What is a religion? Karl Marx once called it the drug for the poor. What is it really? Is it real? Could it be possible that all the beliefs within all these religions truly do exist and are true? That somehow the things they have in common make them alike and factual information? Or do they all exist within reality as individuals? Or as Karl Marx believed, are they dream used to comfort people who fear their own death, people who fear the inevitable, people that just don?t want the picture the blank nothingness known as death? A lot of people may call me racist, a bigot, or discriminative, but I?m going to actually pick on a couple of sets of religions here.
In most cases for me, it doesn?t matter to me what others believe when it comes to their ?religion? (When all a religion is in the first place is a set of beliefs. Example: Thadd believes that Strawberry ice cream tastes bad with Coke, while Vanilla ice cream is great with Coke! It?s an opinion brought to life.) as long as they don?t try to force me to join them, or turn out too hypocritical.
The people that attempt to convert me are the worst of them all if you ask me. As far as I know it is only the Jehovah witness group that actually make an attempt to convert you. (If there are others, I pity anyone else that has had a group of people from that religion comes to their door at 7:00am on Saturday morning.) Really, if someone believed, and wanted to join, they would. Jehovah witness has knocked at my door on Saturday morning, knocked on my door in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, confront me on the street during the day and night time. (Were talking late?past 10pm they go around walking on the street) They even follow you into the malls and your favorite restaurants! I?m sorry, but the sex trade is starting to sound better than this right now. (Being Sarcastic) Ill say it again, if I really did believe, or I wanted to believe, or wanted to but needed help believing, I would come without being harassed. I find the in person advertising makes it seem TOO desperate.
Now we will deal with the second issue, I find that people of Christian religion, to be very hypocritical.
Example #1:
Kid: Dad are we a religious family?
Father: Damn it son! Don?t you see I?m busy watching Bay-watch!? Ah?Pam?now only if your mother had a set of hooters like those.
Kid: Dad do we believe in God?
Father: What kind of crazy talk is that? Of course we believe in him! We are here aren?t we? Damn son when I was your age, if I ever said anything like that id get beat behind the wood shed! Say anything stupid like that again and I?m gonna break my hand over your bare ass! Hey son! Bye the way! Would you grab Daddy a beer?
*Child goes off to play somewhere*
Father: Fuck! And these are the kids that will take care of me when I get older? Damn! These kids get dumber as I get older! In my Day if I said these things father would have beat me for hours! Then I?d go to my Church school and get beat by them too!
Ok, this is a very common issue, there is too much hypocrisy here.
1. Father uses language that isn?t accepted by the bible.
2. Church, Christian schools, and other religious outlets years ago would beat children for being wrong, disrespectful, etc? There were several techniques of punishing the child such as whips on the bum, strap on the hand, being hit with blunt objects such as bats, sticks, poles, the list goes on. Even when women and men were accused of witchcraft they were executed, and the Churches encouraged it. (Sorry, I don?t remember if Protestant or Catholic was in power in England at the time.) By these religions it is believed that not only can ANYONE change, but also one can be forgiven for any sinful act.
This is not the only instance in which things like these are known to happen. There are actually civilized families that punish their children with violence, or that just swear, or both, or neither. I am NOT saying that swearing and violence IS WRONG. (Violence against your children is wrong.) What I am getting at is the fact that people from various religions speak so much good of their ?good book?, they claim to stand up for it, and defend it to their own death at times also, but they don?t ?practice what they preach.? I think that is where they got that phrase. People many years ago realized this flaw within everyone?s religion; that nobody follows the rules of their own beliefs! That means they don?t believe in what they think they believe in!
Today I was in an elementary school doing volunteer work for one of the teachers. I was marking tests out in the hallway when this girl went running down the hallway crying. She went and sat on this bench in tears. Minutes latter this other girl with a satisfied look on her face walked out with a teacher that had a face of discontentment. Teacher starts speaking to student that seemed happy about how the student always claims to be a Christian, how the student always claims to believe in God, and how the student always claims to defend her beliefs. Wow? now lets think about this? What really has probably happened here is the girl?s parents take her to Sunday school every week where she is told about things she doesn?t believe in. The parents know it, but they don?t want to believe it, so they keep having their grade 6 daughter come to church with them every week. This is WRONG! But who is wrong here? You have the little girl who is a violent Christian, and you have the parents that try to manipulate the minds of their own children!
