.

half baked is a film and a half though

Well, the sad fact is the entire planet is set up upon violence as a negotiation survival mechanism.

I can get behind the idea of extraterrestrial life out there, although I seriously doubt we have been visited. The probabilities are infinitesimally small.

So if we are a planet which is completely based upon violent death in all manners and forms, perhaps other worlds ARE NOT!!

What IF other worlds do not know what killing is? Their world is based upon, let's say, solar energy, all life forms on that planet or planets derive everything from the same source and it's free. No need to kill. They would become hard wired to be gentle, as we are hard wired to be violent.

IF they visited earth, would they enslave us?......NO, that's something WE would do to THEM.

Maybe this is the worst planet in the universe.... would man's primitive ego and vanity be able to cope with a visitation that confirms us as utter barbarians? I think not...... we would go....ape.
