just needed to vent a bit so say whatever you want ha ha. is it me or is the human race just getting,, well, more dumb. or are we just forgetting were we cam from. I'm not a tree hugger at all i hunt, fish, and all that fun stuff, and all for using our resources. But when did humans become a cancer on the earth. and do people really think the earth is going to stand for it. and you hear about all this 2012 crap and i can believe it but i don't think its going to come from an outside source such as a commet or the moon splitting. I'm guessing the earth is fed up and its time to heal. best way to cure a cancer is cut it out, and make sure it cant come back. all I'm saying is wouldn't things be better if there was less of us and keep some of the great techs that actually help us. Do we really need huge city's with a Bunch of worth less fu**s. does anyone do anything to help themselves for crist sakes. my god my grand parents made it through the god damn great depression. sorry i just got lectured by some city fu** that tried to tell me i hurt the earth because i hunt, fish and make my own way of living. i take and grow what i need. Y do city people think they know it all..... Really go back to the pavement and let me live. I cant wait till all major city's crumble and all the city people die because they cannot live of what mother earth gives us. exp... city people are mad because there are deer in there suburb... they are mad and instead of killing and eating and using the meat they are going to castrate and spade the deer... what a joke.. i mean the problem is not the deer. the problem is people. I'm not against people but i think there would be less of us if we just stopped with alot of the nonsense that we do. Like saving lives in other countries, bums on the street,and who ever else we have to feed and give money to o ya, almost forgot. WELLFARE get rid of that crap. Half the people on it are just to lazy to get a job. if you cant take care of youself then you die... its called the life cycle and we should follow it. I'm just so sick of people coming into my town and telling me i am the bad guy for living off the land yet this dip stick used to live in NY were everything is just perfect. fine live in you city but when it crumbles, don't come to a small town and think we are going to take u in and take care of you. we will live and you will die we know how to take care of ourselves so stop telling my people how to live. city fu**s can just die.
i just don't understand people anymore we are just getting dumb and dumber. you know the song country boy can survive well it is quite true so if you live in a city and u are offended by this then maybe you should look in yourself and then learn some survival skills. sorry for the rant. just am sick of people especially people that couldn't tell there butt from a hole in the ground trying to tell me how to live when they cant take care of themselves let alone a family. so when the world starts to crumble and we have to hunt and take care of ourselves it will be a great day for people like me.
anyways I'm not sorry for the rant cuz you cant go through life being sorry.. but if it did bother some of you thanks for reading and giving me room to rant. and just something to mull over and will you be ready to care for yourself and your loved ones
first, i grew up in the country, on a farm and apple orchard. i hunted, fished, ate what i caught, didn't waste any of it. i loved that life. but i love the city. the city is where humans meet and perceive each other. it's where you find a frame of reference for your own explorations.
anyway.
from the start of recorded history man has been a cancer on this earth. it is the nature of our time. perhaps there were some before us who were worse, perhaps we are light years ahead of them. perhaps we are the poster children for "how not to be a good human". whatever the case, our time is a masculine one. the time of the sun. this is what we do and we do it because we need to learn the ramifications of our actions.
what you're feeling is the sign of changing times in my opinion. i do not speak with apocalyptic sentiment, i assure you. maybe timothy leary was right, and the information age is causing a quantum leap in human consciousness. i am noticing more and more that people are experiencing a psychic schism, the dissonance is finally catching up to them and they are seeing the outright backwards ways in which we live. i suspect intentional foul play, but that is beyond the scope of the point i'm making to you. your mind is being squeezed. you, like many others, are at the breaking point. your natural inclination toward balanced living has outgrown the incessant battle between id and superego, your primal nature and the demands of our society respectively (the result of which is what we call ego). i can't tell you if our time is special, we weren't around in the past to use it as reference. but i can say that in the few short years i've been doing the work i currently do (which puts me in a unique position to observe newcomers to the realm of the spirit) i have noticed a trend. maybe it's just the dynamics of my city, maybe it's worldwide.
my advice is to realize the reality of your reality. it is yours and no one else can live in it. take that as you see fit, it is your reality after all.
i like that. i know its my reality. im just sick of the people trying to change it and get in. haha like it said just a rant but i will continue to ap and see the world in a wider spectrum than most.
there is nothing i like more than a good rant.
seriously. i think it may be one of my favorite things in the world.
the other day my boss showed me that my Mercury is at 1 degree of Aries, which means that I communicate like fire and it's ALWAYS burning, welling up inside me looking for an opportunity to escape. it's eternally imminent. i can't help but talk, it's like breathing to me.
so i can certainly appreciate when someone needs to throw down a nice cathartic rant. release that pent up emotional energy.
i love doing it and also as a warrning haha. just felt like i was going to explode today so i had to get rid of some of the pressure. felt good and maby more will relate and we can have a huge rant session haha. sure some one will have something bad to say and i cant wait that will make me laugh. for some one like me who dosent take anything to serous except aping and billiards i do have alot to rant about. that is strange i dont care about anything but yet here i am ranting and raveing. haha time to see a specialist hahah.
we are specialists. we know more about the mind than any therapist could hope to fathom. (incidentally i'm at university for psychology, shhh...)
billiards, that's a good hobby. it's all geometry, numbers. that's the foundation of our reality, geometry. good times. it also goes well with beer. (billiards, probably not geometry)

is it me or is the human race just getting,, well, more dumb
I think it's not that people are getting "more dumb"... it's that we're able to converse with more people than ever before via all the technological advances we've made.
The internet... media... worldwide video streaming...
So, it's not that people are "more dumb"... it's that you're just seeing more of it than you used to.
Amen OP

