I think you need to start asking questions and looking for the truth. Once you find the truth you will understand why people are acting the way they are.

Why do so many posts wander so off topic or contain so much anger?

i think the economy is going to continue to suck for a while, possible we are Japan 2.0. I have no idea what will happen with the stock market, but I do know my family can’t afford a decent house in a good town without being financially stretched.

“lisoosh,
but you can’t back that up anthropologically. They did come about together.”

Barbara – I would assume they evolved at a similar time, but there is no knowing- we don’t have any way to study what was going on in the minds of primitive man 100,000 years ago.

“Lisoosh, try this one on. I’ve been letting it knock around in my head for awhile now. Agnostics/humanists are just highly evolved Christians (jews, muslims, etc).”

I think there is a disconnect in this statement between the concept of SPIRITUALITY – the search for deeper meaning and place in the world, and labels attached to different groups.

Agnostics aren’t sure about the existence of deitys, atheist are sure they don’t exist. The issue is one of belief in a higher power or individual creator.
Organized religions area all spiritual in basis but have different approaches. Hinduism for instance recognized many paths to “enlightenment”. Buddhism is popular with agnostics for its focus on personal development.

Interestingly the idea of a Judeo-Christian culture is relatively new and one I don’t really think exists. Christianity focuses on “salvation” through very specific beliefs, Judaism focuses on actions with a pretty heavy burden of responsibility towards living a certain way.

While most of you are just kidding or at least talking about living in some isolated region away from the people, please don’t kid yourselves. Unless you have some personal connection to the government or police, you will not be safe and will stick out amongst the local population. And anyone who has ever taken a wrong turn off of route 5 south in the outskirts of Santiago may want to rethink the idea of not wanting a personal army. That place makes the worst sections of Brooklyn or the Bronx look like the Hamptons.

There is a public shooting range near Fort Dix I hear. This is the FEMA region 2 prison camp for folks like me. I figure it would be good to get to know the surroundings of where I will be spending the rest of my life.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

I figured I should quote a Founding Father so that the web crawler program has something to feed on.
