Q: Why do you want to kill people?
I have not posted here for a while, but I have been following, lurking if you like.
What strikes me is the lean towards the right. The Trump effect.
I suspect, in terms of "I want to kill you"... Why... beacause you are not a white Christian.
"I want to kill you because you are a white Christian".
"I want to kill you because you are a Jew".
"I want to kill you because you are black"
"I want to kill you because you are rich"
"I want to kill you because I dont like you"
Any more reasons to kill people?

Because... overpopulation.
And some countries may do a lot better with a good ole purging!

Yeah. I only have one potential match on Scots death list.... Scotty, you like me, right old chap, old buddy, old pal?
So your a muslim that thinks i should be a muslim, pay a tribute to you every year, convert, die, or be your slave, yes I want to kill you.
So your a progressive liberal that wants to take more than half my pay and every few years another percent of my pay until i keep less than 30 percent of my hard earned pay, no matter how much i earn or how much i have, yes, I want to kill you.
So your a republican that wants to take my hard earned money for wars and never win the wars, yes, I want to kill you slowly and with agonizing pain for a about 7 days.
So your a homosexual, I don't care, but if you tell me or force me to watch sodomy on prime time television shows and want my kids to think 2 men kissing in Macdonalds in front of children is normal, yes I want to kill you.
So you are an able bodied human who can work of any sex or race and you think I owe you something from the fruit of my labor and your entitled to it, yes I want to kill you.
so you are a christian and you want to harass me with picket signs and trespass on my property to tell me i'm going to hell, something i already know, yes, i want to kill you, preferably on a cross upside down
For anybody that I have forgotten to offend or piss off, I'm sure there is a reason to kill you also.
Hotwater:
I can't believe I've just wasted my time reading this drivel. Your posts have got more reactionary and incoherent recently. What's up? Your PTSD from all the wars you claim you've fought in coming back big style?
ps. It's "you're", not "your" and I'm not even an ESL teacher.
nzteacher80:
What if a gay muslim forced you to partake in sodomy while your family looked on as the muslim read passages from The Bible aloud and the muslim's unemployed gay, handicapped, communist, vegan brother spent your taxes on arts funding for color-blind lesbian theatre and foreign oil wars? You'd be cool with that?
Hotwater:
Sounds like a great offer. Can you share me his phone number?
retiredinchina:
I'm not an English teacher, but if you want proper English, a donation to my retirement account would be appreciated. It's funny how saying what most people believe is not allowed to be spoken or put in writing anymore because we might offend someone. I just don't care anymore, being nice so people will like you does not work, when you get older, you will finally figure this out or live out the rest or your life as a naive mushroom.
Life is very short and theres no time for fussing and fighting, my friends.
Hotwater:
Trump should build a physical and unbreachable internet wall around the USA and the rest of us could then live in peace
More illogical babble. You make zero sense because your ideas come out of a children's cereal box.
You know if you ignore all the main stream media and read both candidates proposed policies you will see that both are fairly typical of their parties. Trump does have some odd polices he wants to enact but he also has some good ones. Hilary is clearly in the pocket of big banks and will work to widen the income gap but she also has some good policies. If we are all going to be honest both candidates are not worthy of leading a country but American politics wamts the money not the skill.
philbravery:
According to an ex secret service agents new book. Hilary is adapt with a Tommy Gun . you have to wonder lut of her and Donald is the bigger nut
cub:
hey, hanson, i would like to know what these ''good ideas'' HRC has that u say she has, so can u explain? So far all i hear from her is socialistic freely give away everything and sticking the bill to the middle class folks so all can vote for her so far.
Lord_hanson:
@Cub, a good policy is based on a voters point of view. There is no point me listing which ones I think are good because to others they might not be.
cub:
hanson a good policy by voters are based on greed whatever a person buying thier votes for free stuff selfishness There isnt such a thing thats free somone is paying for this ''free'' stuff socialism is what it is So HRC all she is doing is buying votes literally
Because there is only one human nature, and when the chips are down, you'd be up to your neck in guts if somebody tried to kill your family...and everything in politics is just that primal nature.
Because... overpopulation.
And some countries may do a lot better with a good ole purging!

