The "takers" are destroying this earth.

[Just Me]

They are also killing their own.

They have no sense of gratitude, never trust, rarely rest, are never satisfied, have no sense of peace, always seek control, are obsessed with illusions, must assert control, lack the empathy to touch, fill their emptiness with "stuff", can not appreciate the sounds of nature let alone the pulse of another human being, are always WANTING, perceive laws as inconveniences, have no respect the ideal of democracy, are unmoved by any human suffering, view life as a "game", are without sense of their own humanity.

The "takers" are destroying this earth and killing their own,....and they are in charge.

Makes me wish, I was never born into this anti-life, anti-humanity, anti-empathetic, anti-equality, anti-democracy/justice/peace created by none other than,...ugly human "takers". My poor son. He will have to, already has, sort his way through this human tragedy that NEVER had to be. To think ,...I could have saved him from all this but for my own selfish wanting. I was never supposed to be able to conceive. I received the bitter-sweet "miracle" of being a mother: sweet that it happened, bitter with reality biting at his future.

The "takers" are destroying this earth and killing their own,...and they are in charge.

They are incapable of stepping into another wo/man's shoes and always demand more than they deserve. They are merely human beings,...how much more do they truly deserve than any other human being,...honestly? Do these "takers" contribute to the lot of humanity in such a way that they somehow deserve MORE than the rest of us? Hardly, because they are "takers",...taking more than they need, more than they deserve, more than life.

The "takers" are destroying this earth and killing their own,...and they are in charge.

God help them.

1. They're not taking, they're giving us less to choose from. - n/t

2. "Grabbers, parasites, capitalist exploitation", various names used

...to describes the "takers" in previous times. The victims are the working class people, the producers, those with skills, knowledge and abilities but little or no real power against the takers.

First of May 2003:

DIRECT ACTIONS AGAINST THE CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION AND WARS!


When this is written, Uncle Sam is installing a puppet regime in Iraq. The victims in this war have been, and are, ordinary people that have been suffering wars, sanctions and a brutal Iraqi dictatorship. The United States has a supreme military machine, but the hegemonic power of capitalism is vulnerable economically. It’s fighting on many fronts, and there are because of this more desperate capitalist wars to come.

The economic problems became visible in the aftermath of the economical boom in the 90s. This boom grew from new technology that facilitated faceless, speculative stock, bond and currency traders sitting behind computer screens moving money to the parts and fields of the globe. The multinational corporations spread their factories around the world, constantly shifting them to the most efficient, low cost producers. The United States became the global economy’s buyer, soaking up the goods from factories as in Indonesia, Brazil, South Korea and China, besides their deliveries from Germany and Japan.

One important part of the economical foundation of the US hegemony lies in this management of the finance capital, not in the mercantile production. It relies on the world’s financial centres, transnational corporations, rating agencies, auditing, accounting and consulting firms, and, politically on the United States special relationship with the United Kingdom. Most major credits must be granted with reference to US- and UK-
based rating agencies. The auditing firms are indispensable in the evaluation of assets in the case of major mergers or large-scale privatisation.

Another part of the economical hegemony is the US position as the most powerful member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and as a powerful centre of alliances within the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Great Britain has an important role also in this by preventing the European Union (EU) from bringing its full weight to bear against US positions. <more>

5. I like the Lakota name, "fat takers," meaning

they'd come in and slaughter game, take the fat and the best cuts of meat, and leave the rest of a useful animal to rot, ending a life while dishonoring it by not making use of all it had to give in death.

It's the philosophy that drives the whole machine.

9. Yes, that is a very good descriptive term of the big business corporate

...philosophy

3. It seems "givers" are always those who

have little themselves. Perhaps its because they understand the pain and suffering of not having anything, and, want care about saving another from that fate? People who give a lot of money to something are always praised but its not how much you give but how much of what you have that makes you a true "giver". A wealthy person can give 100,000 dollars away and it may only be 1% of what they have, another say a poor person may give 1.00 dollar which is all they have left. Who is the true giver here? I don't need to say, it should be obvious. I don't believe in Capitalism, its a system of dog eat dog and it feeds on itself, produces more failure than success and must be continuously fed to survive, and, will de-vower all of us. "takers" are those who control and use the system for greater wealth and power, in turn, corrupting themselves and those around them until the stench is unbearable and you want to escape the smell, but, everywhere you go it is still there, until you scream obscenities and look for solitude and Peace.

4. they can 'take' all that

but they can't take anything from me
because all I have that is of any value
can't be touched

[ladjf]

7. They can take privacy, food, water, environment, shelter and

lots of other things from you. Those things are necessary for you to survive.

6. Our human race, (homo sapient) has been on Earth for less than

400,000 years. If we go extinct within 1,000 years, (quite probable) we will go down in Earth's history as the species with the shortest tenure on Earth. That would also establish us as the stupidest species ever to have lived on Earth.

Humans have egotistically give themselves credit for being able to dominate the planet. In reality, their apparent success was due to reasons other than intellect. Currently, millions of jelly fish are beginning to dominate marine life in certain parts of the Pacific Ocean. That is not because jelly fish have made brilliant moves. Species come and go, rising when conditions are favorable, fading out when they are not.

8. I wish there would be something anything

to take the takers OUT of this world forever,take them away,take them down. take them to death.Before they destroy everything.But sadly people suck the taker ass and do not want to think they are being taken.
