"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think." Hitler
"I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few." Hitler
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." Hitler
"Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population defenseless." --Vladimir Ilich Lenin
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future." --Adolf Hitler, 1935

From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt, to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky...This worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development and envious malevolence, and impossible equality has been steadily growing. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the nineteenth century...

- Winston Churchill

Love will change the world. That's what we were told in the 60's. "Love will make you happy. Love one another. Love makes the world go around. All you need is love." We've talked of love nonstop for the last few decades. Actually for the last few thousand years. Where exactly has it gotten us? Are we one step closer to paradise? Hardly. Love hasn't stopped war, cured crime, or erased poverty. Hasn't even come close. Look for any sign of improvement and I guarantee you that you'll only see the most cosmetic of changes. Window dressing. Empty symbolism. Fatuous falderal.

"Thing are getting better all the time" the loveniks assure us. What about peace in the middle east? What about harmony in South Africa? Sure, there's peace in the Middle East, in between bombings. And there's plenty of harmony in South Africa, if you are wealthy enough to live behind electrified fences and locked gates. In reality things have turned to shit. Social and moray decay is an out of control cancer that's taken charge, a cancer born of love. If some people are stupid enough to believe things are improving, it's only because their poor brains are so benumbed by love they can no longer think straight.

Love, sickly love, brotherly love, unconditional love, cowardly love, geek love. A love that says, "Relinquish judgment". A love that encourages acceptance, at the expense of discernment. It's no wonder people imagine things have changed for the better, when in fact all that's changed is their capacity to accept any amount of shit, unconditionally. So the verdict on love is both bad and good. The bad news is that love has turned the world into a sewer. The good news is that people have learned to love the smell of shit.

Interesting but it fails to account for the difference between the people in power and hippies.

[A Sucked Orange]

It's speaking of greater things than hippies vs. those in charge...

In actual operation Nature is cruel and merciless to
men, as to all other beings. Let a tribe of human animals live a
rational life, Nature will smile upon them and their posterity;
but let them attempt to organize an unnatural mode of existence
an equality elysium, and they will be punished even to the point
of extermination.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery - Winston Churchhill

[RacerX]

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Ronald Reagan

We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.

Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.

Ronald Reagan

This is my favorite Christian quote, even though I am not a theist.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Matthew 19:24

then explain. That quote you posted sounds more like a denial for the solution to the problem than anything else. IMO love is the solution but just like FACTS it can be distorted.

"The greatest flaw that any intelligent person has, is to think that they are smarter than everyone else." - Immortal Technique

Awesome quote to go with my earlier question. Immortal Technique gets played around this house for good reason ;)

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ―Albert Einstein

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. - Tesla

Was reading an interesting article that go along side with the understanding of these quotes. Basically the premise was consciousness dictates the transformation of dark energy into light and then with the understanding of harmonics that we could achieve even greater scientific break-throughs that the ancients already new about.

Explain what? It is the denial of a solution. It's the recognition of the fact that a "solution" will never exist. The natural world is a world of war. Competition. Desire. Will power. You cannot evade it. Your opinion denies the reality of life itself. It's delusional and degenerative, however popular it may be.

The more laws, the less Justice.

Summum ius summa iniuria.

I am sure it was also already posted but
"With man gone, will there be hope for gorilla?"
"With gorilla gone, will there be hope for man?"

and the longer:
"The story of Genesis must be undone. First, Cain must stop murdering Abel. This is essential if you're to survive. The Leavers are the endangered species most critical to the world - not because they're humans but because they alone can show the destroyers of the world that there is more than one right way to live. And then, of course, you must spit out the fruit of the forbidden tree. You must absolutely and forever relinquish the idea that you know who should live and who should die on this planet."


You cats have some good ones~ thanks.

That is all your opinion, unless you're god... or something. We live in a unified universe yet live in a dualistic society. Things will even out eventually.


Q5Quint: that's a great quote! I've always felt that the more convoluted a 'justice' system becomes the more obscure it becomes to derive the justice out of it.

Ok, duder.

Life always lives at the expense of other life—he who does not grasp this has not taken even the first step toward honesty with himself. - FN

Indeed they will...

Thanks for the heads up god. Will start hating everything ;)

Our leaders focused on the material abundance that freedom generates and not freedom. Now we have netiher.
