pretty cool, yes? Most of us have seen the rise of video games from their most infantile stages, the birth of internet gaming/ birth of the internet itself, being part of it. Yeah. The rise and evolution of electronic music. Creepy thinking that those who helped shaped it are still alive and producing albums in our lifetimes. Life isn't so bad.
Just seeing all the changes, speaking generally about the world... in general... :P Maybe sometime in the future a utopia will exist and those people will read about us in their history books imagining what it would be like to live the way we do now.

I dunno, it's complicated. People in the west have access to all kinds of material goods and even ideas and freedoms that we've never had before. But whether that makes us happier or not is hard to say.
If we ever did reach a state of utopia, it would probably be very dull.

Sure there are burdens that technology brings, but there's really nothing we can do about the way humanity is running its course. So sit back and relax, eh? Smoke a fatty and grab some teet.

We can enjoy all the art and thingamabobs from past generations, plus our own. It's great. Information overload can be nervewracking but it's a GREAT problem to have. And I envy our grandchildren, unless they all have weird mutations. Unless the mutations are claws or exo-skeletons or something.
Plus, like, you know, medical advances, which are pretty... important I guess. It's nice to know we're in much better hands now than the neanderthals that called themselves doctors years ago.

• musically: definitely, now is a great time to live! • technologically: same thing. • politically: not too sure. it seems to be turning more and more towards right-wing lately, i'm worried every time the government makes a new law... i'm worried in general.
• socially: it seemed to me that it was getting better and better, but now starting to be on the wane... it seems harder and harder to get a job, racism and misogyny are growing again...

here is a post my friend made, on another messageboard, saying the complete opposite of this thread. all of his writing is in italics.

GATHER AROUND KIDS AND LET ME TELL YOU A STORY.
There was a time, when even women needed balls if they wanted to survive out in the world, a time, when people were hard, and men were even harder.
Today, there is only one, slightly effeminate, androgynous gender. A whole lot of bullshit. It wasn't always this way.
Lawsuits. Revitalize your radiance. Nurture. ASBO. Restraining order. Now with copper and boswelox to firm your skin and remove the seven signs of aging.

that "playground pentagram" story seems like bullshit to me... though it would help to see a picture of it...
—
the list isn't very convincing i think. religion has been around (and has made terrible damage) for milleniums, it's nothing new. i fail to see what's the problem with freedom, apartments or holidays... etc. i won't comment on every word but some of those seem to be picked at random to make a longer list.
and i fail to see what's the problem with both genders getting closer to each other either. fuck "manliness" and "womanliness"; for me people are persons before being female or male, black or white, etc.

a conservative person.. no, not at all really.
as for the list.. you're not reading it properly...
When he says "religion", you need to read into it. think about what religion means today. religion being hijacked for other ends (although, in some cases, it always was) is what i think it probably means.. that one's a bit hazy, and especially since the importance of the role religion plays in society has plumetted in the past 50 years, i certainly wouldn't have included it.
freedom is much easier to understand. it's bandied about as a buzz-word. it's also a piece of doublespeak.
apartments and holidays.. well, being irish, i know what he's talking about, but perhaps it's more difficult for people from sunny countries. it's like another sign of wealth.. the villa in spain/italy/wherever, taking trips over every summer and bragging to friends and family about the coming trip months in advance..
i don't support or agree with the list 100%, certainly not. but it's food for thought.

i did understand that "religion" meant some kind of degenerateness that came from religion (extremism for example)... but it's always been like that. in the whateverth century (i suck at remembering dates), people would pay to get a ticket for heaven. there has been the crusades. the inquisition. etc.
i can't tell for sure for freedom, but this word has surely been used abusively before today too...

John wrote that list.
Think about what he's saying with the words.
I guess you need to know him before you'll understand that list, since they're just words.
For immigration, he's referring to the scaremongering that's whipped up by people (like the conservatives and BNP in england).
and as i said for freedom, he's referring to the raping of its meaning by politicians.. the word is almost throw-away now.

surely you'd have copped that if he really was against immigration, then he'd not have listed "Deportation" as the next thing on the list?

JOHN'S A COCK! Yes I understand what he means after reading your posts, it's just a very strange way of writing it. He could have written it like that. Instead, the way he did write it made it appear that he was against immigration etc, not against the way we deal with it, as he put it next to other things he hates, such as emo hairstyles etc. :)
