I think the part about disciplining kids is actually kind of true. Alot of the kids at my school were such little bitches and had no respect for adults. They need to get kicked out of the house and into a labour intensive job to see what things are really like. Otherwise the world is going to be run by stupid s like Paris Hilton who've never done a singe days work in their lives and think they can get away with bad behaviour and disrespect. ARHG DIE MOTHER******S :whip:
But yeah the rest is teh stupahd \D:/ |

Oh, god...
The world is going to Hell? How so? Name one atrocity that has happened in this world that wasn't happening 2000 years ago? People still get raped, people still get murdered, children are still killed and the world is still in 'Hell' if you want to consider it that way. You fear for your life, so you create a safeguard - a fail-safe plan to shield you from all the horrors of our reality...most people call it God, but so many are too proud to admit that it is really an opiated off-shoot of irresponsibility which they deify, not some pillar of light spoken of in an ancient book.
I'm not against escapism, in fact, I'm one of the most escapist people I know. I play video games, I listen to trance music, I live on the internet it seems, I've got no alibi. My shield, though, is reason - I will admit that I like this reality better, this referred perception on the world which gives me insight into that which most people cannot see for the sake of sight, but I know what is real, and inversely, I know what is fake. That being said, believe in whatever the hell you want to, just realize that the only person who created this 'Hell' for you is you and you, alone. Don't try to shunt off responsibility on some figure which has supposedley forsaken his creation. |

| I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sure laughing. The fact that people stupid enough to disprese this sort of nonsense exist is proof enough to me that we're not yet finished evolving from apes. |

| Hey, when was the last time you saw an ape doing something monumentally stupid like devoting its existence to a supposed creator? |

"The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by H.Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history." |
