Asking what's wrong with people is like asking why turkeys stare at the sky mouth open when it rains, because seeing how we can't rely on good ole god to wipe out humanity, we need to slowly but surely do it ourselves.

no, no your fine, I'm just presenting a logical standpoint on it all. I see what your talking about, and it makes sense. What I mean is when you strip away all rules even religious beliefs as well, it comes down to survival. We are one of the very few species that has the ability to reason which makes our species extremely strong and in some ways dangerous. That's why we are so dominate. God gave us this, at a cost, sin i guess; we get to make choices.Thaius said:

I can see why you would assume.
It will not suck the earth into a black hole. Saying it will is wrong on multiple layers, like an onion. It is fractally wrong, wrong at every conceivable level.Starke said:
It won't make a black hole - collisions of these energies happen all the time in the upper atmosphere with no black holes.
->Even if it does:
The blackhole will decay via hawking radiation
->Even if it doesn't:
It'll be so weak it'll pass straight through the Earth
->Even if it doesn't:
It'll be too weak to do anything.
The LHC will not make a black hole. It will not tear a hole in time. It cannot be used as a weapon. It is not sabotaging itself from the future.
Well... that makes things easy. Usually posting religious ideas on this site just gets people mad at me. Talking to a fellow Christian reduces that possibility, lol.Burningsok said:no, no your fine, I'm just presenting a logical standpoint on it all. I see what your talking about, and it makes sense.

Yes, I do see what you're saying. I just think that, from a Christian standpoint, God's law takes priority over the purely logical goal of survival. It's all a matter of how to live, rather than a command to simply live.
In my theology class a while back, we were talking about the fall and what the state of humankind is versus the nature of it. It was a rather interesting topic, really: is humanity naturally evil, good, or neutral, and what effect does sin have on it all? I personally thought the idea that made the most sense was that God made us inherently good, but our choice of sin affected humankind like a disease: sin is not our nature, but a perversion of it. Interesting stuff, theology is.
Too many to get into but allow me to try. Stupidity , Why the Fuck not Syndrome, attention, misguided ideas. The thing is everyone's conflicting stupidity runs rampant, they all believe they are doing something fun or good and will get the desired result but honestly the reasons vary to much from person to person to catalog them all. (if they don't want any result and still do something stupid please refer to the ancient proverb (The person acting stupid for no reason is stupid)).

And no, not in that sense.
Are you sure it wasn't the last couple weeks? If it is, then those weeks have significant meaning. Anyone who has read The Call of Cthulhu will know what I mean.
Personally I see people being stupid as a good thing, they teach us want not to do and give us a good laugh while watching them. Everyone wins!
What's most annoying about this common precept is that it assumes that there's a simple cause and effect relation in human interaction. Reducing human culture to simple, direct causes such as pop culture, religious myths, a dearth of honor, ect. does even more injustice than the "wrong" behavior of "today" because it doesn't seek to understand the people called into question. Rather, things like this thread reduce people into an abstraction of badness, a simple formula that we can all walk away with like a pacifier of self-assurance. This is what allows the ideologue to stop thinking and rest in whatever right is at the expense of othering the "wrong" people. All ideologies centered around "right" and "wrong" come down to this xenophobia. Instead of writing off one thing or another, first try to answer for yourself how it is interesting rather than moral. Consider the thing itself rather than how it fits into your system. Real morality isn't about self-justification, but the empathy one has for one's neighbor. Stay focused on the individual.
Now, if this is about internet BadMannering, the response is simple. Don't care about it, and when putting out an opinion that others will disagree with, be as polite as possible to not give them a toe-hold to flame against you.
