I agree that as things stand, this would be an epic fail. But once the world is woken up and properly educated, this would be a success. So, we all just need to do our parts to assist with the waking up process. It won't happen over night and won't happen at all if we do nothing.

I thought I've explained this both clearly and redundantly

Wake YOURSELF UP and THEN you will educate people simply by being yourself and setting the right example! When you see a nice person, you know you are seeing a nice person because their words are backing their actions and their actions are genuine and honest. Through this observation, they are teaching you to be the same way by example, provided you're paying attention

When you see a fucking jaggoff, you know you are seeing a total waste of humaniy because their words are backing their actions too -- as they lie, cheat, use, abuse and act like a complete ignorant cock smoker. Through this observation, they too are teaching by example and they're either teaching you how to see the same way -- or -- they are teaching you that idiots do serve a valid purpose: ENTERTAINMENT!

So, if you want to educate then LEARN. If you want to get people out of bad habits, get yourself out of yours. If you want to shift the thinking of others, shift your OWN thinking first.

It's like Gandhi said -- you must BECOME the change you are looking to create. How can you create change without becoming the change, anyways? That would be a lot like trying to have a plumber fix a computer!!

Conversations like this are my way of educating people like you. When I rant mini-novel journal entries about my thoughts on these various topics -- anyone who gives a shit enough to read them, becomes inspired. Even if they flat out DISAGREE with what I am saying they are STILL being inspired to THINK INDEPENDENTLY. They are still going into a mode of self education even if their reason for doing their own research is "i really do NOT agree with that guy Dave!"

Who agrees with you or not, is irrelevant. Its all about getting people motivated to do any sort of thinking AT ALL because most people don't!

Now I'm sure you're going to say "what about the people who blindly refuse to listen?" ... well, the answer may be cruel but: fuck em'

Free will can be a bitch like that. You can't force people to care and sadly, they do reserve the right to the choice of not giving a shit. They will either wake up when they become ready to, or they'll eventually kill themselves doing something stupid!

Changing the world in this way is a lot like giving birth to a baby: creating something beautiful often time requires lots of pain.

But, its worth it -- and -- its better than sitting there with your thumb up your ass feeling sorry for yourself

Educate them by taking care of your own issues. Right now you're conflicted and having trouble being what you believe. You must be a living example of your belief system. Get your own issues in check -- whatever those issues might be (i don't claim to know what they are, but every human has them lol) -- and the person you become will in and of itself teach others how to accomplish the same.

Jesus didn't go around barking orders. He went around being the sort of person he thinks others should be -- and doing what he thought was right. All he did that made him such a great inspiration, is what most others don't do: he had the courage to be himself and voice his opinions.

Sure, he performed a lot of what people perceived as miracles -- but its like Joan of Ark once said: "its only a miracle when you don't understand how it was done"

Jesus tapped into Quantum Physics and did some mad skill shit. So, props to him for being so open minded. Doesn't mean he was doing anything magical. Everything that can be done, has a scientific explanation. I'm sure a laptop would seem magical to a cave man ... but, its not magical. Its technological!

Its what I like to call "deceptively simple". This is because it will be very difficult for you to do, because it is so unbelievably easy to do. The lack of belief is the key here. Most things we know about reality are fucked, yet our minds will still battle us to let go of them -- especially in the face of evidence which contradicts our beliefs.

The technical term for this (and a cool sounding one, in my opinion) is a "paradigm shift" (phonetic: para-dime). People can have these shifts as individuals, nations can have these shifts and these shifts can also sweep the planet globally. The Internet is the reason that for the first time ever, a paradigm shift has started to sweep globally. The Internet gives a 9 year old the syndication power of a multi-billion dollar cooperation -- so lets not take this for granted.

Its an awesome resource which gives us power previously only reserved for the rich elite.

I can also suggest some DVD Documentaries you can check out to assist you with your personal shift. I'll have to note you about that if you want them though. You'll understand why if you say you wish me to do so

I disagree with most of what is said on that link. Hitler was very skilled however with using fear, hate and an imagined enemy to gain control over people to sound a battle cry -- much like all governments do today.