Where do these "techs" learn their craft? Out in the wilderness with ol' Jethro and John Boy?

So what do "we" need? People who only take what they need from the land for themselves? That's a perfectly acceptable way to live, don't get me wrong... but "we" don't need it because it doesn't benefit "us."

So it's dumb to have empathy, compassion, etc?

i am the bad guy for living off the land
But there's a difference between living off the land and "living off the land" Into the Wild-style, isn't there? You enjoy the same consumerism, technologies, medicines, etc. that people do in the city where these things were invented. You just have the added benefit of being removed from it. Others aren't as lucky.

We are all products of our environment... your survival skills in the country are different from another's survival skills in the city.
If you feel you have "survival skills" to truly live off the land then you should throw your city-made luxuries out and head off into the woods, build your own shelter, hunt for food everyday, brush your teeth with twigs, etc. Until then I think your rant is pretty hypocritical and void of the things that make humans NOT dumb... compassion, empathy, creativity, communication, etc.
well besides the one guy who picked apart my rant. ahah which was very funny by the way. I think geometry would be OK drinking a beer, or ten. and billiards Lil more then geometry. in the fact that when you add spin you can eather push or pull the ball. kinda like when people sword fight. there is push and pull, that makes cirtin things happen. maybe the push and pull of swords is a bit hard to understand when adding with pool but couldn't think of anything else. but if anyone has questions on push and pull on billiards i will try to answer to the best of my abilities ha ha.
as for the guy who said i am hypocritical, if you weren't so mad when you red my post you would see that all i was trying to say is that its good to have technology and things that make life easier, but do we really need sooooooo much. i was just saying maybe we should tone it down a bit, get back to our roots and stop hurting ourselves. and i totally agree with that all the tech that we have it is an overload of people and topics and what not. but it was just a rant and if i made some one feel better or not so good i did my job hahah. i got stuff off my chest and made some one eather happy or not so happy. win win. ima go drink a beer haha makes life worth living.. :-D :-P
I was mad? Gee, I wasn't aware... I thought I was simply analyzing your "rant" and pointing out its flaws. No one's opinion makes me mad, bro. I'm just not one to use the "hugbox" mentality so you'll often see me speak my mind when I disagree with someone... but if it helps ascribe to my words whatever emotion you wish, I guess.

I'll be honest here... don't post if you don't want people to reply.
Quoteas for the guy who said i am hypocritical, if you weren't so mad...
I read no anger or malice in Astral316's posts. Let's stick to replies based upon the subject, not guesses regarding the state of mind of the poster.

If there's one thing I've learned while posting here... don't expect a certain response from something you say, because there will always be someone ready to throw your post a curve ball. ;)
that makes sence. and i am new to this whole forum thing so ya haha.
.
I also have very strong negative impression about welfare in modern western countries!!
When I was in Australia, There's usually some bums hanging around the bus station. They live in apartments(where is convenient and the rent rate is high) provided by governments, given sufficient funds for their own choice of buying cloths and food, and they still ask for changes all the time so they can still buy weeds! Some of those drug addicts are racist and acting unfriendly towards Asians. :x
so today i talked to a man that had a sign and he looked dirty and like a bum. i asked were he was from, how he got here, and other questions. He told me and none of it made sence. I then said you look familiar are you from here. He broke down cuz he new i had caught him in a lie. Mother efer lives in minot. he does this crap on his days off. so i didnt get mad but asked him how much he makes in a day sitting here. just take a guess i will get back to you guys on that. but how can people do that? i mean talk about being a crook. wow and just another reason i want to just beat people.
The reason i get mad is he said him and all his buddies do it and pool the money together. so i get to thinking some of that money was mine. I give those guys money all the time cuz i have a heart and i would like to see them get home and what not. i dont give them much but i try to help. Here i was thinking that i was doing a good deed. but nooooo we have to have rich people pretend to be broke and take my money. and i dont make crap for money. wow so much for being a good person.
i mean cant that be against the law to do this. wow
It works, can you blame them? If nothing else its something to do, lol.
ya i suppose but how could you feel good about yourslef. haha it is kinda funny not that im not so ticked about it but still wow even then simpilist scam can work out great. o ya th guy makes between 250 and 400 a day. and he says he does it for a whole week some times. i think i may change professions.
