We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We ohhed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Grouped 'round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then, the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry, no feelings left
This species has amused itself to death

Laziness? Stupidity? Lack of vision?

Same reasons we fuck anything else up. We're becoming a very KJA country. No wonder he's so popular! (Supposedly)

Then in this my dear friend we shall have to agree to disagree. I think that would be a HUGE mistake. The people should have a right to defend themselves. And history has shown that governments do not always watch out for their people.

I respect those who do not wish to own guns themselves, but I want to keep mine (well my husband's) just where they are.
My reason is because I'm all for the taking of rights by the government.
Care to expand on that? :crazy:
I was actually talking about this to a friend via AIM the day before I commented in this thread, so here's the transcript because I'd rather not sound pretentious by formulating an argument:

tsukinofairy (4:17:26 AM): why?
RedstarAnims (4:17:37 AM): People only ever want more
RedstarAnims (4:17:43 AM): They don't appreciate what they have
RedstarAnims (4:17:48 AM): Make them fight for it
RedstarAnims (4:17:53 AM): Revolution ever hundred years
RedstarAnims (4:17:57 AM): every*
RedstarAnims (4:18:27 AM): We're already getting a pretty stagnant society
RedstarAnims (4:18:42 AM): Internet is closing down borders, uniting countries socially, if not politically
RedstarAnims (4:18:55 AM): A little harder to go to war with China when you're WoW buddies with people over there
RedstarAnims (4:19:54 AM): Humans thrive off adversity and better themselves because of it. Peace breeds sloth and indifference. Apathy is killing us all.
RedstarAnims (4:20:13 AM): 50 years ago a black president would have been assassinated, followed by peace marches and revolution leading to social change.
RedstarAnims (4:20:24 AM): Now the KKK wont get off their fat drunk asses to do anything about it
RedstarAnims (4:20:37 AM): We think we've won, but really no one cares about anything anymore
tsukinofairy (4:20:42 AM): is that why you go on about me being apathetic about things?
tsukinofairy (4:20:47 AM): well not "go on" ..
RedstarAnims (4:22:10 AM): I think war, starvation, death, rape... All of that is beautiful, because it helps foster art and makes us appreciate what we do have. We're losing what makes us human, not because we're fighting for it, but because we simply don't care enough to make the changes... "Should I go to war? Nah... I don't care what they do over there." Peace through apathy breeds stagnation.
tsukinofairy (4:23:03 AM): well i do see your point

Are you a teenager? Seriously, no offense meant, but you sound just like me in junior high. Joy from shock value statements kinda thing.

Definitely worth a try :)

As for diversity, yeah, that's kinda the whole point of a "free" society. Course, since we've dropped nearly all attempts at a free society (sans pretense), might as well start culling the herd :)

Yeah, that's why I provided the link. Treble Charger were little more than one hit wonders, so a refresher would be in order. The tune is so much fun it's stuck with me for all these years :)
I actually like Green Day. Not a huge fan, but "Dookie" was a fun album. Of course, "American Idiot" was their "Californication" so to speak, a good band that had been around for years, but put out an album that blasted them into super stardom. Kinda weird how some bands work like that.

I've been taking guesses on that for awhile now. Feel free to cast your vote.

(Here's a hint: I'm currently taking the rather sparse Pokemon mythos and translating it into an Egyptian/Judeo-Christian equivalent, with Mew, Ho-Oh, and Mewtwo forming a trinity of Mother, Father, and Child and Unown as the "Word"... But do not be deceived! I'm using the "trinity" theme not on that of the Christian model, but on the common misbelief that there is a similar concept in the Egyptian pantheon)

Well, maybe I'm quibbling about semantics, but I'd have thought that if something is a right, you dont *need* to deserve it.

If you have to earn it, it's a privilege.
