Wow, people are so stupid.

[Super Aurora]

Ignorance in bliss and in the case of Youtube (or any internet site that has 100% anonymity) its a whole mountain of happy pills.

You really want to see stupidity....go to the Craigslists forums. That will either piss you off or make you ROFL

I personally love 4chan and ED. They bring in great lulz.


But seriously, religion shouldn't exist in this era. We don't need it, there's no benefits it gives to the society, and it was used back in old days as a means or way for people back then to explain unexplainable things like how the world came to be, how we started, etc etc.

With the technology and advance knowledge and information of the Universe, there's no need for a religion. Only remaining thing in religion is the philosophy aspect and even that can do without having it to abide to religion group. Religion now is just a conformity group of opinions that clash with another religion's.

Okay Goliath, what about the whole oil situation?

@Everyone: I take it there's nothing wrong with the opposite extreme since you know one's all big and bad and the other one's practically perfect.

If we don't rely on religion so much in this day and age, you wouldn't have any of these extremes hanging around.

You can roll your eyes all you want till they fall out of your sockets, but what I said is pretty true. In reality you really don't need religion as a necessity this age.

sorry. I had only just found that video at the time and had to post a link.

Edited to add: Religion never had a practical use, but it's still around because people want that sense of purpose that is so rare in a culture in which people are so harried and stressed. People look to religion for comfort about themselves, their lives, and their actions(and to gossip about others ).

Ironically, I found on article there recently that said that one of the biggest stockholders of News Corp, Fox's parent company, is a guy from Saudi Arabia. LOL, they go on and on about America and how much they dislike 'Muzzies' (on the Yahoo Buzz comments pages) then they find out that their fav news network is owned by one of their enemies.

Interestingly, Saudi-Arabia is one of the United States' closest allies. It's also a country that ranks lowest on all kinds of lists of human right organizations (e.g. Amnesty International). Women have no rights. They aren't even allowed to drive a car, go to the cinema or to leave the house without their husband or a male family member. I wish I were making this up, but sadly, I'm not. Oh, and they have public beheadings too!

And there was something else about Saudi-Arabia, too... Wait, what was it again? Let me think...

Oh yeah, 15 of the 18 hijackers of 9/11 were Saudi's, and the attack was financed with Saudi money!

Yet it were Afghanistan and Iraq we invaded and Iran we label part of the "axis of evil"... Hmm... Somethings doesn't seem right here...

Okay Goliath, what about the whole oil situation?

Er...?

That's kind of a broad question, don't ya think?

Yeah, it is. Doesn't keep some people from being misinformed though.

I know, its so medieval. Of course they get offended when a joke is made about it [beheadings] in Aladdin. This is one of the reasons Obama bowing to the Saudi King is offensive, if they don't treat their own people with respect, why should we (of course, other idiots are offended simply because their opposition).

Yeah, doesn't seem right. Part of the problem is the terrorists aren't part of a country declaring war but a group of people within many countries. Makes things a little more complicated.

Oh great. A new thread on religion.

Well, 'we' show them respect for geo-political reasons. Western foreign policies are really only about human rights and morality when they fit our interests. If not, screw them! Business goes first!

You thought bowing to the king was bad?

That's why the whole 'war on terror' is bullshit. You can't fight terrorism with conventional military tactics. But who's going to stop these silly wars? We wouldn't want to anger the military-industrial complex, now would we?

[Lazario]

Oh great. A new thread on religion.

No.
Religious extremism. Which is even better.

But in all fairness, this is the #1 topic I think the vast majority of Americans ignore discussing or learning about. I don't even know anything about Islam or Muslim - what they are, what they mean - culture or which one is evil and/or who hates which, Republicans or Democrats, and who defends which. Where they come from, what they do, how they operate. What you can and can't say in the media about both. And yet, I've heard Republicans spout off about the evils of one and the Democrats criticize the Republicans for a lack of knowledge on which one they're attacking.

It might be helpful for more people to learn about it. And before we do, I don't know how informative foreign war reports are going to be. I admit it - I don't know who we're currently invading and why. I just get the impression that we like to stick our noses in about things that might not be our business.

Or... perhaps we're invading countries our foreign corporate people want us to?
