Why Money & Greed had to destroy the fucking world!!!

In 100 years we won't question anything anymore. People will believe everything they hear from the talking heads. The thought police will be witch hunting anyone who isn't following status quo. So what will be safe to wonder? How could we have not loved Big Brother.

Crusades were only "sold" as a religious was just like post 911 is sold as war on terrorism. Religion has been "in bed" with government since the "Holy Roman Empire" and is still used to control people. Still a war in Ireland between Protestants and Catholics.... Although of late it is calmed down a bit.

In 16th Century France there was a succession of wars between Roman Catholics and Protestants (Hugenots primarily). These series of wars were known as the Wars of Religion.

In the first half of the 17th century, the German states, Scandinavia (Sweden, primarily) and Poland were beset by religious warfare. Roman Catholicism and Protestantism figured in the opposing sides of this conflict.

I could list dozens more, continuing right up to the present day, all over the world......

Probably that we have so much surplus food here in the western world while there are people starving to death elsewhere in the world...

 

[intotheunknown]

im going to go ahead and say. well... just about everything.

 

[Stoner4Life]

perhaps the greatest and certainly affecting all of us right here in the Toker's Den was our failure not only collectively but individually as well for failing to get Yummybud laid in the 3+ years we had available to us.......

Long live Yummy!

No amount of time would have sufficed!

prescription medicine. er let me be more specific, all the fake prescription drugs like diet pills, sleeping, stay-awake pills, most of the "mental health" meds, and lol all these drugs for things that aren't even problems...like
"restless leg" syndrome or "tired in the morning" syndrome, not to mention all this crap that we're feeding kids that have high energy...arguing that high energy or an active imagination is a bad thing that need to be "fixed" with a pill.

I bet you could just look at the top 5-10 most profitable products or services right now and those will probably make the list as well.

bottled water anyone? speaking of water ...lawns, all the water we waste on watering grass in our yards instead of edible fruits n shit..that seems pretty immoral.

to hell with lawns that are not edible...ERRRR that grinds my gears


that would so cool if it was standard to grow food instead of a waste of water lawn

 

[Frozenguy]

They will wonder why we used flouride in our water, despite all our knowledge and technology.

They will wonder why we poisoned ourselves with aspertame, transfats, TBHQ/BHT, high fructose corn syrup, etc.

They will also wonder why America gave themselves mercury poisoning with the banning of incandescent light bulbs. Now we use CFL's and the EPA instructions for cleaning up a broken bulb are absolutely obnoxious. Read them! Its because of all the mercury in them.
Its sick, and NOT ONE CFL is made in America. The last GE bulb factory closed down in America sometime this year.

Thanks for the example, Protea. But can you explain?

War isn't defined when a president decides to use protracted, (even preemptive) conventional tactics against criminal acts. Just like most friendly nations, we have protocols on how we legally declare war.

The only religious connotations to the attack and the uh... decade-long and counting (lol) response were two words:

OBL referenced "infidels" when the Khobar Towers were destroyed. We weren't in SA to protect their religion or ours. We wanted oil on the cheap. Staging our military so close to the pump was for economic security reasons, not religious ones. SA didn't escape OBL's wrath either. And OBL's wrath with SA was political, not religious. SA feared of unrest generated by OBL and other terrorist organizations. SA's religious beliefs weren't terrorized, their domestic socialism was.

GWB referenced "crusades" in his presidential address following 911. Then he had to eat that word and say we we're hated because of our freedom, lol. I guess he was talking about our freedom to take from others what we want... at gun-point.

Neither of these guys actually believe they fought over religion. Both knew they merely tugged at the religious strings of their respective populace. Playing on religion is a way to get what one wants when one knows their moral reasoning isn't consensus.

Don't think more needs to be said on this subject, nail on the head & "God's Truth" Hempguy ...one has to love Emperor Constantine's deathbed conversion & what followed .

And this goes back long before we had even a tiny fraction of 5Bil ppl living on the planet we have now . And if not religion , then wars based on tribalism , nationalism & patriotism . Same tribal behaviors can be obseved readily in Chimpanzee groups that will attack members of other tribes routinely ...kill & eat them .

Same as it ever was , same as it ever was .... everyone wants to control the Land & the GOLD!! Someone say something about deforestation to ?

That would be N Ireland. I indeed forgot. Thanks for the reminder. But that was terrorism, not declared war. I just don't think it's fair to suggest the bloodiest wars are fought over religion.

 

[greenmatter]

the big moral issues we have in the west is the total lack of COLLECTIVE morals. governmentnationalismreligionpatriotismpolitics (one word .... get it) pulls the plug on our ability to work together and has been used as a tool to pry us apart it always has been and always will be. the "what is in for me?" attitude is what seems to be at the base of all of our problems (on a personal or national level). we could all use a good dose of empathy on most days but we rarely if ever even consider the other side of any coin. if united we stand ever erases the lines on the map things could start working out really well for a lot more people. and NO i am not backing a one world order here.all i am saying is that one word is a moral perversion and maybe we can't wait another 100 years to think about it. JMHO

I'm with you on the post-911 aspect, not the Crusades.

Religion has been "in bed" with government since the "Holy Roman Empire" and is still used to control people.

Ok. "Sold" is a farce. "In bed" is activity, even if it's merely coercion.

Still a war in Ireland between Protestants and Catholics.... Although of late it is calmed down a bit.

I could see where one may consider N Ireland's decades of bombings as war. I consider it as terrorist activity. War is defined and terrorism isn't synonymous.