Even an atheist has beliefs! They believe that there is not a God! Religion is everywhere! EVERYONE is religious! Because everyone believes in something! The differences that make some beliefs better than others are the beliefs that are proven right or wrong. (Unless your are not serious about your own beliefs and you live in a fantasy world?in that case ill give you a number to a very qualified shrink if you want it.)Example: some hockey fans believe in their own team so blindly that they truly believe that their team is going to win the Stanley Cup. Now only one team can win, so eventually somewhere down the road one fan?s beliefs about hockey is going to be proved better, or stronger than another?s. This is a very simple example, when you take Buddhism, Christianity, or Judaism, or any other ?bible based religion? there is just too much controversy to say who is right. Even is Judaism, or Buddhism were proved right, Christianity is still just as valid of belief because Christianity had not been proven wrong yet. (Except when the Catholic churches wouldn?t believe in science, so they locked up all the scientists that proved religion wrong.) Amazing isn?t it? Christianity is made for the transcendence of mankind, for the betterment of mankind?but instead at times it holds us back at times. This is one reason why ?bible based religions? have no power in our society in our world today. (Except for the fact that ?God? is phrased several times in our own Constitutional laws, the laws that outline our own nation, the laws that outline who a Canadian is. (Don?t feel so good Americans, its in your own constitution?or legislature?what ever you have over there.) People of other ?bible based religions? must be great people to move into our Christianized Canadian society and put up with us. Wait a minute! Aren?t there wars on religions on the streets and in the churches all the time? Wow! They fight with violence to protect their non-violent nature! How do they do it? It?s all propaganda! Just like a political party, one always says that they are better, they say what is so great about them, but never what is so vile.
I am led to believe that religions were created by people with very strong beliefs, people that were very opinionated and refused to believe anything that came out of their own mouth. People like these are the same people like the scientists that come up with theories that we have not the technology yet to prove them right or wrong.
Just to mess all your heads up I?ll pop this in your heads. God was evil, and God made Satan evil. He controlled Satan, and led Satan around to do whatever God wanted to do, and even to this day God supposedly does the same thing! It was God that supposedly gave us many of our mental gifts we take for granted today through the actions of Satan! So who should we be thanking? (No I am not telling you to worship Satan?makes you wonder if that is why people do so?or if they do just for attention.)
But one question, what does it matter what made us? If it was an accident in a matrix of silence, or a powerful being billions on earth call God, what does it matter? Why celebrate it? If it wanted to be celebrated then there would certainly be a sign of such a thing. And if it did want to be celebrated, that would be quite self-centered. And that would make the being that made us imperfect?what is the purpose of celebrating imperfection?
I have never met 1 human that does not judge people.. not one. Sure there are some really nice people out there, here in vancouver (some but not many) on the net, or anywhere else ive been. But we are all judgemental. I had an argument with myself today (dont worry im not going nuts) over if i am judgemental... well what do we call judgemental? Is it to simply judge someone before they have a chance to even attempt to make an impression? (Expression me from word of mouth, celebreties, athletes. Like really here in Canada, we think we are the nicest people in the world because it seems many other countries think we are all nice poeple... well this is the worlds worst kept secret. We are pretty much jerks. Houses cost lots. We call this a land of freedom but we see people forking out half a million dollars to move to our country. We have twice as many governemnt scandals but our citizens are too dumb and stupid to complain or think anything of it. They are too busy thinking about other people.
Tonite as i was enjoying my walk in the rain (with friend gabe) we were talking about how Judgemental we are.. just think, you can be the nicest person.. but if you see someone wearing pure black clothing with really pale white skin, you get a personality picture in our head. Now if you never meet this person, this person (in the circumstance here of what they appearence is) will be very appealing to you, or someone you think you wont be able to stand. If you spend the time to meet them, and come in thinking negitvie things, that is going to do nothing but bad. If they were an ok person, then your impression isnt going to be as strong for as how good of a person they are... if they turned out to be a great person you are leaving yourself totally vundrable. You will put much more trust into them then you could have because you inside feel bad and that you owe them for misjudging them. If you go in with good thoughts, well then they can spill the milk and keep you smiling, just another advantage of for them... if they end up being a good person in your book you have a great friendship, if they turn out bad, then in many cases you will see other people with simular appearence, and get a negitive and untrustworthy feeling. So it ruins the chance for other people.. this is all judging.
