Here are a couple of reasons why I think we as humans should be punished by extermination:
1. Forgeting the teachings of the bible by having sex before marriage, killing other people for pleasure and money so we can survive, worshiping money instead of the bible, etc.
2. Slowly distroying our environment through deforestation, overfishing, pollution, global warming, etc.
3. Overpopulation which leads to the imbalance of the eco-system and killing off animals in the process.
4. Killing animals for money and pleasure, like hunting and fishing for pleasure, killing other animals for their skin such as fur, just so that people will know we are rich, etc.

There are many more reasons why I think we should all be punished and be exterminated, myself included. We are all sinners. Do you agree or disagree? And why.

Suicide is most often the last 'cry' for help. A person who commits suicide is has in many cases suffered for a very long time before coming to the act of taking ones own life.

While I am one of the first to admit that their have been a few who have jumped off a bridge just because they have been dumped I am not referring to them.

I am referring to those that have suffered for long periods of time, maybe silently maybe not, and after that long period of time have finally taken their own life.

People treat this callously, well if they couldn't handle it then their better off dead, and such. But often these are the people who have either, never had anything go wrong in their lives or have had something minor go wrong and they think that their world is caving in.

Having been there myself (noose around my neck) I get very angry when people just flippantly brush off the news of a suicide.

But now I wish to understand it. Why is it that people treat a suicide with such callousness, instead of feeling sorry that a person was driven to death they shrug their shoulders and make an off handed remark?

Please explain your answers.

I thank you in advance.

How has it affected you, if a lot or a little, tell why....and if it hasn't why not?

(for me, I know that when the 911 thing happened..with the candles everywhere...that affected me greatly...as well as the Princess Diana thing as well....I feel that this world has much more love than I originally thought that it had for others ...everywhere! I am really thankful that there is more love to go around! )

I also long ago, was telling a friend about suicidal feelings that I once was having ..and we were walking near my old neighborhood..and this person whom I didn't even know..walked right up to me and said "Don't you ever talk like that! I don't want you to die! I care about you...people that live all around this world care about you! Don't talk this way!" and that was pretty much what that person said to me! Boy! It shocked me...but proved that people do care!!!!!!! I am glad for people like this...so very, very pleased that there are people such as this!!!!

solipsism?

I asked a question a little while ago and got an interesting response. So allow me to ask a hypothetical question?


There are two school children, one is a BULLY the other is the bullies’ VICTIM.

The BULLY bullies the VICTIM mercilessly for years, slowly wearing down the self esteem of the victim and sending the victim into a deep and suicidal depression.

The victim has had others try to help but they are either unable or unwilling to prevent the BULLY from bullying the VICTIM. The VICTIM has tried to prevent the BULLY from bullying but is physically (by disability) unable to do so.

The VICTIM commits suicide by stepping in front of a loaded bus. The bus driver swerves to miss the VICTIM (still hits though) but in doing so veers off the edge of the road. The resulting crash claims two lives other than the VICTIM and injures thirty more.

Who is responsible for the death and injury of those on the bus, the BULLY or the VICTIM?

Why is that so?

Lets say that a person is born into and lives there life in a sensory deprivation tank:


will that individual be able to come up with the idea of colors? what about coming up with the idea of an other person? and will they be able to come up with a private language in order to formulate there thoughts?

i would think that they would be very infintile and would not be able to be aware of anything but the self. there is no real thought and they could not even dream of anything because they would have no prior reference in which to create the idea of such a thing. they could do nothing and think of nothing. they can only BE and can only be aware of there own conciousness but would not be able to recognize that they can even be aware because there is no language to tell themselves that.

do you agree?

I had a dream where everything i have tried at in my life, I had failed at and everybody else was more sucessful. However in real life, the real scenario most of the time is the opposite. Help me interpret this.

It went something like this

Society's reaction to all this funky jazz is based on the internal feedings they hussle themselves with. But they don't know they being hussled. Big media corparations take what is all iced out but not all like drive bye brat brat brat and they it's liek they sell yo back you own crack for twice the price. People turn into exaggerated versions of themself. So basically our society has gotten so iced out that it PIMPS ITSELF!!!!
