Philosophy - October 2006

Nowadays all cops do is give out tickets, taser innocent citizens and protect rich people from getting robbed of their mansions. Lets face facts, all police do is stop poor people from robbing rich people of their money. Why does anybody have respect for cops? Rich people got their money from screwing poor people anyways. All cops do is protect the rich people in their gated communities.

Is it futile for people under 20 to study philosophy? Do they lack the requisite experience needed to apprehend philosophical theories?

how can you send a man to his death?
as you sit miles away behind walls and a desk
this man believes he is doing gods will
for that's what you told him, he's brainwashed to kill
to you he's a number one of many more yet
send his brothers and sisters all to their death
and they will believe you are they welcome in heaven
for you have told them they are martyrs
but there is no other way to heaven

but pain begets pain and hate breeds more hate
and if there is a god he must turn them at the gate
for i must believe they are not welcome in heaven
not angels not martyrs
no other way to heaven.
======================================

note. i was going to write a love song, but these are the words that came out. i wrote it the same day as those poor amish children were killed. it's also about 9 11, 7.7, and how i detest paedophiles, murderers and especialy terrorists. so if there is a god, dont you think it's time you used your all seeing, all knowing, all powerful powers?

the other way to heaven.

if god is there, watching over us
does he see the greed, does he sense the lust?
does he feel the pain his creation makes?
does he understand why so many turn away?
and yet they all believe that they are welcome in heaven
in their minds they are martyrs, and they'll go
the other way to heaven

there's a man who thinks he's doing gods work
by causing pain and death and hurt
he takes young kids to a distant place
he enjoys his lust as he tortures and rapes
and yet he believes he will be welcome in heaven
he is gods vengeance, and he'll be welcome in heaven

there are those who strap explosives to themselves
or they plant a bomb to blow non-believers to hell
but they will never look upon god's golden face
they wont bathe in his glory; they wont feast in his grace
and surely they are not welcome in heaven
in their minds they are martyrs
but there is no back door to heaven
==============================

there are another two verses- read

Every religion has a devil. So this question is about "know your devil". And, can you also tell me about the name of the devil in Islam?? Other than the name,"Shaitan" ? And how is he/she different from the above two devils?

The milky way is 100 000 lights years long and 30 000 light years wide.
There are several billion galaxies in the Universe.
The Universe keeps expanding in all directions at the speed of life.
Doesn't this make our disputes (political, religious, etc...) all seem kind of petty?

Woodwards book indicates RICE lied about not being told of an attack on the USA AS someone said just before She clearly told the 9/11 Commission that she was warned by a memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack inside the United States" : she decided at the time that the memo was a "historical document" despite it detailing recent evidence for the claim. That was in 2004. Also, Richard Clarke's book addressed this issue previously. so did they want an attack and if so why is no one doing anything about that act of treason

global vegetarian regime, people of the world
The Universe is calling u to use your heart & mind to make a decision, are we here 2 devour nature or live in harmony with her?
Over 50 million animals per day are slughtered 4 human consumpstion world wide. America alone kills 96 million animals per week.
This is a senseless & unnecessary act, 4 it has been proven that man can live sustainably on a vegetarian diet without the slaughter of all these innocent creatures that pay the ultimate price just 2 B devoured.
The word civil means to live in an advanced, sophisticated, intelligent society. The opposite to civil is uncivil or barbaric. To fuel our society off the back of all these dead animals is uncivilised, so we really live uncivilly not civilly.
The animals are asking you 2 stop killing & eating them. For if they could talk & u ask them if u can eat them, what do u think they would say? NO! So please stop eating the animals of the world & explore a vege lifestyle.
