What if people brought their PlayStation2's over to prisoners-of-war abroad? Or bored and homeless children in Zaire?

Good luck, we are chimps with nucleur weapons.

I dont know if you guys have heard about the bonobo chimps but they are quite different from other chimpanzees. Their societies are dominated by females and instead of engaging in agression they have a lot of sex - both heterosexual and homosexual sex. I dont think rape is an element of their sexual lives.

Cool question. I wouldn't be able to get through each day without the hope that we'll eventually just fucking think for a second. But do I believe it's ever gonna happen? Not really. Do I want it to? Of course.
I don't know.. I just don't see how humans will ever be able to not fight, not harm... I mean, i'm not saying it's human nature to do these things but it's almost embedded in our psyche from the moment we can talk. We've dug ourselves into one hell of a hole and it'll take something uprecedented to dig us out.

I dont think so. Man is much too curious to be a passive do-gooder from birth to death.
As long as man is curious, and willing to test the limits (which is not something thats frowned upon, really) then there will be conflict. We have a desire to experience things for ourselves, like doing drugs for instance. We all know the negatives with doing drugs, we all know our choice to do drugs may have a negative effect on ourselves or society...but we choose to experience and take the risk.
Just as those who have sex without protection know the risks...
Just as those who fuck their best friends boyfriend know the risks...
Just as those who lie to the faces of those they love know the risks...
Just as those who dare to wear a hair scrunchie in public hopefully know the risks, lol...
Perfection usually requires adding nothing, only taking away. Like when making a sculpture. And like a sculpture to maintain that perfection, you can add nothing.
It would be a very uninteresting, drab existance, imo.

Unless, some time in the future, we find a way to genetically engineer people in such a way that they can only do good and all sorts of nice things.. I think that's the scientific name for it. Then we'd have no choice because we wouldn't be able to do any different. Within a few generations the whole Earth would be a utopia. I don't know if I just used that word in the right context.. I thought about it for a while but got distracted so I forgot to actually decide whether I had or not. How do you use the word utopia or utopian in the right context, anyway!?
Man that would be so cool. I don't even know if I made sense but i'm so high that, like, I made sense to me, you know? Yeah..
