are humans to busy with pointless stuf?

[MET]

with pointless stuf i mean, well, just about anything what we do really. humans these days don't do anything anymore witch is needed to survive, but that is not what i want to discuss.
for this topic i was rather thinking about the really pointless things. examples:
-people who aren't fat at all and still complain about how fat they are.
-hooligans, why would you start a fight for a simple soccergame.
-vegetarians, especially the ones that eat fish. i always get into discussion with them why they eat fish, and not meat.
-wild preservers. it's natural for animals to die out. it happens every day. if it means mankinds doom, so be it, although i doubt it will.

then you have these days youth. they care about... pretty much nothing usefull. they care about drugs, alcohol, sex, being cool, looking cool, smoking, music, games (pherhaps even hating other races). call it useless and they love it. although sex doesn't have to be useless.


that's pretty much what i think. that humans are to troubled about pointles things.

Well, people are people. We're a dumb race. We do dumb things.

i'm afraid so

like believe in religion. but yes, we are far too occupied by pointless things (such as religion) which divert time and effort away from making this world a better place to live in for all.

I mean, you see how even during Little League games, parents of children on opposite teams will be completely up in arms at each other, all because they can't agree on whether a foul was validly called or not.

People, in ten years, you aren't even going to care, much less remember. Get over yourselves.

The things you mentioned as pointless are really not so. Sex and drugs are pointless? Really?

You must never have tried sex or drugs to come to that conclusion.

Music is pointless?

i believe i said sex doesn't have to be pointless, obviously, it is verry important. drugs is useless (unless your talking about medical drugs). although i have to admit that you at least gain pleasure from it for a while. sure, it's usefull in that way. but in the long run, drugs ruins you. and the people around you.
give me one realy good reason why music isn't usefull, apart from the fact that you can have fun from it.

[Thanatos]

They can be, RZZZA, if taken to be the whole end result of your life.

Drugs, I mean.

[RZZZA]

yeah....right....

Please tell me what HAS a point then. What is the point to life, please tell me since the o.p. seems to know.


raising children? Well, that takes sex...

Having fun? Well, drugs (or games, or music) fall into that category.

[RZZZA]

If I have to expplain to you why drugs and music isn't useless, I don't think I want to engage in further conversation with you for fear that you are a demon in sheeps clothing just waiting for me to drop my guard so you can suck out my soul and devour it for all eternity.

Why are music and drugs not pointless? Pink Floyd's The Wall, ok? There I answered both your questions at once.


If you want to look at it that way, everything is pointless. all our life experiences are pointless because we die someday. Do you really want to look at it that way?

Whats the point of feeding yourself today? You're just gonna get hungry again tomorrow. You're just gonna die someday no matter how many times you feed yourself. So dont eat anything, hurry up and die of starvation.

Music is very useful. Good music, though. It has wonderful properties including facilitating learning and healing you.

Sex, well, it is enjoyable and useful as well, also if used correctly.

Drugs, completely pointless. The more you enjoy them, the more they detract from your life.

[MET]

music can be nice, and beautifull and worth listening to. but it doesn't make it more useful.

[RZZZA]

I have strong words for anyone who thinks drugs are pointless. Obviously you people are the worst kinds of hypocrites who like to celebrate with drugs at every opportunity, who listen to music and watch tv shows influenced by drugs, and then act twofaced and say theyre useless.

Ask Jefferson Airplane or Hunter S. Thompson or Freud if drugs are useless.

well, actually, i just gave a reason why drugs could be usefull.
but i was wondering, are you talking about medical drugs?

[Ummon]

As I said: music is useful, and has useful effects.

Freud had no good relationship with drugs. And drugs are useless. I never took them, and do not plan to do so under any condition. Medically speaking, no drug is healthy, none is helpful, and even if dosed well (which can be done) they are risky.

[Skyler]

Nay drugs are not pointless but fun if you use it with moderation.

I had some fun times with friends and mushrooms in the local park, really trippy but fun times.

Fun is not a good thing in itself, and doesn't by any means require drugs.

In any case, they are drugs because they have a pharmacological effect on your mind. I do not expect to convince you, with words, that they are useless. They are nearer to your ear than I could ever be. :wink:

All I'm saying is, my record collection is strong proof that drugs are not useless.


and no I'm talking strictly about recreational drugs.

"Freud had no good relationship with drugs. And drugs are useless. I never took them, and do not plan to do so under any condition. Medically speaking, no drug is healthy, none is helpful, and even if dosed well (which can be done) they are risky."

Marijuana has medicinal value, as does cocaine. I'm sure a bunch of others do as well.

Marijuana and cocaine have medicinal values, in extremely restricted and controlled ways. In any case, for what concerns cocaine, the use is surpassed.

Also, theorically, your record collection could have been just as good, if composed by really creative people, instead of some guys who, not being content with their lack of talent, tried to temporarily enhance it.

Define pointless then, is fun pointless?

What ISNT pointless?