We are judged when we are born, when we die, and the whole time in the middle.. i could say i am a very misjudged person, but it seems we all are. The only way that we could prevent this is to not think about your own interests in anything, basicly you would have to be as braindead as a vegtable. So i feel its a hopeless cause.
Is Thadd too smart for his own good?
As of late, I have been receiving many comments on my intelligence. I usually find it quite flattering, sometimes I accept it, but usually in my head I really question things like these. Recently I have been in situations over the Internet in which I have had the opportunity to aid someone with my opinion. One thing that is certain, sometimes people find my opinion useful, and at other times it may seem useless. I myself feel more than comfortable releasing my opinion at will, I actually enjoy it, but I am sure you have already realized that. I am someone whom is loyal to companions, so I enjoy helping their troubles. That?s why you wouldn?t find me having a friend that isn?t extremely open-minded and free willing.
I actually find it quite fascinating how I can directly and instantaneously relate to almost every situation. Someone having a break up, someone meeting someone and not knowing if they can trust them, there are many scenarios, which take place. But there is one subject I cannot say I am even decent in talking or relating to. Death. The one thing that no matter where you go, it doesn?t follow you, it was already there. I can totally understand death, I now have my own belief of what happens when you die, I have seen people die in front of me, and I have had family members die. But I still cannot comfort someone in pain from the loss of a significant other. Of course you can say that usual ?I am sorry for your great loss?, but well, if I was upset from the death of my cat or best friend? how would that help me? If I were sharing my pain with you, that would automatically tell you that I would realize how you felt on the situation. But usually when you are sharing pain, for yourself, you come for comfort.
When I?m thirty years old, and my wife has come to me for comfort because of the recent loss of her father, I can?t give some B-S statement like the ?I?m sorry for the great loss?. How on earth could that make the situation any better? And I wouldn?t blame anyone for wanting to give me capitol punishment if I were foolish enough to tell her to ?forget the past?. I cannot say anything in the manner of forget the past in any situation, for I am one whom reflects quite often. People don?t always cry out just to have someone to listen to them, sometimes solutions are wanted. As impossible to come bye as they seem at times. So what do I tell her? He was a great guy and he wouldn?t want to see her all upset about him going? That he is gone to a better place? What if she is an atheist?
This is the problem with words, moments like these cannot be helped or dealt with in words. We limit ourselves to words, there are infinite ways to communicate with someone. Believe it or not, words may be the most limited way or expressing yourself to someone. But at the same time, we think the opposite. Face it, this is the 90?s with 2000 coming around the corner its just going to get more demanding for people to express their emotions. And myself think it is the best thing that could ever happen to mankind! But look at how we are now beginning to limit ourselves.
Right now I am also beginning to realize another fault in myself, which I was reminded of the other day ago by my English 12 teacher, Mrs. Mulder. I have a hard time staying to one topic when writing?it is hard to know exactly what I am criticizing here, well ill warn you here, everything I write here I am criticizing.
My Mother has always encouraged my brother and I to be what we want to be, it really doesn?t work for me, being 18 and having no idea what I really want for a future occupation. My brother though, is a different case. Every year, birthdays and Christmases, my brother has found a way to express him, and give joy to others. One trade my brother has taken much interest in over the past couple of years is woodwork and metal work, and well, he is great at it. He makes Christmas and Birthday presents for everyone I can think of. And he is great at it too! Really society looks at this as my brother being a redneck, wanting to work with tools, carve things, welding metal. But when you look at it, all he is doing is the opposite! He is expressing himself! I have never met a redneck or hick that has EVER been willing to express their feelings verbally. But in other ways like these, could they be inadvertently showing the inside of their heart? I am almost positive that if you ask one they would be in complete denial, they would most likely give you some savagely primitive remark like ?what kind of gay question is that??.
And well, if you know me well, you would realize how I react to homosexual bashing remarks. So we will leave it at that.
