*sigh*

The bad points may surpass the bad to you, but not millions of other good people out there.

Whoever answered YES to the poll mustn't be in full possession of their faculties... because you are essentially saying that my family deserve to die. that the board members here deserve to die. And the billions of other good people in the world deserve to die. Which is ludicrous.

Negative people will always focus on negative things... the cause of humanity will not be helped by people such as these.



dare I ask... what apocolypse war in Israel?

For the most part I agree with you, but what of the cultures that revere nature. The ones that try to live with and respect so to speak "Mother Nature"....Do these people still deserve to die?

I am rendered speechless at the negativism of some people, especially that I see most of them are still so young

(and I absolutely agree with you, Richdog)


*sigh*

That is two for Richdog.

It can be said that living is the struggle and dieing is to surrender.

When one sees all that is deficient with the world the options are to try and do something about it or to surrender to it. The ultimate surrender is to decide nothing is "good" so destroy it all. Afterall, destruction is easier. However, irradicating the source of the all human created problems by irradicating all humans is quite a monsterous undertaking. One that a single person would have slim odds of accomplishing on one's own. Hence wishing for an appocalypse is equivilant to constructing a clever way to excuse yourself from assuming any responsibility for what is happening in the world. After all, if you begin with the idea that the world is too rotten to fix and there is nothing that can be done (at all) then you are free to sit back and not care about what happens and even aid in your own way to the problems. After all, why care about the impact you make if it doesn't matter?

The better choice is to do what you can and lead by example. Every little effort can amount to making a difference. Change may come slow (in terms of human lifespan) but it does come (unless everybody surrenders).

Hyper,This post is a fine contribution and very wise insight and I'm glad you take the time to share
, i agree wholehartedly and am of the philosophy that One person can make a difference for the better often people for whatever reasons do not except there value and contribution to the world at large that we all are integral to the whole system seek to be the difference the way to do that will present itself ( I say we have a mass Self esteem issue and a mass denial issue,and a odd understanding of responsibility) Always seek to be the first domoino , change will come even a small step can have an impact ,I read once if you think nothing small doesn't matter try being in a tent with a mosquito.

No more talk about people shooting themselves. If you are so depressed you want to shoot yourself or others get some help. Open your eyes and take a look beyond your horizons. You might find a beautiful world.
Negative thinking is self-destructive and pointless; a waste of time, which could be used to enact positive forces of change. But remember not every one has the same values. I find that people who want to throw the world into war and hate have very poor values. Sex (other than rape and pedophilia) has nothing to do with whether or not people have good values. Guns do.

I guess some people here have a sub conscious death wish.

For those of you that do google "local sanitarium" and print out the directions to get there.

Since I assume we are disscussing the "Biblical" Apocolyspe, this does not neccessarily mean the end of life on earth, just the end of all the wicked, and nonbelievers, along with the current systems of government, and that cannot be such a bad thing. Plus, seeing a heavenly host of 200 million fire and brimstone spewing dragons devour one-third of the human race would be a memorable spectacle. After all, if you are going to call it an "apocolypse" it should "follow the script" and have the complete Biblical "cast" of creatures and characters.

Would I simply want see the world completely destoyed by a comet, or freak solar flair? Of course not, its two completely different things. In fact, a Biblical-style "apocolypse" may be the only hope our abused world will ever have before the human race destroys everything first, in a non-apocolyptic end of the world.

I don't want it to happen. I don't understand why so many put yes. I'am sure half that put yes just dont give a rats a** and shouldn't had voted and the other half that voted yes just don't care about themselves or anyone else long enough life for that matter. The world does have bad in it,but hey if you can afford to pay a internet bill every month then you've got more than people in middle east and africa does. So life can't be too bad. Those that voted yes just cuz they don't care, go and give all you have to people that don't have anything then you can start caring for real.

Don't get upset Kate but I have to agree with you on this!

Why would I get upset?? Just I don't understand how most people care so little to care whether the world ends now or not...That's all!!

In the past when ever you and I have posted in the same thread it has gotten heated.

Yes but if you have looked at my past months posts then you will see that all has changed. Even me and Faeden has come to enjoying reading each others posts-even though I don't know where he's at and miss talking about stuff with him on the forums here. But yeah I just not letting others judgements and dislikes of me or my beleifs get in my way of just being happy. I still at times may get into a dispute, that's only normal for anyone in these forums to do. But I have changed my perspective of things.

