Ich über mich
Ony a nation of unenlightened half wits could of taken this beautiful place and turned it into what it is today...a shopping mall...a big fucking shopping mall.

Thats all you got here folks...mile after mile of mall after mall, many many malls, major malls and mini malls, they put the mini malls inbetween the major malls and inbetween the mini malls they but the mini marts and inbetween the mini marts you got the car parks, petrol stations, muffler shops, laundromats, cheap hotels, fast food joints strip clubs and dirty book stores....

One transcontinental commercial cesspool...and how do the people feel about this? how do they feel about living in a coast to coast shopping mall...
they think its just fucking dandy!. :)

Thats where they get to satisfy their 2 most prominent addictiions at the same time...shopping and eating, millions of semi-concious people day after day shuffling thrtough the malls, shopping and eating..they are fatally attracted to the slow death of fast

  • Do you Agree?


    Who else agree's that we no longer live in a Democracy but infact a Plutonomy?

    What is Plutonomy?
    Plutonomy refers to a society where the majority of the wealth is controlled by an ever-shrinking minority; as such, the economic growth of that society becomes dependent on the fortunes of that same wealthy minority.

    Do you think it is possible to consider yourself moral, decent and compassionate AND support Capitalism? or is it a case of well..."if I don't play ball I starve so morals will just have to wait."...wait for what I am asking you honestly for your opinion....
    Instead of offering the tired answers like "thats just the way things are" or "I hate it but its never gonna change" why not discuss, comment, question or make statements about what you think would lead to solutions.
    Impossible? Futile?
    ....Less than 130 years ago we were without the light bulb, female voting power, radar, x-ray, trans-atlantic broastcasts of any kind. Slavery was just made illegal in America and Tv was in its infancy.

    Now we have craft landing on other planets and scientists are talking in real terms about manned stations on the moon...less than 3 life times later.Look how far we have come.
    We don't need to accept Capitalism and talk as if you have exhausted all other posibilities. We all know money in actual fact holds back progress after all if a politicians campaign is funded by an energy company its in his interest to delay and restrict renewable energy. Your phone, Tv, Laptop are all designed to break down in a certain time frame to keep you purchasing a new one...when it is entirely possible to have a light weight durable stylish looking model of phone with replaceable components for updating. We all wish for the same thing...happiness...security. A tribesman in the center of the Amazon doesn't dream of having a flashy car or 3 storey House with a pool because its outside his experience. So remember to keep an open mind when you dream of how things could be.
    PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINIONS!

  • Religous but not ridiculous...

    Being an Aethiest its all too easy to see the obvious flaws in religous thinking but one sentiment I definitely agree with is the oneness which is popular in religous writings of man and nature. Here are some good quotes by religous people.

    "If a man is called to be a street sweeper.....
    He should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted....
    He should sweep streets as Beethoven composed music...or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
    He should sweep streets so well that all of heaven and earth will pause to say......
    Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

    - Martin Luther King Jr.

    "There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and the music in its roar;
    I love not man the less, but Nature more."

    - Lord Byron


    Here is a nice long but good quote you might like.

    "My grandmother was a wonderful person, she thought me how to play monopoly. She understood that the name of the game was to aquire, She would accumulate everything she could and eventually she became the master of the board and eventually she would take my last dollar and I would quit in utter defeat...and then she would look at me and always said the same thing...."one day you will learn to play the game".

    One summer I played monopoly with a neighbour almost everyday, we would play monopoly for hours, and that summer...I learnt to play the game. I came to understand that the only way to win was to make a total commitment to aquisition.
    I came to understand that money and possesion was the way that you keep score...and by the end of that summer I was more ruthless than my grandmother I would bend the rules even if I had to to win that game.

    I sat down to play with her that fall.....I took everything she had, I destroyed her financially and psychologically....I watched her give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat.

    Then she had one more to teach me....she said.... "Now it all goes back in the box....all those houses and hotels, all the railroads and utility companies, all that property and all that wonderful money....now it all goes back in the box".

    I didn't want it to go back in the box...

    "No" she said "None of it was really yours or mine...sure you got all heated up about it for a while but it was around a long time before you sat down at the board, and it will be around after your gone....players come and players go..... but it all goes back in the box."

    "Houses, cars, titles, quotes and bulging portfolio's....even your body".
    So I learnt everything that I clutch and hoarde and consume....Im gonna lose it all.
    Not much of an R.O.I on that...

    So you have to ask yourself....
    When you suddenly get the ultimate promotion, when you make the ultimate purchase, buy
    the ultimate home, when you have stored up financial security and climbed the ladder of success to the highest rung you can possibly climb...
    And then thrill wares off......and it will ware off....
    Then what?
    How far do you have to walk down that road before you see where it leads?
    Surely you understand it will never be enough...
    so you have to ask yourself the question....what matters?

    - Pastor John Berg

  • A Resource based economy?


    It's useless to criticize the culture without providing alternatives.
    One such solution to the problems of living in a monetary based economy and society is a resource based economy instead.

    Simply stated, a resource-based economy focuses on resources rather than money, and provides an equitable distribution thereof in a humane and efficient manner. It is a system in which goods and services are available without the use of money, credit, barter, debt, or servitude.

    The Venus Project proposes plans for this social change that works toward a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative social design where human rights are not just paper proclamations, but a way of life.

    The Venus Project has a vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know to achieve a sustainable world civilization. It calls for a scientific redesign of our culture in which war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human, suffering are viewed as not only avoidable, but unacceptable. Anything less will result in a disastrous continuation of the problems inherent in today's world.

Isn?t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do ?practice?

Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth

We may not be able to defeat these swine, but we don't have to join them.