Governments have gotten so good at it, that now we can even wage war on words in the English dictionary and use this as an excuse for conquest of other lands. "The War On Terror". Yeah, 4 letter words are bad enough. Its those 6 letter words you've really got to watch out for

I agree with defending ones rights, but I do not believe in needless bloodshed. If my desire to not want our troops dying so that a bunch of rich assholes can get richer, is not a form of support for our troops -- then I guess I fail to see what is a form of support for them.

I've said all I can say about this in my earlier replies to people who have commented negatively. If nothing else -- all I can say is that art is art, humor is humor -- opinions may be like assholes, but everyone has the right to theirs. God help us if one day that right is removed completely and we can be executed in public and have our families murdered, simply because we dared to speak a view which our government didn't want us to speak.

Anyone who would dare call someone unpatriotic or disloyal, simply because they disagreed with an action the US Government is taking -- has no concept of what patriotism or loyalty is. Much less freedom.

Hitler had the same problem as most genius', which is ego. Hitler was a genius, but any actions based in fear and hate cloud the mind which leads to mistakes.

If he used his genius for peace rather than war, he could probably have brought the world together into one government and become the first president of the planet. Instead, he got hateful and greedy which guaranteed his failure.

How many empires must fall and how many corporations must go bankrupt before the human race realizes that when you add shit to the pile, all you have is a larger pile of shit?

I think Einstein was right, with his definition of insanity: "the purest form of insanity, is when you repeat the same things over and over, always getting the exact same results each time -- while always expecting a different end result!"

I was startin' to like you, man, but now you're startin' to freak me out. "He could probably have brought the world together into one government and become the first president of the planet." While I realize that you didn't openly advocate a one world government, it still seems as though you don't mind it. Any one-world government would undoubtedly infringe upon every right we have. The only way to get a world like that is to deceive the masses into thinking it's good for them. The media would have you believe that peace would reign if we all "lived in harmony." Due to the fact that man, BY NATURE, is violent, greedy, and selfish, I don't believe this can ever be attained. It will be an ever so slow deception, that you'll never see it coming. You'll slowly start to think that a one world government will be good. If Congressman are so easily corrupted, do you honestly think the leader or leaders of THE WORLD would just do everything right? Maybe you're right. There wouldn't be any wars. There would be incidences, insurrections, uprisings, and whatever other names the government would come up with to make it appear as though nothing was wrong. Also, a government that big needs a LOT of money. An acquisition here, a literally hostile takeover there, maybe add a dash of extortion, and you've got your money problems solved. Once again, man is inherently greedy and selfish. Do you think that the people in power aren't going to be? Do you think human nature will go away just because we're under on big roof? I sometimes forget this myself, but the problem isn't the government. That's merely a symptom. The problem is man himself. I know you don't want to hear that because nobody wants to. It's so much easier to blame others for our problems. DISCLAIMER: If this doesn't apply to you, don't let it. This is for anyone who thinks that anarchy, overthrowing the government, or a one world government is a good idea. If you are one of those people, I suggest you read it carefully, honestly consider what I've said, and go from there. If you're not one of those people, ignore my rant. I wouldn't mind some clarity as to what you meant though.

I'm still rather curious as to what you disagree with about my deviation though. That is how this conversation started.

I'm sure you are well aware that we are in Iraq to waste lives so rich assholes can get richer. You don't think the rich government cares about people, I'm sure. Governments kill their own citizens for profit all the time, even when there isn't a war.

Its funny how many people have looked at this deviation and because they didn't bother reading anything, they read it as "anti-soldier" rather than "pro-saving lives".

What does however surprise me -- is that the majority who started out on a "fuck you" actually calmed down enough to realize the true purpose of the deviation and ended up apologizing to me.

The reason this shocks me, is just because people in general as a whole -- are brainwashed intellectually lethargic sheeple. People who are quick to attack, usually are quick to attack for the thrill of waring with people online in forums -- not because of any higher purpose or in defense of anything.

This said, the minority who were idiots who remained hostile -- quickly gave up when they were not succeeding in their agenda to goad me into a hostile online confrontation.

Why should I be offended, anyways? Until or unless I *know* someone, its all just a random bunch of colorful textual idiotic pointless meaningless expletives being tossed at me like snow balls, simply because the person has nothing else better to do.

They key is also getting mad enough at your temper to want to get rid of it, as ironic as that sounds. Just being so sick of who you are and how you are that you become angry enough for your mind to be open to the concept of change.

