All Humans are idiots.
We want to kill each other.

That's stupid.

'Nuff said.

4. One doesn't have to be an idiot to want to kill another person.
Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 12:50 AM by TomInTib
One will be a survivor, one will no longer be alive.

Sometimes, TYJ, it comes down to survival.

But I am with you. To just reach out and kill...

I am listening to the most beautiful song right now....

on edit:
156. I Love to Tell the Story
Text: Katherine Hankey, 1834-1911
Music: William G. Fischer, 1835-1912
Tune: HANKEY, Meter: 76.76 D with Refrain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I love to tell the story
of unseen things above,
of Jesus and his glory,
of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
because I know 'tis true;
it satisfies my longings
as nothing else can do.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story,
'twill be my theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.

2. I love to tell the story;
more wonderful it seems
than all the golden fancies
of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story,
it did so much for me;
and that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.
(Refrain)

3. I love to tell the story;
'tis pleasant to repeat
what seems, each time I tell it,
more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
for some have never heard
the message of salvation
from God's own holy Word.
(Refrain)

4. I love to tell the story,
for those who know it best
seem hungering and thirsting
to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'twill be the old, old story
that I have loved so long.
(Refrain)

9. I am saying that to reach out and hammer with the studded glove
Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 12:58 AM by TomInTib
just because you woke up hung-over and struck right out and...

Oh, Hell, it's just too late and I am listening to great gut-bucket blues...

No time to pontificate...

Barely time to breathe...

Tom

11. This quote may blow your mind, Clarkie1
Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 01:07 AM by Wonk
"My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain - especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state."

Albert Einstein

8. im thinkin it's a disease
what i have been pondering tonight is the weapons makers. can you imagine being the person who created the bombs with phosphoros to burn the victims at 500 degrees from the inside out? what kind of dimented wierdo would do that. then, who the hell would buy them. then, like you said, humans are friggin idiots.

12. I tend to agree, Tom
I saw a show the other night on gangs in prisons. Oh my. The need to kill runs strong in our veins.

13. Evolutionary process is incomplete.......I hope.
If we are made in God's image, we should look elsewhere.
