And to think that just a few posts down you mock somebody for presenting an opinion (in your case, a guess) as a fact.
At any rate, I didn't say that living in a super overpopulated planet was desirable, I said it was preferable to living like primitives.

Hooksaw -- It isn't the youth that diagnoses and invents mental health problems, it's the grown-ups. Between the Great Depression and now, we've invented a slew of dubious problems, expanded the definitions of ones that existed, and in general done everything they can to diagnose more people with something.
Then there's the fact that the youth today are encouraged, through a variety of means, to express their problems to a far greater extent than they were in 1938. Most of those means are provided by -- you guessed it! -- parents.
As usual, you are trying to attribute to one generation problems that are either more visible or more prevalent because of the actions of previous generations. Whether this is because you're bitter about young people making fun of your advanced age or some other problem, I can't say. Regardless, you've got no one but your peers to blame for the problems with younger people you constantly bitch about.

Quote : | "Hello, this is my first post.
Well I went into the movie yesterday thinking I was just going to see a sci-fi romp. Little did I know it would change my life forever. I sat in the theater after it was over just stunned, and then I began to cry. I was ripped apart with feelings I had never had before, hate for myself and my species, hate for my capitalistic and worthless society, and a feeling of such despair that I would never be able to know the Na’vi or their superior culture and way of life. I was there just thinking and crying for about 15 minutes before an usher asked me to leave. I told him I never wanted to leave and he was confused for a second. Then he said I had to go and if I wanted to see this “crappy movie” again I’d have to pay for another ticket. Well to cut to the chase it got a bit heated at that point and we ended up in a shoving match. The police officer who took me out of there didn’t seem to care either. When I told him he was a tool of an oppressive society that is destroying the world he laughed at me. Now I’ve got a charge against me for public disturbance but I don’t care. Hopefully that jerk usher got fired.
The next day I saw it at a different theater in 3d. All of a sudden the world was as real as my own. At the end I stood up and started telling the people that they were the bad guys and were killing the Na’vi everyday with their western society. I said look at Afghanistan! I got cussed out and had a soda thrown on me but I wore those like a badge of honor, I felt like a Na’vi standing against human oppression and sickness. I just wished I had a weapon at that point and could have fought like Jake did. Jake was so strong. I began to wish that I could be like a new Hitler, only instead of exterminating one race I’d do the whole human race then shoot myself at the end. My mom always said I get too wrapped up in this stuff but she is an idiot who is just as much part of the problem as every other American. I told her when I got home and she cried but I don’t care anymore, I’m 35 and I can do what I want in my room and don’t have to take any “medicine” if I don’t want to. Did the Na’vi take pills to “get better” Did the Indians? Nope. I just wish I could stop thinking of this; it’s more than a movie. My Mom used to think I was too into WoW but that was just a game. I quit playing and told my guild wife there to just forget me. This feels real, that is just stupid now. I don't even really want to go into work.
Sorry for a long first post. I’m in an emotional state right now and just wanted to vent with other believers. I wish I could wake up and be in a real world, not this hell hole we have created on Earth. I don't know if I should cry or be mad anymore." |

Fair enough. I read it more as "I'd argue that life in nature is better than life in a dystopian future" followed by a statement of how our future will inevitably be dystopian.
^^^And if that post was real/sincere, I'll eat my hat.

Alien was Ridley Scott.
Anyway, I just found out that David Fincher is directing an Aaron Sorkin-penned movie about Facebook. 1/11/2010 4:01:16 PM |

The first step to recovery, however, is admitting that you have a problem. In any event, you seem a bit defensive about all of this, Grumpy--would you like a pill?1/11/2010 4:08:44 PM |

Or the "indigenous peoples" fan clubs, who go on and on about how the natives would never destroy their environment, except for those times they hunted all those megafauna into extinction.
Life in nature is not admirable. It is not desirable. I don't care if there are no trees left on Earth, it still beats the hell out of a planet full of gigantic goddamn dinosaur things that all want to kill you." |
