Marion, do you have rocks in your head? Seriously.
Marion: “You’re just here to observe??” Dave do you know how weird that sounds? You sound like a freakin’ lunatic. Considering Silo’s post, I would agree that it’s a loathing of humanity, but also, and most importantly, born out of a loathing of oneself. Are you aware that if you’re not pro-human, you can’t be pro-Dave?
Weird? Lunatic? I prefer “eccentric” but use whatever adjective makes you feel better about yourself. That you think I’m a lunatic is actually comforting. I’d probably shoot myself in the head if I discovered my thinking resembled yours on anything meaningful. Self loathing of oneself? You cannot be serious. Ok, fess up, Marion. Did this come from Oprah or one of your self-help books? Your attempts at psychoanalysis are pitiful and obvious. If I’m not pro-human, I can’t be pro-Dave? What? You’re… just… uggh… Look, I hate the Yankees but like Mariano Rivera. I can root for the Yankees demise and still root for Rivera’s success. They’re not mutually exclusive. Catch the analogy? There are plenty of “critical thinking” classes that are available at the community college level.
Marion: I would say that any destruction of the planet has more to do with the industrialization of the planet, than the fact that human beings inhabit the planet. That can be contributed to the greed and outlook of SOME of us humans that inhabit it. We don’t need space shuttles, cars, guns, plastic bags, nuclear weapons, aresol sprays, etc that deplete our earth of its natural resources and f*ck up our ecosystem. …We don’t need all these toys. The best things in life are natural and free. A roof over our head to raise our children and to make love and make more children if we want, enriched soil to grow our own food, unpoluted water to drink, bathe and wash clothes. We don’t have to kill and eat animals if we don’t want to… Thus the destruction of the planet comes not from the fact that we are here, it’s how we behave while we are here.
First of all, it’s not “contributed,” but rather “attributed.” Having said that…
I agree with your last sentence because it’s stating the obvious. Here are my questions to you, Marion, since you’re obviously a dedicated environmentalist: We don’t need cars, huh? Ok. Do you drive a car? We don’t need plastic bags, huh? Do you use plastic bags? We don’t need toys, huh? Do you have anything that would be considered a toy? All we need is a roof over our head and clean water and soil for food, huh? That sounds awesome, Marion. If you truly believe all of this stuff, then you should be living out in Ted Kaczynski’s shack. It’s available and it’s perfect for your professed beliefs. But, you see, that’s all BS. Because you drive a car, use plastic bags, have toys and live in the suburbs, with all that implies. Why? Because you don’t have any intention of giving up the conveniences of modern life to live the life that you described above. You’re a complete hypocrite. All hat and no cattle. Hell, Marion, you’re so full of crap that if you gave yourself an enema, what’s left would fit inside a match box.
Regarding my comments on two parent vs. one parent households, you said, “If you feel this way, I feel sorry for you.” Earth to Marion. I was just reporting what I’ve read on the subject. There’s no opinion on my part on that subject. I don’t “feel” any way on the issue. I thought that was obvious, but I should have made that clearer for folks like you that are a little slow on the uptake.
[As to your procreation comments… it’s too philosophical and would confuse you. Believe whatever you want. Frankly, I don’t have the time or the patience.]
It’s a gorgeous day. Even by San Diego standards. So I’m off to the beach… but not until after I’ve engaged in some self loathing. Anyone know where I can buy some of those cat-o-nine-tails for some self-flagellation? Bwahahahaha…