Are you drunker than even usual tonight or something?
The shifting to the right seems to be a real phenomenon right now, however I have to condition this post with the admission that I am far from qualified from speaking with a strong degree of certainty on the topic. The one thing I do feel pretty sure about is that calling a dynamic trend such as this the "Trump effect" oversimplifies to the extent of being useless, and even worse, biased (which may ruin credibility.)
Speaking only toward what's going on in the U.S., I see vastly different crowds running towards Trump. Most are not doing it for religious reasons (To the dismay of "enlightened" atheists who wish to discredit him on those grounds) which has been a main highlight in terms of how much of an anomaly he has been for the Republican party. When mobile populations begin suspecting that decisions are not being made in their interest, they become dissatisfied with the status quo. It is because he has distanced himself from that status quo that he succeeded so much, in my opinion. One of the status quo practices is lobbying, which in the U.S., has produced a few winners and a lot more losers. This is obvious when you look at his support base. He gets a lot of support from labor supporters in this regard, which is uncanny, and very dangerous to incumbent politicians like Hilary.
He's also attracted a large following of people who feel no inherent liking for censorship, and prefer an everyday, casual style of speaking which doesn't require a delicate ballet to avoid stepping on people's sensibilities. While the excesses of liberalism (the American variant, at least) have essentially granted everybody the right to be offended, the political correctness that aught to remedy it has been more of a burden than a solution. For the newer generation which has not experienced the various movements of the 60's and 70's, they see no reason for white guilt. This isn't too surprising, if you consider the fact that Germans now feel more comfortable flying national flags (the current generation not feeling connected to the WW2 one), and something similar in Japan. Generational attitudes shift as new people are conditioned by different experiences. General narratives live on as warnings, but their emotional connections are much weaker to the people who did not experience those events directly.
While he uses drastic rhetoric which seems to change quite often,those tendencies can easily be written off due to him having been involved in the reality TV industry for so long. On the other hand, his core, caution oriented views toward globalization, immigration, and censorship seem to be much more balanced than previous administrations.
It was predicted long ago that Peak Oil would have adverse effects. Also, environmental degradation has become the elephant in the room.
There were serious problems in the past, but back then the world wars loomed large in everyone's psyche, and the hopegiving effects of economic growth kept everyone patient.
Resources are running out, and with it is the hope and tolerance we once had. Reactionary impulses to protect our turf are pointless, because global economies are too interdependent.
In tropical regions, environmental effects are rampant, with flooding, desertification, droughts, wildlife destruction and diseases. They have it worst there. But all these things cause people to pick up weapons and destroy a bit more, as cultural 'tribes' fight over who gets the diminishing leftovers. Genocide is just around the corner.
The harbingers of this new era are the economic migrants Europe is dealing with. They are both victims and culprits, and it has a domino effect. This process has been seen in weaker form in the past, as a result of overpopulation on the Mongolian Steppes: the Scythes, the Huns and the Khans. During the invasion of the Huns, many Germanic tribes were displaces from their homelands in Germany. The Franks went to France, the Saxons went to England, the Suebi went to Portugal. Those tribes in turn displaced other tribes from their turfs. Great population mifrations ensued like a domino effect.
The coming catastrophe is worse than we have ever experienced before. Wars will not solve the problem anymore, because it's global warming effects, not overpopulation. We are at a precipice where violence may spread everywhere.
Human greed and stupidity lead us here, but it remains to be seen whether we will be able to lift ourselves out of it. In an ideal scenario, greed and ignorance will have to be banned to a certain extent, by unlocking the doors of education to create a collective consciousness. If successful, nobody in the future will be voting for Hillary, Trump or Brexit. Anyone with a destructive mindset will be unsuccessful in persuading others, because education serves as a buffer against spindoctor manipulation.
How can you protect yourself? There are basically 2 ways to survive. Either you join your 'tribe' of armed white men, find strength in numbers, and adjust your opinions to fit the enemy image. Before long, you'll be wearing nazi emblems with a feeling of pride and nostalgia; it is your heritage after all.
The other way is to join the 'melting pot', by accepting others and refusing to identify with any extremist group. This is a very large group, but they will militarize more slowly. Their principles will be more akin to the Cosmopolitaine culture in France, accepting people from all backgrounds. But their values will also be of importance, so if you have divergent opinions, you must also be silent and tolerate the dictatorship of the majority.
I choose to join the 'melting pot' group because their victory will result in a more positive outcome. My family is mixed race, so there will be little choice. My conservative Chinese wife will have to put up with the unwanted 'openness', because neither the White or Mainland Chinese tribe would fully accept us.

"because education serves as a buffer against spindoctor manipulation."
I think we have evidence on this board that this isn't true... The problem is the type of education - and this type is a HUGE factor. People have been taught to be reactionary, to just follow the herd, and taught not to think too deeply - spindoctor or not. Lizardbrain still works - and scares.
I'm thinking it's actually too late. While physically we've done so much damage it'll be hard to do anything to reverse it, the much worse reality is that humans aren't willing to change their ways in a timeframe that matters. The possible solutions needed are needed now... but the rate of change in people won't see much happen for decades - without massive crackdowns of the type you suggest... and humans aren't willing to accept those now. And government's don't have the guts to implement such controls now.
Scotts actually said the main problem - let the next generation deal with it. Well, we've been saying that for soooo.... long!
coineineagh:
Austerity is the only symptom relief the current governmrmts seem capable of: take it out on the little guys who had nothing to do with the pollution and destruction. Human weakness is the root cause, but the primary source of all the troubles is the 1% of people who don't like change, and have the governments by the short & curlies. I do believe they can be dethroned from their entrenched positions by a focused rebellion, but people are too easily distracted, and end up kibbling over petty details. It's divide & conquer. Even some people at the top are starting to wonder if they should tone things down already. As for your view of things being 'already lost', I can't agree. The biggest influence you can have on things is your mindset, and nihilism isn't focused on improvement, meaning it plays into the hands of the power structure. It's smile or die - put on an optimistic face for the sake of the future. I may have a bad back and huge family responsibilities, but there's still something inside so strong.
Individualism is the reason why people show all the emotions to others.
