People

I'm wondering what you guys think about the people in our world: The people you see at the mall, in the market, just....everywhere?

I've set up this little poll to sort of quantitate the general goodwill or misanthropic hag-i-ness (like moi).

So, be good lab rats (that are never tested on, but only asked for their opinions).

I don't know.... I think its too easy too generalize people. Because all people are different and some people fit into two or three different categories. you know?

I believe we are all stupid and ignorant... Just too a different degree. As humans we all think we are smarter and better than other's. but in reality, We're no greater or different. We are all equal. If we think we are so superior, we are no better than the asshole that thinks that about you.... just equal

people are born greedy .. its a survival mechanism .. we are driven to need to eat constantly from the second we leave the womb.

as we grow and are taught and guided, we learn to only take what we need and share - to become a part of a community.

well, thats what's supposed to happen. But for the most part we remain greedy - we always take more than we need. We stab each other in the back at work, we rob, rape, murder, stalk, lie, litter, make war, destroy the planet, do every manner of fucking stupidity in every size and shape.

so basically i think people are shit. This is a generalization .. there are always exceptions - but unfortunately - just like the news only reports the negative - the assholes and scum make the majority of the impact on our planet.

I believe that there is a tiny % of people born good ... they couldnt be bad if they tried ... their brains are finewired to perfection - chemically overbalanced. There is a slightly larger % of the population born bad .. the opposite of the good people for the opposite reason. These people are incapable of being good.
They are sick.

The rest of the population that make the vast majority are pretty much in the middle .. leaning one way or the other depending on the upbringing, the influences ... their strength as people.

As it is alway easier to give into the imbedded feelings of greed deep within us - most people tend to be bad. Some use religion to try to be good (the ones that buy into the fear of eternal damnation - bad karma - whatever) but even then its a struggle and they find themselves commiting horrible acts in the name of their religion.
The people who stay good usually have small failings but are strong enough to keep up the good fight. This is a pitifully small minority.

Thats why the world is a fucking nightmare.
If i sound like a pessimist - i'm not. I'm a realist.
If i was a pessimist i would never have wanted a child.

I feel we can raise him to be a good person.. I've already seen that he is wired right - full of love.. Now we just have to hope he doesnt get twisted along the way by the strong influences of unsavory characters and he gets his chance to make the world a slightly better place ... if by no other way than having his own kids some day and raising them to be good as well..

as urge said, is my opinion also, but I have a version....


We develop as greedy fetuses, forcing our mother to take drastic life changing measures, to support us and help us uses needed resources. We get born and become even more greedy, needing constant attention, and are resource sapping from all around us. We grow into kids then into young adults, soaking up and using all the resources we can get our hands on. We become adults and enter the top level of greed, that has world changing implications. We then have our own children, to make sure that all the energy and resources this world can provide, will never have a chance to replenish..... it's inevitable... the end will come, when, I can't say, but it's comming simply because of a greed to live.

human beings are unbelievable ...
the dinosaurs lived for hundreds of millions of years and it took a meteor combined with a couple other natural events to wipe them out.

we're going to do it to ourselves before long and we've only been here (in our current form) a few thousand years.

The second our primitive brains were able to comprehend and use fire, we were fucked.