Well today was a wierd day, i sat around reading history homework, emailing and talking on the net till about 4pm. After that i started watching hockey. I had no plans for this day, just wanted to kick back, relax, and enjoy the sights of the rain out the window, its been raining nonstop for 5 days now. 6pm had came and, well i had decided i had been mr lazy enough for the day. I call up my friend Gabe and find out that he is realizing that he is going to the movie "Fight Club" in 5 mintues, invites me, i would like to come and do. Ok first you must realize that there is been only 1 Brad Pit Movie that i have every liked, being "Interview with the vampire", Which is one of my all time favorite movies. And well, Fight Club was to me, a stunning masterpiece. It seems to me that Brad Pit is a strange actor... it seems that each movie he makes attracts a totally different crowd, unlike someone like Harrison ford who sticks to adventure, and Jackie Chan, who sticks to fighting. Every Brad Pit movie is enjoyed by some group, and once in a while he gets lucky and everyone likes him. Now what made this a stunning masterpiece? Well the acting was above average, not great, but good. The fight scenes were ok, graphic, but not too gory, fair amount of blood spilled. There wasnt even any special effects, the music was ok, good for the mood but they were not playing some sound track to sucker in all of my age group. What really made this one stick out, was the script, the plot and the whole dam storyline! You must see this movie... my friend Gabe and I actually had to discuss the movie afterwards for about 2 hours to come to a definate conclusion about what it is about. And well, i dont mean it in a way like on the movie Ronin, i mean it in a way that you dont know who is real. There are two characters, and one of them is a figment of the others imagination... so i dont ruin the ending for you... at the end of the movie, the one that you think is not real, is really dreaming the man you think is real. I congradulate you if had already figured this out, because what happened is certain scenes made no sense to me, so what happened is i thought... and thought and thought and thought... then this theory poped... then you know when you suddenly forget something.. like you are going to say something.. when you get the chance to you forget?? Well i fogot the same thing 3 times!!! I was almost ready to pop my head in a vise after forgeting it for the third time.. but it came back to me and stayed. This is a great movie, and i really do recomend it... im not saything this because ign64.com's movie site gave it 10/10 .. and i didnt even look at the paper of siskel or ebert (which ever is alive) gave it a thumb up... I though, give it 2 thumbs up! lol
Title: I care
Today in baseball there is only one thing that keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. Statistics. Of course you already knew that, I being a baseball fan could never explain my endless love for the beauty of statistics. Those numbers, those long numbers. So many numbers... And then you get decimals! You of all people would have already known this, because absolutely no one could ignore the mood of pure bliss that statistics bring to the game of baseball. But how do they do it? How do those numbers instantaneously light up every blood cell in your body? Are they just numbers, dots and percentage signs to us? Or do they have a much larger spot in our hearts?
Well if I ever sink so low to join the vast amount of the ACPA, (American couch potato association) please by all means put my out of my misery and end my useless existence. Canadian scientists not yet exposed to statistical side of baseball, have been observing die-hard baseball fans for the last ten years. Some very interesting observations were discovered in this process, the first three being that not only did the fans have a beer in their left hand and pork rinds in the right at all times, but the brain itself has become a vestigial organ, being replaced by Hostess Twinkies. One thing that very few people realize is that there is a secret connection between Hostess and Major League Baseball, however, I am willing to reveal the secret, which none of the thousands of Canadian scientists, working around the clock could discover. I have found conclusive evidence of how this whole mismatched puzzle of addiction to viewing boring numbers, junk food, and baseball all come together.
The last time I checked, the FBI was looking into this statement. I myself have not been given feedback, but of course I am fully confident in the results being in my favor. Inside the creamy filling of the treacherous Twinkie, there is a chemical agent, which alters priorities of the consumer?s mind, rendering the victim into a state similar to intoxication. When there are no more Twinkies left, the victim is compelled to consume the next two most disgusting edible foods in reach?Being beer and pork rinds. While this happens, the combination of Twinkies, beer and pork rinds create a gas not known to the world, and recently discovered by me. This gas, when released and exposed within four miles of a human causes such symptoms as extreme blurred vision, and urge to eat stale nachos and fake cheese from a can. Through all of this commotion, the helpless victim is not trying to observe the baseball game, but simply attempting to regain his/her vision.
Through this entire process, many multi-billion dollar corporations take advantage of the vulnerability of the victim. Hostess, Pepsi, Coke, there are countless other which are all together in ?cahoots? to rob the brain-dead people of the contents of their wallets. So in reality, nobody cares if ?Joe Shmuck? is one for thirteen when the bases are loaded, in the bottom of the forth inning, on games that Joe had forgotten his jock strap. Nobody cares if every twenty-three games, 12/17 of the Yankees go 0-6. And believe it or not nobody cares if David Cone has the best post season game average in the World Series.