I declined to vote in the poll, simply because I do not believe in the christian concept of the apocolypse.

I have always felt that the doom-and-gloom of the apocolypse was designed to
A - keep the ignorant unwashed in line
and
b - give those that are unhappy with their lives something to look forward to (misery loves company)
and
c - allow the elitests to proclaim that they are 'saved' and look down on the 'unsaved'


good journey

it was stated earlier - though I cannot find what page - that this isn't a religious apocalypse, its just a apocalypse.

throughout recorded history, there have been people screaming that the end of the world is approaching.

A thousand years ago, it was the wrath of god.

Then the spectre of world war three.

Now, we fear collisons with asteroids, and alien invasions.

If you choose to look for the darkness, then it will find you.

Everything dies. Sooner or later, so there is no reason to get gothy and morose claiming the end is near.

Instad, get out and live. Try to make the world a better place than just sitting around whining about it.

good journey

"When faced with certain death, just think how good life has been to you up to this point. If however, life has not been good to you, which is most likely the case if you are in this position, just think how lucky you are that you won't have to live with it much longer" - Douglas Adams (paraphrased)

It was on page 2.

Man fears the darkness, and so he scrapes away at the edges with fire.

Personally, if you are seriously, eagerly awaiting for an apocalypse to wipe out humanity, I would suggest that you see a psychiatrist or get out and enjoy life. But that's already been spoken.

As for those hoping for an Apocalypse to save our planet, I would like to remind you of two things.

One, we are actually, finally starting to figure out how to make progress towards things such as environmental protection, and doing it. Prior to about 200 years ago, people often had no idea how these kinds of things worked. They could probably connect that defecating in the drinking water would make you sick, but they had no idea why.

Two, remember that the planet doesn't care. It survived billions of years before humankind, and if humankind somehow did wipe itself out, it would continue onward, even if diminished.

Really? Then why is the title of this inane poll:

"THE Apocolypse, do you want it to happen?

The use of the article "the" indicates a unique, or singular event.

The OP should learn to be more concise, and articulate.

I don't care whether or not it happens. I just don't want to know about it when it does and I want to feel no pain.

the apocalypse is a unique/singular event.

heh, anyway, yeah as zandore pointed out to me before, the OP said its just THE apocalypse - nothing to do with a religious apocalypse. just a apocalypse. - he said it on page 2.

thanks zandore btw.

No problem

Im cool with the apcolypse, as long as i survive...hehehehhhe.

big mack, that is a disturbing avatar.LOL
i think you have rooted out my deep psycological fear of hamburgers and the possiblity of one with a body, (starts crying, curls into fetal position)

well off to therapy for me

who the heck wants the world to end!!!! i know people are stupid but thats pretty far to go anyways, personally i dont care how immoral people live according to the gospel of whatever religion as long as they treat others decent but even if not all people do its still no reason for zelots to spew fire,vrimstone and death at everyone because they are patting themselves on the back for being holier then thou

Ever wanted to space travel at a rock bottom price? Well in the end, you'll all get the chance (or, if you're too impatient for that, when you die at least).

People may have had sex at a young age back then, but there wasn't as many drug heads and young people who've had over 10 sex partners before the age of 17. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

If you mean the apocolypse as in God bringing it on, hell yeah I want it to happen.

1) I'll love to see all the evil people die(Unless I'm one of'em XD....)
2) I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the eyes on every Atheist go O_O
3) If 2 happens, I'd risk not getting a resurrection(I don't belevie in hell) by saying "In yo' face BEE......YOTCH!!!!"

Yes, I'd love to see that.

it will vbe even better when the real mmoshiach arrives and all the christians and muslims will follow him!

I voted "no" only because my bills are caught up.......next month I my feel differently.

And your proof of that statement is what? I am sure that people back then where just like people now. Their drug might have been wine or opium (the opium poppy is native of that area and even the Ancient Egyptians understood you could get a high from it's tars, I imagine that about the same percentage of the folks back then used "insert mind-altering substance of your choice here" as do the people today. There were probably just as many tarts running around as now, they just had to keep it covered up (no STD to speak of back then, so much easier) and those that accidentially got pregnant could pull a "Mary". I'm sorry but that is probably closer to the truth!