Do you know what he said about your sorry ass? Because I did tell him about this -- though he predicted you'd be too big of a pussy to email him. lol

He said he's seen your type many times before. That either you did your rounds but saw ZERO ACTION and you feel like you got screwed out of your opportunity. Or you were nothing but a desk monkey jealous of those out on the field. He told me you're nothing but a cry baby. He's seen your type before.

He also said that if you did email him, he'd just laugh at you. He'd ask you if you've ever had to go for weeks at a time wearing clothes soaked in the blood of your fellow soldiers who died in your arms. He said he'd ask you if you've ever seen your comrades blown apart by grenades. If you've ever had to carry a comrade to safety -- with the bottom half of him missing and his intestines hanging out. If you ever had to deal with fighting off gangrene foot rot. Mosquitoes the size of half dollars. And a lot more horrors. And all for what? Rich assholes concerned about rubber trees.

So yes, he predicted that you're a coward and if you don't beleive me, I gave you his email. Ask him. He served in Viet Nam from 1968 to 1969. He fully agrees with my stance on this and he says you are a piece of shit for saying all of this to me -- and that you are the traitor for talking this way to me as it is an insult to him as well as those who served in Iraq who are against the war.

So either email my father about it, or stop crying to me. Don't get me wrong, tho. Neither of us are mad or anything. I think people like you are amusing. You treat life like a gamer of quake 3 and you have no respect for others.

How can your father say such things about another service member is beyond me.

The way you talk is funny. You talk as if YOU had been in combat. YOU had seen friends get cut in half. YOU had seen a landmine take off a leg. YOU had seen a friend die from a grenade from a hole in the ground.

All you talk about is "my father agrees with me". I don't play gamer games, but you must. It is you, your talking about above, it fits your mind set.

Let me brake it down for you, ok?
1st. Seeing this ARMY logo is hitting at the Army. It's soldiers. No 2 ways about it. Don' t clam otherwise. The Army years were the best because everyone gave 100%, all worked hard for the same goals. Civilian life, most people just want to "get by" at doing their job. *read this slowly--I said " What about the prez who said LAST YEAR we need to get out of the fight and have a talk with our "enemies". You need to make something for him to see" You never answered this.

2nd. As far as writing to "your father" how do I know that it is really him and not you at the other end. I'm not that stupid. If your father was ever in the service, much less in 'Nam, I sad that I have RESPECT for him. Then you "claim" he said things about me and my duty in the US ARMY. I've asked before, how can he say these things to another service member? Then you talk about me "smoking crack and dieing" I have never done an illegal drug in my life, nor do I ever intend to.

3rd. I never said "combat is the only way to serve" I said "You talk as if YOU had been in combat. YOU had seen friends get cut in half. YOU had seen a landmine take off a leg. YOU had seen a friend die from a grenade from a hole in the ground."
Notice how the you is all caps? It was just to point out that all you say is "my father said" I never said I have a need to shoot other people. So lets not get that twisted, ok?

4th.Time "warrior"(kind of like a "gamer's handle, isn't it?) Your point? What is actually your point? I leave you with this "What about the prez who said LAST YEAR we need to get out of the fight and have a talk with our "enemies". You need to make something for him to see...or all you just talk and little or nothing else.

And I also like how you are really educated about what you believe and write as well. I'm a person who believes that now we need to move towards unification and peace. I'm not against soldiers per se but I believe there could definitely be less of them.

And I also think it's quite humorous the ignorant hate mail you get for this, how they get all upset over this and don't read the details. Though I am a smidge confused on how "rich assholes get richer"?

Love the educated wittiness.

I think its less about peace and more about joy, contentment, cooperation and respect. Cuz when you think about peace -- peace by whos definition? The UN? The corporations? Know what I mean?

I think learning how to communicate and respect each other is the first step towards anything resembling peace. I also think the Internet is the key and it is happening right now.

True. True. You've just redefined parts of my thinking.

Well, we all effect and influence each other. Just tons of people and ideas all zipping around and slamming into each other. Such is life

I'm not anti-war. Anti-soldiers. Or anti-anything. I am simply Pro-Saving Lives. Thats what the trolls don't understand
