the americans conquered a country and are colonizing it to support their demand for oil to run their automobiles and produce all their high end synthetic distillations of the natural world. Petroleum waste gets burned at sea by hundreds of huge smoke tankers owned by various companies and nations who burn regularly and do so obfuscated from the eyes of social awareness. Dolphins, by all of our names for intelligence and means of categorizing, marginalizing, and understanding, are significantly more advanced biologically and in turn, socially, as a species, than we are. Their complex and intriguing interactions incorporate many more levels and intensities of communication and societal awareness than ours, including scientifically based and very rational and non-fantastic telepathy. When a human and a dolphin interact, our brain's EEG readings are much like that of an anesthetized subject. There has been a lot of creative research on the healing and psychological power of dolphins, though much of it inconclusive. If you are more interested, there are a lot of resources on the studies of spotted dolphins in the bahamas and bottle noses in japan. When we took this country from the native north americans who lived here, a ball started rolling. From slavery to blatant gender inequality, we've come a long way in 200 years in terms of societal progression and development. However, the most change significant and applicable to our contemporary lives took place in the last fifty years. In the 60s and 70s, we saw the birth of a great many revolutionary kinds of thinking including new and enlightening forms of radical psychology, and through activism and the freshly budding feminism, new forms of social awareness and a potential to more fully realize and be comfortable with one's self. In 1980, things were looking good, except that consumerist culture was on the uprise after the quashing of all the forementioned progress. Over the last twenty years, the gender and class roles played by human |

Over the last twenty years, the gender and class roles played by humans in this culture have become both more antagonistic to our lives, and more subtle in their appearance. As a young white male, I have more power than I ever realized, as I am limited only by financial class and background, and that is a much easier thing to transcend than the biases exploited by gender and race. Think about change? Think about all the people that don't care because they don't know how to care. I didn't know how to care, a year ago. I was aware of issues, and often dismissed them with the simple, I cannot make a difference. Eventually I grasped that I could make a difference in at LEAST my own life, and that self-empowerment and a sense of freedom was completely essential to my happiness both with myself, and with any other human being I wanted to get close to. Then, despite all the knowledge and self-satisfying intelligence and possible nihilistic theory, my eyes were opened by the words of a few particular non-fiction accountings of our times, and the extremely insightful revelations of Barbara Ehrehnreich's In the Hearts of Men. I have massive amounts of power, to be hedonistic with, to be responsible with, to simply use and be aware of in all my actions. I didn't know I was a feminist until I began understanding of feminism on a deeper level than had been exposed by the words and thoughts of my peers. Straight up-- feminism is called feminism because it is about awareness of oppression and the roles we are forced to assume. While there are proposed feminist solutions to problems of the world, more core and invaluable are the very simple raw awareness offered. It is humanism, but it is humanism that demands attention and awareness, and in it's current manifestation, women are the most obvious and important focal point. I am a feminist, and through that awareness and acceptance, found a missing piece of life-puzzle. That missing piece bridged gaps between literally ALL of my life's i |

I'm not really into feminism. I just think our society is fucked for even labeling something "feminism". I mean who the fuck created these (sex/race) gaps to begin with? Idiots with way too much power. I say tear down society as it exists today and everybody shall get a lot more individual freedom. Greed sucks. Society sucks. There are poor people everywhere. Everything should be free, cash only exists in our mind. damn I write crazy stuff today, but I promise you, somewhere behind this mess of words lies a lot of thought.. somewhere... didn't read through all of your text btw, just read some here and there, but I guess I agree on what I read. I'm kinda tired now, didn't sleep much at all this night... |

Oh, also-- americans have terrible posture that is shortening our happy and healthy lifespans. It is directly related to consumer culture, and can be compared and rebuked contextually with the many symptoms of our beastly society such as soda, which is essentially sugar water and caffeine with serves no purpose except to take more of working class money and put it in corporate hands via DISTRIBUTION POINTS NUMBERING IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IN SINGLE AMERICAN CITIES ALONE. Fast food doesn't even need an explanation. Good posture, and the way we hold ourselves matters a lot more than I ever thought before, and our lack of it is very reflective of how our government and society is not capable of considering human beings needs, as far as a healthy self, healthy body, and healthy living. Replace the word health with happiness, or even, "not blatantly crumbling". Does anyone want to help me babble about Gestalt? |

Key secret, seriously, before you flee, what you just said-- I just think our society is fucked for even labeling something "feminism". I mean who the fuck created these (sex/race) gaps to begin with? Idiots with way too much power. -- Idiots with way to much power are the ones who MAINTAIN the imbalance. Also, MALE idiots in power, because women in this country simply don't have equal opportunity and their potential is restricted by societal gender roles. Scan through my first set of posts again, and find the part about why feminism is called feminism, and i didn't fully make it clear, you should seriously go and read some feminist writing. Male feminism?! That's the whole point. Feminism isn't about women, it's about oppression, and women are being oppressed. It has much less to do with biological gender differences, and more to do with what our society is told ARE biological differences but are really manifestiations of the viciously seeded breadwinner and homemaker roles. |

yeah I must say I believe the american educationsystem is kinda shitty, or we'd see more healthy people in the US. I myself am a rawfoodist so I am just as healthy as I can be (still do alcohol now and then though =/... social stuff), but I know there aren't many of us. What is weird is society makes rawfoodism seem extreme, when it's the opposite of extreme... I think people turning into rawfoodists will change a lot of things, and make people more aware of how society is built upon greed ($) and does not work. society does not work - and it's so obvious. fuck the society of today. you should never sacrifice yourself for society, as you will never ever be getting something out of the society - it's just a thing in your mind, that you may (or preferably; may not) believe in. |

Yes...women need to know how to cook and look after children. That is all. Women can't do any serious jobs because they spend too much time thinking about the shopping or what their make-up looks like. Maybe they can do none intensive part time job, but anything more than that their heads will explode or they will become lesbian. |
