I’m throwing this out here because Falcon gave me the right to speak my peace and my mind. He did this for us. Period.

Does this give me the right to disrespect my brothers? No. Does this give me the right to bash someone else for their own opinion just to make my self feel better? No.

All this does is give me a place to put my own opinion, whether or not you agree or disagree with that and make your own opinion known. I can deal with that and cherish that. I’d love to hear what you disagree with me on. I will stand strong on what I believe in but I will keep an open mind…… I will adhere to the common sense that nature has allowed me to do. Think. Think before I act, think before I speak.

There are much larger things in the world that need to be addressed other then who’s video card is best. There is global starvation, global genocide that people turn a blind eye to, this war brought on because of oil (no matter what is said about it), global warming that no mater what your views are on it, can’t ignore. There are species being eradicated and extinct every damn day and are we're doing anything about it? No. A HUGE NO.

So instead of pointing our fingers at someone else and saying that they don’t know what they are doing is bullshit. All it does is prove that no matter what you tell your selves you are no better then any one else in this f**ked up world.

Do something about it, do something that matters, help those around you, give what you can to those that need it and shut-up about the rest.

We live in a world that death doesn’t matter what age, what race, what religion you live in and we tend to make it worse by saying shit that in the long scheme of things, doesn’t really matter.

I’ve been drinking and this has pissed me off that this forum has resorted to this. It may be an open forum yeah, but doesn’t give us rights to be ass’es.

Later and peace out

I agree with you for the most part but I come here to escape the world problems and hang out with my 3Dfx buddies :)

I also agree on the most part. Why people keep bickering amongst eachother over such small indifferences, ya got me.

This is supposed to be a place where people can indeed escape the every day burdens we face to relax and share our thoughts on common and less common subjects.
And ofcourse above all, to talk about everyone's favorite company: .........1st one to guess, will get a very nice yeaahhh!!! in his PM box. LOL

I hope this gets sorted out and that people that refuse to show respect, whoever they may be, get kicked off, so they don't bother the rest of us who try to have a good time here.

Yeah, didn't mean to go waaaaayyyyyy off on a tangent here, just was irrated at where this part of the boards went. Just much bigger things out there then having the need to put someone else down for what ever card they have or the problems they've had with a certain company. At any rate.... I'll shut up, just had to make a point, or at least was trying to.


So....... back to the problem I'm having in the This and That channel.  

You got a good point....the world is going to hell in a hand cart.but..to tell the truth, when hasn't that been the case?  

Here..try reading this not too good poem of mine I did I while back.  Maybe it will make some sense....


Horizon

Can we save the human race;
Speeding towards a cliff without brakes,
How do we win?  
How many ways can we lose?  
Try to save face; or fall,
But you can't stem the flood,
Can't leave the rails
Of this runaway train,
Rolling over the horizon
Into tomorrow.  

Do we deserve to be saved;
Speeding to nowhere without fear,
I'd like to think so, like to dream
But dreams fade;
Save face, fall from grace
You can't stop the flood,
Can't get off the path,
Beating us down into a rut,
Like all the things we have left behind
Just back over the horizon; yeaterday.

I love reading history because things tend to ebb and flow.. Each generation thought the world was going to hell in a basket since the beginning of time.

..and each generation was right.

Relax, take another beer and everything will be just fine  8) I do the same from time to time ;)

Yep, I've heard all of this before... we are all going to hell, if it existed....

Watch a movie called Zeitgeist...  It's a real eye opener.   :o

No disrespect to Gary but I did get a chuckle out of this response that follows Gary's post...


Peace out my Friends ;)

Hm, did I miss something big recently ?

Apart from a small crunch over at VA I didn't notice anything really bad and nothing absolutely significant (?)

On the other Points, yeah, fully agreed.
The planet is going the same way it did since thousands of years, people being corrupted & polarized & manipulated by government-controlled mass media whereever I look (even starts getting really annoying here in Germany).

I recently saw an Iranian Standup comedian giving a hilarious & brilliant performance.
In his own words :
...you know, people around the whole world are cool, you know? It's politicians that mess it up!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I know I'm going to be pissed myself when the streamlined mass media will reload the long-debunked, official 9/11 conspiracy theory over and over again next week.

Ahh no, somehow this got dragged up from last summer.  :P  After re-reading this..... It's good I don't drink as much.   ;)

lol

Still a good post, apparently can be recycled often *g*

I don't take anything here in the "Twilight Zone" too seriously.

I haven't heard anything about this yet. This is a big election year here in the states and that's all the rage for now. I'm sure it's coming...