So if you are one of those die hard baseball fans, you must ask yourself these questions. What is in your left hand? What did your children eat for an after-school snack today? And why do you even care about statistics?
Ok today im talking about creativity.. it is one thing that makes us all diffrent, and thats if we choose to be diffrent, which some of us do not want to be diffrent, some feel safer by catigorizeing themselves and being almost exactly the same as others, becoming there own sterotypes. Well today i am going to brush over stuff like this, what kills the creativity. Tonite something happened that happens quite often.. i had nothing to do whatsoever, so i turned on the tv, and WCW wrestling was on... hearing the same lines each wrestler says ever night it just occured to me. Im going to use my school enviroment for my primary example, because well im too lazy to think about somthing else, the school in this case is so simple. These wrestlers i believe are more than idolized by some people, i truely believe that some people think that its easy living the life of a sports entertainer, they also think its easy getting to the WWF or WCW, or even ECW. Well really its not. (That may be another opinion latter, but thats gonna take WAYYY too long to put in here) Well at school, you now hear poeple saying the exact lines to others that you hear on Wrestling, "Your ass is grass and im going to smoke it", "suck it", and "if ya smell what im cookin" are just a few over marketed phrases that i hear numerous times by numerous poeple every day at school. Well this is one area that i see people becoming "carbon copies" they are not using the brain they are blessed with, anyone can come up with one of those witty lines, all they have to do is give it a little thought, hey i sometimes send little joke emails, you who recieve them will know if you are them. I even once in a while come up with my own line, and i freely admit that i sometimes acidently copy people subconsciencely. And sometimes i steal phrases because well, they are just great phrases. But "suck it" really did not take a lot of thought, im sure who ever thought it up turned on a porno flick 12 seconds latter heard "suck it" and said.. thats it! Ill invent that line! Hey this pig here on the tv has already said it, but how many poeple know that? Im a genius! Then the great markenting scam that has actually made the WWF three times more money than "Stone Cold Steve Austin" known as "Degeneration X.. or simply DX" was made, the WWF claims that Austin has sold just as much for the fact that right now DX is weak and crippled, and Austin is strong... and the main star in the WWF like really they cant go admiting that there main star isnt selling as much as some broken down group. Because then DX would have to get more Mic time, more TV time, more attention, and problably the heavy wieght belt.. which might happen.. anyhow im babbleing. By watching these athletes or actors say award winning quotes, and coppying them, we are doing nothing more than destroying there own creativity... creativity is like a muscle, the most you practice it the stronger it gets. A child seems to be very creative because it doesnt know the limits of physics. I believe myself that i have lost some of my creativity due to the TV, but really i as of late have been putting it thru stressfull pressure, not just for writing poetry, songs, talking to people, but also planning things, wardrobe, you DONT have to wear a red tank top because "joe cool" does either.. that what tommy hilfiger and celvin clien want you to do, but who are they anyway? A couple of companies that encourage poeple to become anorexic so the people look more sexual attractive on there adds? You know 100 hundred years ago people didnt have the beautyfull hair we have today... you hear the comericals say "for HEALTHY hair" well its already dead!!! the only thing thats alive is the rute.. i think.. im no biologist. But i know the hair showing is already dead. I know some people who have nice hair.. and u know what they use?? Tide! they have nice soft hair.. ive seen poeple with nice hair that use dish washer liquid, detergent, baking powder...theres so many things. All this "look good" marketing is such a scam these days.. and the media has told us it too many times on purpose diliberatly so that we would get bored of listening to it not pay attention.. you see Homer is wrong when he says tv is good.. the same with Radio, anything marketable does us no good, "it is one thing to inspire, but another thing to mimic."
