I wonder how can people be against something so humane and intelligent.

@Chainreaction666 @Blankname101 "I feel like it's withdraw" "People too weak.."

The weakness in people that can be commonly referred to as apathy may very well be a manifestation of our culture and current paradigm. I have felt helplessness too.

But we all must realize that when we call someone "wanker" or we decide we Hate someone, the wanker/hate is a manifestation of a soon-2-be outdated socio-economic paradigm. They are a victim that propagates the system. Don't condemn them, help them.

@Blankname101's 'I feel it's like withdraw'...

~ Well, you basically hit the nail on the head. One word: weakness. The weakness of the personalities of the majority of people. I'm sad to say I'm slowly giving up on worldwide Occupys or living without a ruling elite simply because the vast majority of people are wankers. People too weak to not waste their lives by bringing misery to all around over pettiness, ego, narcissism etc etc. A simple decision seems impossible to most.

@ChainReaction666 I feel it's like withdraw.Think about it this way smoking is bad,but if someone tries to quit they feel discomfort and start wanting to feel the comfort again so they start smoking again.You can ether try to quit take the discomfort for a while and then feel a lot better then you were before or just stay with the problem while feeling some comfort.Other then that I agree with you I really don't get it.

@Diablo99V's 'I wonder how can people be against something so humane and intelligent.'

~ I know! Right!?! It's a worry, how many sick and twisted people there are, choosing to be part of the problem, rather than the solution. Choosing to put effort into craping on things and people who actually are doing at least something rather than doing whatever they think will improve the world them selves.

I hope, after the change, they all get named and shamed.

@Diablo99V Its because they are so used to lies, they have lost hope... But the more they listen the more they learn and support.

I honestly consider peter joseph as the most intelligent guy i have ever watched, based on an intuition I can't verbalize... I just feel his excellence.

[Kumrockme]

@Xaphirezst Hey friend, Peter's done plenty of podcast on blogtalk radio which you can listen to if you want more information...and of course the Zeitgeist films.

@Diablo99V Because we thrive on self pity and if everything is peachy we would not have anyone to blame including ourselves and that would defeat the purpose of pitying the self. There is no other reason why people would argue with simple logic.
