Well, as for your opinion on separating like and dislike, I find it rather a paradox. You have told me on several occasions "I hate that bitch" and then "Oh, I love that boy!" You dislike the bitch, and like the boy. However: they are both people. You do too separate. And liking animals is different from animal abuse, it's two completely different aspects. Saying they're one in the same is saying you like animals but like to see them abused. Doesn't really make sense.
Your position of evolution is rather illogical. How do you capture every last specimen of a virus, just to drop it off on a planet that it would survive? Any beings of higher intelligence, even if they could capture every last specimen, would destroy the virus rather than let it live and evolve on another planet. Also, think of this: if we're the exponential evolutionary matter of a virus from another planet, what created them? I'm not encouraging you to believe in God, but if the big bang created everything...what created the big bang? There has to be a beginning somewhere along the line, and the most logical option is a deity. I don't beleive the bible myself, as it was written by man, gone through 2000 years of translation, along with the Council of Nicea, Canon Law, and other various choppings of the bible...it's illogical to believe every last word is true. However, I do believe in that God, just not the word of man. There are even theories that combine creationism and evolution, of which I believe, that would explain pre-Adamite societies.
People as a society did not invent a lie to help themselves cope. One person would create such a theory, and others would follow. Do some research on the history of religion and worship, along with the formation of the early church before making such assumptions. I'm not saying you're wrong in that some people believe in God as a crutch, but not all. It seems as though that's the main example of Christians you've seen though.
As for it being 2.89 for gas, it has relatively nothing to do with the war or George Bush for that matter. It's the cool thing to blame the president for everything, but people are just following the trends set by liberal media. No one called Bush Hitler until one extremist idiot did, and now it's the coolest thing to place their faces together. Hence why Green Day's latest bowl of political bullshit sold so many copies. No one can resist a cute, anti-government, almost-punk pun like "American Idiot." People say it's his fault because he has stocks in oil. Um...everyone that's ever LIVED IN TEXAS HAS OIL STOCKS. It's not just him. Like I said, he's just an easy target that everyone knows, and it's easy to criticize the leader of a nation. Everything that happens to do with oil isn't done by people on the outside. It's done by people on the inside that you'll never hear about. When was the last time that you heard the name of an Exxon CEO on the news? A CEO that's part of a company that walked out with $30 BILLION PURE PROFIT in one year. I could go on for pages on dirt over the oil companies, but I spare you now unless you want to elaborate later.

Yea, I did tell you about me theory on taxing drugs, but Derzorch is right. They can tax and regulate things like cigarrettes because they've been around and the government worked it's way in from the beginning. But there's so many cartels and flowing veins of drugs into the US, the government would never, ever be able to regulate or tax it. This is why drugs were made illegal in the first place. The government doesn't care about your well being. People found their ways of getting it without government taxes and regulations, so they made it illegal to discourage the use of a product they can't make a profit on. The "War On Drugs" is exactly how Derzorch described it: perpetual. It'll never end. Although, I'm not sure exactly how profitable it is: pawning the assets they seize can make them millions and millions of dollars, but at the same time, they're wasting millions and millions of taxpayer dollars. Hard to say really how profitable it is, but even if it's not profitable at all, it could just be a method of money transfer for the "black projects" she describes.
I agree with Derzorch again in that "a person's thoughts are never a waste of time." Even though I disagree with a lot of the stuff here, it's still your thoughts, and therefore not a waste.
I agree with you on the gas and such... the government does end up being the scape goat for many things. It's often made a puppet as well, do you know of GATS and the WTO?
But you see, sir, I am no she... Haha, do you know who I am?
I'm so sorry, I would have sworn you left a comment in my LJ quite some time ago referring to yourself as a female, I apologize. But no, I haven't heard of GATS, although WTO sounds vaguely familiar. And no, I don't know who you are, and I'm sorry again for thinking you were a she.
Ah, GATS (stands for General Agreement on Trade in Services) has this one section which says that if a law is more hindering to business than beneficial society then a GATS council has the right to review that law and strike it down if it wishes. This is a treaty set up by the WTO, the WTO being the World Trade Organisation. So basically, the government can make a law, but business now has veto power. NAFTA has a similar section. NAFTA is in North America, GATS is European. The WTO goes along with a lot of similar organisations with two or three letter acronyms... World Bank (WB), Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Internation Monetary Fund (IMF), Group of 8 (G8) -- that's a group of nations which represent 2/3's of the worlds economy.
I don't really care you called me a she, it was just that I didn't think you knew who I was and that you called me a she was the basis of this assumption. My name would be Zach Rollyson.