Ok now today is something that poped into my head yesterday... and before i say any of this..i wan you to not think of economics...pretend that well hmmz.. lets just say that there was no international businesses..casue thats what really screwes me up here. After thinking about my little thing on world peace, i then said to myself "well theres gotta be a way that it could do us some good" so sit back and read this... please do not question ANYTHING untill youve read the whole thing. Ok here it goes. Once upon a time all the countries decided to sever all contact not before killing all trade treaties with all countries (well lets say that canada and United states joined to 1 country cause the us would take us over for our water if this was gonna happen). ok and all countries also signed aliance treaties so the whole world was 1 team. So now all the countries were at peace with each other and while living on the planet earth decided that they would never talk to each other again and never ever do anything to each other while on earth. Now all these countries going to be VERY compeditive in technology becasue they are going to assume that countries like Japan, Canada, and United states are trying to get the best technology always.. and not worring about war..they wont be spending near as much on weapons (will the americans still will cause its in there nature). The united nations wont be in everyone's face, so countries will be able to settle domestic desputes by themselves. (which in some cases would be bad and others good) After ten years some countries have died off from starvation (africia) and really the only countries that are left are the strong. I could still see Beautyful russia having rebelion problems. They would till they turned faciest or 100% democratic. And the countries like Untited states, canada, and japan...who spend billion on weopons, and helping other countries.. will have more money to spend on themselves..hey if this happened it may elimanate currency. Well anyway you get the picture.. the strong countries will become stronger, more advanced, more healthy. So your someone living in some third world country like india.. ok and you on satalitte see some spaceship in space flying around... and if you dont have that technology your going to speed up your progress rate..the only bad thing is that you must make sacrifices for things that these.. so its going to end up with the people suffering, even worse living conditions. Then eventually that country may kill its self off.. basicly most 1st and 2nd world nations would do so much good from this. But all others would suffer. All countries would be totally compeditive.. then maybe one day they would meet again.. so say one country has a cure of a bunch of desieses, another has some miracle crop solutaion that lets you grow wheat anywhere. Someone else will make spaceships that go the speed of light or faster, another country finds a ways to make us imortal (scary) so when they all work together, the human race...with some society changes just may be perfect... but then again when they meet they will hardly know each other.. it will be like the klingons and humans meeting each other. (but even they worked there kinks out in deep space 9)
Is world peace our ultimate goal or our worst enemy? Now that first sentence must sound ludicrous to you, because for the past half a century there have been constant cries for world peace, but really? would it be all it was cracked out to be? I don?t know how this idea came into my head but I was just sitting down emailing people and it popped into my head. Did you think that world peace would have large downsides to it? I could point out a few right here having not even spent much time thinking about it. Today we are constantly evolving in technology, learning how to get more out of everything, computers, oil, food, to name a few. But when you think of it, when the United States of America finds a new technique to increase the quality of there crops (being the worlds #1 provider in grain), do they do it to help someone? Or for the betterment of there own country? Ok lets use USA again and say they developed some technology that a country like Cuba could use, and ever since Cuba went red these two countries haven?t been too happy with each other. So are the Americans going to give more power to Cuba if they had the chance? I really don?t think so, another thing, who else has B-2 spirits right now? You know those big 1 billion-dollar bombers? Who else has them? To my knowledge nobody and it will happen with the F-22a fighter jet that is coming to the USA airforce roster around the year 2002 I think. (I?m not 100% on that date) Here is an even better way of looking at it, you?re in a fight with someone and you knock our foe down, are you going to help him up? Didn?t think so, because you would have to make a sacrifice that would lower you in some way. Ok I?m babbling here now let?s get back on track. So say that there was world peace, ok and maybe the whole world somehow becomes one country that there is no fighting because somehow everyone is content, there is some miracle religion that is invented that cures all the fighting in the middle east, the starving in Africa is solved, basically its ?happy land?. This does sound pretty nice doesn?t it? Well here is one I?ll sling at you, where is the competition? Our governments are trying to make us think there isn?t ?anything out there? so in there theory we would be competing with nobody but ourselves. So with the whole world having the same technology (and now your going to bring up racism I?m sure, well lets say that with all the mixture of races there became one race so we all had the same skin color, the same religion?. oh nut ruining the ending.) they wouldn?t be competing to look better than the other countries because there is only one country. So what else is there really to accomplish on this world? We ALL have food, we are ALL happy, there is no fighting, and EVERYONE is even?oh no?is this sounding like communism? So there is a possibility that for world peace to occur we must convert our world into something that hundreds of nations fight today? Must we fall into the hands of communism? On top of that if were all equal and what not, then another thing we would have to fear is to turn into emotionless sociopathic androids. We?ll all wear the clothing with the big swoosh, listen to rock and roll, drink coke, drive a GMC, get married, and have kids. World peace sounds pretty good doesn?t it?
