Humans.

So smart and yet so stupid. Too busy breeding and self pleasuring with snouts in troughs to see the imminent destruction. You can't keep taking and giving nothing in return but toxins. We are condemning our future generations to a truly miserable life. Our futuresakes. Our future flesh and blood.

The are currently 1 billion cars belching fossil fuel bi products on this planet. That will double when China gets up to speed. Where do people thinks that stuff goes? Disappears into the air?

So now the search for oil grows ever more desperate as environment protection acts are quietly harpooned in the dead of night. Ripping up the pristine Alaskan tar sands to produce one of the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fuels on the planet. Who's in the middle of that? BP of coarse. Who like to paint themselves a bit green these days to suit the lefties but who are currently facing 15 serious environments breaches around the world.

Anyway I'm ranting. I just can't see a way out for us. As a

Well said Oz. You can borrow my soap box to stand on any time you like. ;)

Out of curiosity, what has been the reaction of your favourite politician (Abbot) to the message of the IPCC Report?

Money talks Oz.

I can see many problems but dont have the answers.
Kids today all want to be gangsters. *** and violence is the norm now to young people though music and Tv. We idolise people with money and fame. Wouldn't it be nice if you gained respect for what you do in your community. People are brain washed! Tv is shocking! I saw a loan advert yesterday with 2000% interest. How is that legal?
Why cant they just put loads of nice stuff on tv and chill everyone out. The tv has a massive impact on the mental state of the world.
World war 3 probably started a good few years back and everything is so depressing.

Thankfully I believe were entering a new spiritual era and developing a new form of consciousness.

Oh Bingo.

I was partially agreeing with you, then the last 2 sentences.

Is it cold on planet Bingo?

Bongo keep on with your search,do not care what they say to you


"Human existence is trifarious, a combination of three currents: physical, mental and spiritual. Most people may not transcend the limits of their physical existence: they get enmeshed in crude worldly pleasures, tormented by desire. Subtleties of life, expression and practice are perhaps beyond their reach. Their world is limited to their bodies and physical requirements.

There are others who are more concerned with their minds as they feel that it is the supremacy of mind that sets them apart. Their lives are guided by their desires for mental satisfaction. By virtue of their endeavours they create poetry, art, music and sculpture, for instance. They express the finer human feelings of mercy, sympathy, love, friendship and pity. They believe that the mind flows for the sole purpose of attaining the Infinite, and hence they focus their energies on the contemplation of the Transcendental Entity. They are spiritual a

Hey thanks for that. It's very interesting and I'm studying hypnotherapy at the moment. I've learned loads about brain waves and how to tap into different levels of consciousness.
The problem is science won't recognize spirituality but in my opinion is the missing link in the human demise as a species. Money has become more important than a life these days.

[bongosdad]

Do you believe in bigfoot though?

[Balanbam00]

Bongo : Spirituality has nothing to do with Big foot , aliens ,ghosts (if there are ?) etc


Subjective approach ,objective adjustment!

[bongosdad]

Sorry the bigfoot question was a bit random.

Point is I believe you can enter the spiritual world by meditation. Im still trying to descover what exactly the spiritual world is though.

Just keep looking you will find

[yubbywelch]

Yep, and ask you may find the real answer.

[Balanbam00]

Yes and the real answer is?

[Balanbam00]

...Anyway I'm ranting. I just can't see a way out for us. As a species we need to reduce our numbers by at least two thirds to take the pressure off this planet. Otherwise we're stuffed.

$$$ the root of all evil.

It is the human mind which is the root of evil.

Today the whole human society is under ruthless expoitation by capitalists. Capitalist exploitation pulls the very existance of humanity to the brink of extreme catastrophe by scattering its explosive tentacles into every aspect of human existance.
