You know what sucks

[LazySmoking420]

When we're born we're born into a system... The united states owns us as a person.

Kinda sad huh?

[Bodom Children Of]

when people whine.

[Bodom Children Of]

It's because there are too many people.

yes, speaking of which, how is the world as a whole going to deal with overpopulation. I'll bet its been a many years before the population as a whole has gone down or even leveled off.

[action.420]

yeah im moving to mars.

[birdgirl73]

What would suck a whole lot more would be being born into Afghanistan. Or the Sudan. Or North Korea. I always want to tell people who feel like our country is out to get them or own them to spend some time traveling so they can see how different things are in other places.

Some places are already over populated. Japan for instance. Go google photos of Japanese subways.

Yikes, f'real, scary.

But I had to fly somewhere last week and every time I get on a plane I look down and am just FLOORED by the suburban sprawl... we have so much space to spread out in... had, that is... maybe it doesn't feel like we are tripping over each other all the time but there are SO MANY of us and looking at places that used to be farmland in very recent years, and all they are popping up is developments and strip malls... it scares the shit outta me. Where the fuck is our food supposed to come from? We are making housing for more PEOPLE and reducing the available space upon which to grow our food...

[TheGreenFog]

F'real. Preach on, Stinky. Preach on. I'm going to the moon. BRB.

our population is rising like an exponential curve, it';s aint gonna stop until an "Earth/Global Disaster" wipes out about 50 million people or more.

It will never stop..

[dusto2k3]

thats what an exponential curve is...increasing at a greater rate as time progresses...until a cataclysmic event

Never been on a Japanese subway but I have been on a Chinese one. Pretty scary. I got packed into a Chinese train one time for an hour and half trip back to Shanghai. It was the middle of summer and it was about 90 degrees outside, warmer in the train. Fortunately, even if you were to pass out from the heat, you wouldn't fall down. You'd just stay packed in, like a cigarette in an unopened pack.

My wife was born and raised in China and the first time she came to the U.S. she was 27. We live in San Jose, CA, the 9th largest city in the country with over a million people. One of her first comments when she got here was was "where is everybody?"

Kinda sad huh?It's a crazy concept. What's crazier is that we all willingly give the government the power to own us.

[TheGreenFog]

brb!

:S2: That's the one I was thinking about. LOLOL

This one is more like... Going to the Colosseum, BRB!

Japan is having really bad population decline problems right now. Not enough people are having babies its going to create some huge problems for them as the current population ages. You might be thinking of China, India, or Indonesia. Those are the countries with the highest populations.

Nature will take over. When theres too many people thats when disease comes.

[stinkyattic]

Time for another round of the bubonic plague.

[rebgirl420]

^^ thats one interesting thing to learn about. I have all sorts of books on diseases like the plauge and small pox...fun to learn about

[stinkyattic]

You're morbid! :D

[rebgirl420]

maybe but its interesting and hell haha

[iStaaHi]

only motherfucka that owns me is motherfuckin ME!!!

[EbelEyes]

Yeah that does suck.

What else I think sucks is my heart is still beating.

[napolitana869]

Reb have you ever read the hot zone?

[rebgirl420]

^^ nope, whats it about?

[napolitana869]

Ebola. I wouldn't be surprised if its the next plague.

[iStaaHi]

Ebola. I wouldn't be surprised if its the next plague.

haha, ebola is not the next one, it alredy happened, its not like birdflu shit

[rebgirl420]

^^ screw the birdflu, we should be worrying about what the government is making in their labs

[napolitana869]

haha, ebola is not the next one, it alredy happened, its not like birdflu shit

what do you mean it already happened? Yes its killed people, but we never found a cure. It spreads so fast that anyone you come in contact with after you are infected becomes infected. Once you have it its pretty much a death sentence. Read the book. Its really good.

Do you think you're mixing it up with e coli? Theres never been a human ebola outbreak in the US

[rebgirl420]

Im a plague and smallpox fan myself :thumbsup:

[rebgirl420]

Yeah I meant that those are my fave to read about and learn about. There just so damn cool.

