Insane

[GodEmperor Nicholas]

Just a random thought:

We humans are a pretty crazy group huh? Imagine the sheer lunacy of it all here: You are a person who gets in a thing that flies, of mechanical nature, and gets into a little box to shoot at other people who are flying, so that you can drop explosives on the structures that have been created by these apparently offensive people.

Oftentimes, all the combatants have no actual personal motive (death or attack) and have never met, or will meet each other again. Yet it is relatively uncommon now for these combatants to fail or not fight--they are often perfectly willing to try there best to kill each other, even sometimes going so far as to put themselves in significantly more danger as a result of this.

Kinda makes you marvel at the human condition doesnt it? I mean, are we really that insane? Or can one ultimately justify this seemingly irrational behaviour?

Most of the great philosophers in our history have been trying to justify human behavior and the reasoning of it since the dawn of thinking, but they have struggled so much to uncover the puzzle that they have become insane themselves. Humans are insane... it is my reasoning that we are insane. We have a thing called reasoning and morality that applies only when we want it to apply. We are all insane hypocrits.

We all know that murder is evil, but when murder is placed under the veil of war, it is not only accepted, but encouraged.

This is only one example of how insane humanity is... how does this insanity justify itself? I have no idea.

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

See, we are sane. *NTW*

We're not insane, simply human. We don't even meet the standards we our selves have established as being "human" :

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Modern warfare is much more barbaric then the ancient ever was. Now we dont even need to look into the eyes of enemy, smell his sweat or see his blood spilt upon your hands. No, we simply press a button and watch from a safe distance as our bombs and missiles do our dirty work. Maybe all politians who start these wars should be made to face off with the enemy leader in a fight to the death .

[Mordhak]

We are all insane hypocrits.

Indeed. Hypocrit and naïve. Destroying thousands of other humans' lives in a so-called "war against terrorism". Far a drop of oil. It isn't even necessary, considering the use of H² or bio-diesel and stuff like that. It's so insane if you start thinking about it, and compare it to history.

one way or another every other creeature on this planet has some form of controling their populations. but we are the dominant population. only 3 things could seriously bring us low, food and water, war, and disease. of the 3, a death by a bullet or vaporisation in a nuclear blast seems better to me than a slow agonising death. we are our own worse enemy
