I think you have a healthy outlook on it. Ignore the "end of days" propaganda that's being pounded around, but let's continue to minimize our waste, clean things up, and keep pushing technology growth.

People generally dont tend to grasp the gravity of life until their mid 30's. They're ill-equipped to make a decision like that at such a young age.

You are counting correctly. It's almost as if rhetoric of impending doom is helpful toward swaying public opinion and ultimately moving people to vote a certain way!

Someday, if you guys try very hard to keep an open mind, you might just come to a very important undersyanding: Life is very difficult and there are an infinite number of places we can turn to for help. Family, friends, books, teachers, mentors, and for some......religion. Say what you must about Christianity but, for most, it helps them become a better, kinder, more forgiving, more compassionate person. For most it's a source of strength and it provides a good path for them to try to follow.

And here you are... $hitting all over it with your youthful nativity.

It's not up to you to decide who helped him. The choice is his to make.

I was so confused until the shoulder cannon lol.

I think only @guest possesses the typing stamina to begin filling in their gaps.

Hammerhead is clearly very uninformed, from the foundational principal of the Declaration of Independence to the current state of US politics.

You beat me to it.

It's impossible that the media isn't in on it if you step back and look at the big picture.

I agree. I think most are sincere in their beliefs, they simply don't understand the larger picture or where humanity came from.