[napolitana869]

Trust me if you like those you'd love this book. Ebola makes you bleed from every orifice and you throw up your intestines if I recall correctly.

[rebgirl420]

Yeah i've read about it. Man I just find that shit so interesting. I mean people worry about being shot or stabbed, screw that. You should be worrying aboutt he stuff thats smaller then the head of a pin.

[LazySmoking420]

only motherfucka that owns me is motherfuckin ME!!!

Until you break one of the laws, and the man puts you in a cage.

One system better than another system... It's still a system..

The US is far from free...

[BizzleLuvin]

oh no. dont get me started. i feel a rant coming on. i'm moving to Spain....or Canada. or some obscure commune out west

[smoke it]

Reb have you ever read the hot zone?

awesome book.

its gonna be bird flu that will take out most of china.

The United States does not own us as a person.

Yes, there is a certain amount of control that it has and that control is getting more and more powerful. However they do not own us.

The answers to this problem:

Passport. Only 20% of the US population has a passport. If you cant leave the country, yes you are stuck.

Money. With money you can open offshore bank accounts and even buy residency in another country.

Non Attachment. If you have a emotional attachment to being able to shop at Wal Mart and eat at McDonalds, you are already a slave to consumerism.

Individuality. If you are happy staying where you are and doing the same things that you always have done then you are owned. You have to want more.

Balls. It takes major balls to leave the illusion of security that the USA gives.
Try going to a place where they don't speak English, where you know no one.

LazySmoking420: I am sorry you had to deal with all the shit that you created.

However just go through the motions to get out of the system. Then if you don't like it create a battle plan to escape the trap.

You can do it if you want to.

[footpaul]

yes, speaking of which, how is the world as a whole going to deal with overpopulation. I'll bet its been a many years before the population as a whole has gone down or even leveled off.

Cannibalism my friend. Yes Cannibalism.

That's what people say who haven't traveled enough. Which was Birdie's point. In case you're unaware, the system here is a hell of a lot better than the one in the Sudan and North Korea or Afghanistan. If you can find a place without a system, at least you're free to go live there. The people in those others aren't.

[LazySmoking420]

Our system states that Marijuana is a: Schedule 1 controlled substance.
Schedule 1 means highly dangerous and addictive.

[Maui Wowie]

I find this relevant.

[mfqr]

Heh, you say Japan is overpopulated? Take a look at China. Now that's overcrowded...

But yes, it is sad that we're all born into a system, one filled with greed, racism, and overall ignorance. When I say this, I am speaking directly about the U.S. It's just too bad that at this point in time, when technology is growing, and there is growth in population, that we as a people (holistically) cannot grow together, not only spiritually, but in peace. Hopefully some day we will achieve what needs to be done, and I'm not only speaking of the issues involving the legal status of Cannabis.

Looks like we have something in common rebgirl, I've always been interested in diseases too. Things like the origin of disease and why disease would exist in the first place. We try to fight it but when all is said and done we can't. As soon as we come up with some miracle cure, Mother Nature comes up with some bigger and badder disease. Nature has it's own way of handling population control. Just look at STD's. A whole group of diseases that are specifically designed by nature to cut down those who breed too much. God help us if we ever find a cure for AIDS. I don't want to think about what will replace it.

So what do you want? A society with no laws? No system? Total anarchy? That's all fine and dandy until someone breaks into your house and rapes your mother, sister, wife, etc, then decides to fuck you in the ass too just for kicks. Why'd they do it? Why not, they wanted too and there's nothing saying they can't do it. And before you start saying something like "I'd pop a cap in his ass" just remember this: there is always someone who is bigger and badder than you are. ALWAYS!

Sure, a lot of laws are unfair and just plain stupid but they exists, the "system" exists, because it is needed. It is a set of guidelines that help us all get along. And we(humans) are not alone. You want to see a system? Look at a wolf pack, a pride of lines, even many insects. You think "the system" sucks for you? Be glad you're not an ant, unless you're the queen that is. Then you'dhave no choice whatsoever. Your role in "the system" would be determined before you were a pupa. The only escape then would come from a hungry bird or the bottom of a shoe.
