It’s called ‘us’…
A bunch of degenerate, halfwit dumb-assed monkeys hell bent on watching ourselves slip deeper into an oblivion in which we all watch ourselves create.
At some point after the primal equivalent of George ‘Dubya’ Bush fell out the tree, we as a species have de-evolved into the ancestral equivalent of an X-Factor reject that God himself would be ashamed of knowing, let alone having been responsible for creating!
Well, firstly there’s two aspects to that which need exploring to start with really before I get onto the focus of my post.
So, if your of the opinion that God did indeed create mankind in the image of himself, then boy did he f*ck up. Was he so stupid to believe us to be his penultimate creation…?! Worrying indeed, wouldn’t you agree? I’d personally feel safer knowing that I was a pet to a Duckbilled Platypus right now but that’s just me.
Of course that depends upon which Religion your faith is drawn to of course. Without stereotyping each God into a single class, ‘he’ or ‘she’ (as political correctness would have you believe) didn’t impart such wisdom to his subjects now did they…
Further more, as they all watched – and in some cases told their subjects to wage war for almost an eternity trying to happily convince non believers that facing their maker would be the only alternative to not becoming a believer of their own religious choice, they then sat back and had a right good giggle as we f*cked things up ‘Big Stylee’…
Admirable, really wouldn’t you say.
Nice to know that God is like the dysfunctional red neck parent who happily watches his children burn themselves on the stove having left petrol and explosives lying around for us to play with.
I have my own theories on the validity of such single minded creationalism – it’s called science but not the subject of this in anyway. There’s plenty of time to fight over who’s Gods the biggest and I’ll reserve that for other people to indulge in on my behalf while I fight my own demons and worry about everyone else’s.
It's all ok, God me to do it and I'll say my prayers afterwards anyway...
If you believe in science, (some do), we are led to believe in evolution and the whole species system. I’m not so sure on that but if we did, at which point did we stop evolving and learning to advance with our our own survival as a species…?
Does anyone know? (Messages please…!)
Surely if there is a God, then equally there must be a Devil! If there’s a Hell then at what point did we miss out on Heaven and a decent life on Earth… Ah, I remember now, it all begun when we started f*cking it up for everyone…
The major turning point has to be the Industrial revolution. It was the beginning of mankind’s ability to begin developing more efficient means of ensuring it’s own doom. Since we have strived for absolute perfection in this area of expertise with each country now hiring teams of specialists to ensure a cataclysmic finale if so desired, allowing people like Ronnie Raygun and Gunho George Bush in power only adds to the worrying sense of bewilderment as each new age approaches and heightens the senses into concluding that we really must have a Charles Bronson styled Death Wish as our aim.
History has taught us much about our conduct as a species but like at school, most of it was ignored or forgotten as we all sought to get laid at the school disco. Basically its always worked on a simple principal – kill everything that doesn’t conform, isn’t edible, is edible, or might be in the way of something edible… The earliest options were to say God told you to do it, this method worked for a lot of people and everyone rallied behind you as you begun your evangelical annihilation of non believers and all other forms of passive resistance. Nowadays its frowned upon a little more but still applies in rare circumstances, especially when we think we can get away with it on the sly. Also still the option of choice for many non believers and extremists the world over as well as by a few ‘special’ and dedicated members of society. Fortunately this has given way to more elaborate ways of extermination or genocide that are far more reliable than a load of hoodie wearing cross burners.
Yay for technology…
Often we choose to introduce other countries into a regime change after painting them as the evil of humanity simply because we don’t like their way of life, their beliefs, or the way they bounce on their space hoppers on Saturday mornings. It doesn’t really matter when the higher powers that be make a decision and before you know it we’re all booing our new found enemy.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough we often overlook the destructive power of nature, forgetting the large part it had in forging this great Planet we now enslave for our own selfish needs. This last week has unfortunately humiliated us as a species into having to re-educate ourselves to the many things we believe we have the right to, teaching us that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Causality, to quote the Matrix – “We are all victims of causality. I drank too much wine, I must take a piss. Cause and effect”. Simple physics when you think about it but something we clearly have become arrogant enough to overlook for a long time and sadly something thrust upon us this last week.
