This pisses me off. I can't make the world a better place. We can't make it a better place. We are the very reason it's as bad as it is! Squirrels aren't out there with ponzi schemes. Toads aren't building machines that destroy natural resources. Scorpions aren't committing genocide in the name of a made up God so they can take land from other scorpions. We are the only thing on this planet that does not fit into the systems that exist. I know that kind of statement bothers people because you believe yourselves to be good because your aren't X, but everything you and I do causes suffering. Everything.

No I've recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years. We have the capacity to do better, but don't and that's what makes us so fucking awful.

No one thinks they're a bad person, but bad people exist.

Why? How about focusing on preventing more extinctions instead of some Jurassic Park bullshit.

When you said he was very very successful that's when I knew he was a Nazi sympathizer.

My logic is flawed? I'm not the one doing mental gymnastics to make my point.

Ugh you know what? Forget it. You're not going to change the way you think no matter what I say.

Hello there.

Wow. So if Nazis contributed to a project you like that'd be ok cause that's what I'm reading from your reply...
