So I was bored while writing a paper that decides whether I graduate or not regardless of my 3.9 GPA. So I decided to start a poll, what do you think?

There's a fine line between genius and insanity, Realis. And 42 falls somewhere between mushrooms and Mad Cow Disease.

Insanity is not knowing your faults and limits. Sanity is knowing your faults and limits. The most 'insane' (using the definition in the whole thought process of 'mentally different' and cheerleader type definition of 'retarded' a.k.a completely different in every mental depository aspect of thought process (see after the comma, after the last parenthesis)) people can pass the psych evaluation easy because they know the depths of their sanity, while the people still eating playing cards while screaming 'Rummy!' in a goldfish match are just fucking stupid and don't realize what the hell's going on. Ignorant dicks. >.>
Also, where's the 'I don't know, I'd rather wait until I die and the power(s) to be tells me the answer because I'm so damn lazy' answer to the poll? I would so pick that one.

Peace and tranquility, definently. It's the ultimate goal, since the human race in general needs to both evolve and have the willpower to reach it. Really, whats the point of living life if you're not okay with it?

Peace and tranquility, definently. It's the ultimate goal, since the human race in general needs to both evolve and have the willpower to reach it. Really, whats the point of living life if you're not okay with it? If homicide brings someone peace and tranquility, should they pursue this peace and tranquility? If you being an ass to everyone and making everyone miserable brings you peace and tranquility, should you pursue it? Depending on how you look at it, this is entirely black and white, but also is not simply black and white. There's a large gray area in this if you wish to consider as so. Case: It is nearly impossible that you will coexist in harmony and happiness with someone else at the same time all of the time. I do not mean in tolerance of the other person, but actually truly happy. Just because you enjoy it does not mean it is good. There's a fine line between genius and insanity, Realis. And 42 falls somewhere between mushrooms and Mad Cow Disease. Wrong. The number 42 falls as the answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything; it is our duty to search for the question itself, due to the fact that we are of the Earth, which is actually a super-computer to compute the question that creates the answer 42. Unfortunately, only moments before the question was calculated, the Vogans destroyed the Earth to created an inter-space highway. Too bad. I would have liked to visit the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Insanity is not knowing your faults and limits. Sanity is knowing your faults and limits.

One out of five people in the top 5% of the world in intelligence end up committing suicide; two of the other four will go mentally insane before they reach the age of senility. I do believe the last time I checked (with an official IQ test), I was in the top 9%, so there is statistically a partial chance that I will go insane or will kill myself, though I have gotten through the main part of society in which this occurs; High School. GEE I WONDER. This is due to people having high expectations because of my high 'intelligence'. Many expect me to know everything, and I do not. Many chastise me when I don't do perfect, and I am not perfect.

But, that's intelligence. Being the smartest doesn't mean you notice every little thing. But hey, congrats on the IQ. Goodluck with that insanity and suicide stuff, and by all means, just remind those high school punks that while they're 40, decrepid and living in a box, you'll be one of those upper 1% that owns america, and should therefor be more worried with their own work instead of you not knowing a single answer out of the 40 or so on the test.

Fixed. Or, I'll leave America ASAP because it sucks. Probably not, though.

If you leave america, move to Ireland. Awsome place, I visited it once.
ANYWAY.

At this point in the evolutionary chain, nobody can be truly happen. We need to throw aside things like Religion(Think about it. How many Wars has religion had a part in so far?), hate, war, The need for control... We still need to get past this and to the point where everyone Singing, "WE ARE FAMILYYYY".