Working in graphics and design I have become used to the many advances of science and much of what I do relies on technology an for the large part. I am eternally grateful of it’s readiness to evolve into something better when possible however some things to me have always just seemed like a bad Idea, no matter what.
Nuclear power to me is like one of those late night drunken suggestions your friend has after far too much to drink :
- “Hey Bob, I’ve got this great idea… Remember how we can create near critical mass in basically an oversized pressure cooker…?”
- “Yes but isn’t that a tad dangerous? Isn’t that the same stuff they make Nuclear weapons from…?”
- “Yes but it’ll be ok, we’re gonna make clean electric with it, plus we’ll be saving the Planet…”
At this point someone should have hit him. Hard.
Yes, of course there is a point... It's at the end of my Scythe and you'll be feeling it real soon...
As I’m clearly not a scientist, it would be wrong and maybe uninformed if I were to form an opinion about making electric power from what is essentially the most dangerous substance known to man, to which every part of its creation causes unfathomable health risks to EVERYTHING. As such even the waste product is near impossible to deal with let alone contain safely, and lets not forget the potential disasters awaiting us when we transport it from A to B when it needs dealing with…
The power unleashed by the Earthquake on Japan last week is something that few countries could have ever prepared for let alone expected and yet despite this, building Nuclear power stations in any capacity near civilisation is still seen as a viable option…
Hello… Anyone home…?
Call me a liver lilied survivalist, but if we were to choose to be building Nuclear power plants anywhere then may I suggest somewhere a little safer like – the Moon…
I can see the inherent dangers associated with new clean wind turbines. – People getting their kites caught in the those big Eco-friendly blades may prove to be a real obstacle for many of us, especially on those particularly windy days… Solar power is also as dangerous as I myself have nearly been blinded staring at the brightness coming off the few solar panels I have been lucky to see on my travels, plus the thought of harnessing yet another readily available free source of energy offends my very being when I know that I can have a nice impending Nuclear disaster looming on the horizon, largely thanks to the oversight of a few cretins who value financial gain over the safety of it’s customers. Why cut corners worrying about silly little things like health and safety when we can be the focus of a Mythbusters recreation when things go wrong.
One planet, a bottle of Cola and a few Mentos…Hey presto!
There are few consolations when a disaster like this happens, and I believe that in such events its only wise to try and seek positivity from our failed plight as humans however Japan is probably one of few if not the only country that could have coped with an earthquake of such magnitude anyway. The following Tsunami was clearly a bi product of the conditions and the environment and since the flooding and humanitarian crisis that followed was sadly to be expected, of this scale no, however as we have seen over the last decade, incidents such as these have dire repercussions at best.
How we cope and deal with them are only part of the problem as we fight to minimise loss of life and the inevitable crisis that arises but a failure to address the shortcomings and potential for similar or other unforeseen consequences is key.
In less than a week we have all seemed a population, a country and a major power be humbled by nature, lest we choose to ignore such warnings then our future is bleak at best and delayed briefly only by our own ignorance.
Of note, the same week that shares the headlines with the ‘Megaquake’, scientist reveal ΝASA are looking into the lunar activity and the effects of Gravitational pull on our Planet due to the so called Super moon syndrome (lunar perigee), experienced this month on the 18th of March.
“Previous supermoons occurred in 1955, 1974 and 1992 – each of these years experienced extreme weather events, killing thousands of people.” – Clearly not related…!
“But according to Dr Victor Gostin, a Planetary and Environmental Geoscientist at Adelaide University, there may be a link between large-scale earthquakes in places around the equator and new and full moon situations.”
He said: “This is because the Earth-tides (analogous to ocean tides) may be the final trigger that sets off the earthquake.”
“However, an expert speaking to Yahoo! News today believes that a larger moon causing weather chaos is a popular misconception.” – Notice, Anonymous and clearly a f*ckwit who didn’t want the humiliation being revealed when there clearly there will be some impact – Causality… Remember, the moon’s too big, I must take a p*ss…
Something like that anyway! Nothing to worry about then, it’s official…
Just for reference, where along the equator is Japan exactly!
It’s only fair to believe that scientists, the Governments and the media will always only tell us what they want. One way or anther they probably aren’t prepared or have anymore of a clue than Homer Simpson…
