Humans. Are They Getting Nicer?

One other thing, you say something you have believed for years? Obviously speaking of christianity right... But, doesn't it say that things will get worse just before the coming of christ? Maybe that is something for another day/thread....

Nope, not speaking of Christianity in this regard. Speaking to the fact that I believe the world is a better place, people are getting nicer, that generally we are good if just given the chance. I believe that the instantaneous and all prevelant global news is the cause of our consternation that the world is worse. We'd never hear about a war half a globe away every evening, or an abduction 200 miles away...today we get blasted with garbage for minutes, hours days, months on end of the injustice around the world and it makes us think that it is commonplace and increasing...when in truth the reporting of it is increasing and commonplace.

I've hitched for untold thousands of miles (litterally tens of thousands), got picked up by hundreds of people in my lifetime...and I have an incredible faith in the goodness of my fellow man...

Great idea!

Ok 17th, behind the woodshed, after school. If I'm not there, start without me.

OK, Enlightenment... Keep an eye out for teachers ;/

I find it nice, that you are able to have this faith and trust in humans... I couldn't bring myself to that... But, nice to see someone has. :)
 
Did you know that according to the Bible, and I am not joking here, that Gawd killed more people than Hitler, Stalin, etc, put together?

He actually killed Lott's mrs, for the crime of 'looking back'....

:eek:
 
He basically was the first to "grow" grape vines for wine... And indeed had spells of drunkeness... Also the first to curse? And responsible for Slavery.... Someone maybe able to back this up or not, but I think that is how it goes...
 
And people want to go to his heaven?

F*** that, I will take my chances in hell with the dirty girls.

:D
