$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cynicalheretic', 'I') think I know what your problem is on this. We have been told so many lies and so betrayed by our government and on so many occasions, that no matter what happens, there must be an alterior agenda or conspiracy at hand. As surprising at it may be, sometimes and egg is just an egg. Let it go, there are far more important thing to get into a twist over.

This question as been answered, let us move on to the next one.

Saddam had dentures. I did not lose, you just did not recieve the conspiracy answer that you wanted in order to justify your paranoid schizophrenic additude towards life. I am sorry I can't fake my answers to fit your needs, I really am. But move on, if you want to play another game may I suggest a nice game of chess?

This question: What is the purpose of your thread "Ask me a question"? In essence why are you on a peak oil forum making a thread just to answer other people's questions? Was is your motive? Is it just entertainment, are you bored, are you passing the time, are you drunk, did your wife leave you? What? How? Who? When? Why?
etc...

cynicalheretic - "People are inherently stupid and do not want to think or do for themselves so they place people in charge of thier lives. Unfortunatly when you do this, you risk creating those who have to much power and no accountability."

This is simply false. You've confused the cause with the effect. The state, division of labor, hierarchy did not originate because of stupidity and lack of autonomy. Stupidity and lack of autonomy are produced by the state serve its own interests. You have to keep in mind that "human nature" has been mutilated, repressed, devolved for a very long time. For the ruling elite, it has been a hard battle all along.

Yes, the masses are brainwashed, and wish to escape into a hyper-real Disneyland (shopping, movies, video games, etc) but this wasn't always the case. This isn't "human nature." Similarly, domesticated cows weren't always helpless parasites, completely dependant on the system of their own domination in order to even survive. That was a result of a very long and deliberate process.

Yes it was a long and deliberate process.
Thats why they are so stupid now.
So answer me this:

Who is doing something about keeping the balance between good and evil on this planet?

[cynicalheretic]

Pillow, I am afraid you are mistaking how you want to see people with how they really are. Since the dawn of man, the human race has always strived to be as lazy as possible. The few select supermen who wanted and could achieve power did so by giving the masses want they thought they wanted. This is how the world works and has always worked. Most people are cattle to be herded where they need to go. Over the centuries and a long time ago these people realized that they could not provide everything as people were beginning to take belief in idols and dieties and those in charge realized this and began and push state sponsored religion. This allowed the rulers to maintain control over both the physical and spirtual side of their cattle.

99 percent of all humanity is nothing more that a thoughtless, zombified, pleasure seeking waste of Oxygen.

Once you realize this and accept it, you can see humanity for what it is, and your eyes will truly open for the first time.

cynicalheretic - "the human race has always strived to be as lazy as possible."

Thousands of years ago this was true, generally speaking. I would call it "taking the path of least resistance." If we remained that way, perhaps the present situation wouldn't be so dire. Today most people have no choice but to frantically run in a hamster wheel just to get basic necessities.

cynicalheretic - "The few select supermen who wanted and could achieve power did so by giving the masses want they thought they wanted."

Freud would disagree: "civilization is something that was imposed on a resisting majority by a minority which understood how to obtain possession of the means of power and coercion."

Note the word, "resisting." Nobody wanted to do all the idiotic grunt work of plowing a field to feed these "supermen." You said yourself they were lazy. If they were lazy why would they "want" to be beasts of burden?

cynicalheretic - "Over the centuries and a long time ago these people realized that they could not provide everything as people were beginning to take belief in idols and dieties and those in charge realized this and began and push state sponsored religion."

What you have been describing is a paraphrase of what Christians call "Original Sin". Yes, let's just blame it all on "human nature." That explains everything. Looks like you're the one who has been duped by state sponsored religion too.

cynicalheretic - "Once you realize this and accept it, you can see humanity for what it is, and your eyes will truly open for the first time."

Are cows to blame for being part of a factory farm? Is it because of Evil Cow Nature, some Original Sin? It seems to me you are the one with your eyes closed.