We still need to get past this and to the point where everyone Singing, "WE ARE FAMILYYYY". Ozzy Ousborne shall unite us with Rock. QUOTE BUTTON. 'Tis there for a reason. Why do you think in just about every single one of my posts I quote people? There are MULTIPLE benefits to quoting, and thinking that people can see what you are referring to when you surround it with two lines on either side is ridiculous. Quoting makes a post more organized, more sensible, and most of all, people know WHO you are talking to. And if Quoting is 'too cool' for your stupid ass, then perhaps you could try at least making the quoted text in particular italicized, but that's fucking stupid considering that it can actually be EASIER to press the Quote button than it is to scroll down and press the Reply button. DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP. Also, to be more on topic. Throw away religion? Fuck no. Throw away hate, war, the need for control? FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. On the topic of religion, reason number one why we should keep it: Atheism vs. Religion. How fucking stupid can you get? If you feel the need to reject the possible existence of a God, then go ahead. However, consider this: Possibility 1: There is a God, you believe in Him. You go to Heaven. Possibility 2: There is not a God, you believe in Him. You lose nothing. Possibility 3: There is a God, you don't believe in Him. You go to Hell. Possibility 4: There is not a God, you don't believe in Him. You lose nothing, but still don't get to rub it in people's faces in the after-life. Reason number two: Though religion itself has caused many, many, MANY wars, this was unavoidable. However, consider this: If religion is a bunch of fucking bullshit, then why was it created in the first place? To gather everyone for one cause so that they can be controlled. This, above all, brings something that people can connect to, and it generally prevents an overall state of anarchy. Without a shepherd, a flock of sheep become crazy and unorganized. This relates to humans. Without a leader, where will you go? You think that you can be entirely independent, that the complete freedom would be great, but that complete and entire freedom will actually both limit you and the human race. While the United States of America is one fucked up place, where what it stands for, 'freedom', is absolute bullshit, and where the separation of church and state is nearly nonexistent, it is better than if we were truly 'free'. Thus, religion relates to a control of the human free will. Hate, war, the need to control? This is impossible to get rid of. Do you really think that with just the flip of the switch, eternal understanding and compassion will be spread to everyone in the human race? It is nowhere near that simple. I would even go so far as to say it is entirely impossible. This is something that is, in certain religions, reserved for the transcendent mind, God. By throwing away religion, you are throwing away the concept that it is possible to love everyone. Emos, preppies, jocks, frats, homos, blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Germans, Nazis, Jews, Christians, I bet you disagree with the beliefs or stereotypes or concept of any one of those, and if you don't, then we can get into even more taboo things such as furries, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. War is also almost entirely needed; not only because next to impossible to rid the world of hate, but it also plays part in population control, and most of all, it allows humans to rebel against those that try and take entire control. Getting rid of war is damned near guaranteed to set someone up to take over the entire world. Guess what this is attributed to? Anti-Christ. The need to control, I already ranted about above. TL;DR YOU ARE STUPID

I didn't read anything said here, but i voted to find waldo. Kind of funny For me to see this topic the way I've been feeling lately. I got manic depression, i could win the lottery and still be sad as hell for no reason. I really don't even know my view on life is exactly, but i know it sucks. We are all human so Peace is impossible. As in you gatta drive yourself mad to feel your in peace, either that or get high. That still doesn't actually make it true tho, that's my point of view anyways.

Lol wars don't do anything about population control. You wanna know something weird that was pointed out in an anthropology class I took? How come when 99% of soldiers are male and they proceed to repeatedly clusterfuck each other over and over throughout history the human population doesn't decrease? No one really had an answer other than a nebulous one of God creating more male babies or there being a subconcious part of the female brain that kicks in and realizes "herrrr whars teh dudes? I needz 2 maek moar!"
Joking aside it is an interesting question I haven't seen answered yet. Besides more people die earlier from living in an agricultural society subsisting on low quality crops that are grown in mass quantities than in war or its aftermath. Also wars are not started because of hate, they just escalate into terrible situations when they last longer than the original leaders intended.

none of these are right. the correct answer is to continue the species. that's it, we only live to produce offspring and continue the existance of our species. anything more is just something that psuedo intellectuals or theologists try to prove is there, when there's nothing more to it.
oh and
when you look at, some few million dead during a war is nothing compared to an overall 4 some odd billion (i believe its around 6 billion today), is about 1%. 1% is not enough to cause a substantial impact on baby factories. also, there's the psychological effect of men returning from war immediately baby factorying with their wives/girlfriends due to the horrors of war they were a part of. in peace, there's no rush to do it. when in war time, the fear of not producing young, i'd imagine, would set the male sex drive into high gear and remain there until he's relieved.
