Homo Sapiens fills the definition of a parasite.
We live off our host planet and take all and replace nothing.

Hi Ateday,

It's great to see you use all that evolution and civilisation has given you to hate yourself.

I prefer those who have great reverence for the fact that life and humanity exist at all. What hope does life and humanity have if all it brings you is self-hatred?

Would you sum up your life's philosophy as:

"We're aholes.
We're f'd.
We deserve to be f'd because we're a'holes."?

Cheer up. Membership is open at the miserable gits association, where you share your pessimism and self-hatred with gay abandon.

Appropriately named fester,
Try reading the definition of "parasite" and tell me why it does not apply to all Homo Sapiens.

Viruses are the ultimate parasites. Does that make them good or bad?

Human beings are living beings. Are they breaking rules by virtue of living? Where is the rule book, or is the crime simply one of offending your sensibilities?

BTW, respect to you for being a real person here.

As I understand it, the energy in fossil fuel came from the sun.
And the sun is nuclear powered.
Another source of the sun's energy is the movement of air on the surface of our planet.
We could use this movement to provide an alternative source of energy?
We could also look at harnessing the energy of the sun directly, using solar panels.
But aren't we doing all this already?
I cannot see why we need to focus on fossil fuels, and ignore the other less harmful ways of generating the energy we need.
Initially, these alternatives will merely add to total requirement.
But eventually, they need to overtake and surpass fossil fuel.
But maybe not completely?
Maybe fossil fuel will continue to be used, but at a much diminished level.

A few more end of year thoughts.

As I see it.
We have three main attributes.
Instinctive behaviour.
Learned behaviour.
Reason.
Normally, we use reason to understand and direct all behaviour in to productive paths.
However, there are those who cannot or will not do this.
Instead, they will direct behaviour towards harm and destruction.
And often do so in a stealthy way.
Then we all suffer, until we locate and isolate those persons.

I watched a Tv program about aboriginal rights.
I concluded it is their strong wish to continue to be 'different'.
In which case, they will continue to be treated as 'different'.
That is as certain as night follows day.
The ball is frequently in their court it seems.

All education could be considered a form of radicalisation.
Except when it is based solely on truth as far as we can define it.
Then, it is aimed at improving the way we live.
And is to be applauded.

The last day of the year.
I didn't do much this year.
Maybe next year.
