im a hermit...this now concludes my social activity for the day

democracy got off on the wrong foot, when it began forcing people to participate

[djdnauk1977]

voluntary democracy is ok, majority rule by force(current democracy) is oppressive & immoral though, as it gives governments a monopoly & the right to use violence against peaceful people... which in a free society NO ONE would have the right to do.

[MonTicheDansTaMere]

democracy = demon-crappy and everybody signed for it

He starts screwing the pooch when he says that people are = in the sight of God should not be applied to everyone because it really means that people are in their positions because that's what God wants.

@l3054 nobody commits to something that is pointless to their self.

[l3054]

@nerdyharry if people werent so weak willed and ignorant we could all live our own lives but they not only do what you say but theyre also usually the kind of people who make up a whole bunch of pointless drama

After I was enlightened I was attracted to a lot of material by Alan Watts. He gives a detailed perspective to share with people you want to help see "The Big Picture". I hope in the coming age that education will teach equally to both sides of the brain instead of the current left brain indoctrination regime. I disagree with his judgment of rugged individuals, we would not have our "greats" recorded in history if this were true in "absolute". everything else he states is pure Yang :)

"Now, why is there this problem? There's always a very inconsiderable minority of these non-joiners or people that check out of the game but you will find that insecure societies are the most intolerant of those that are non-joiners."
