Never a perfect society......

My point here is, I am glad you are around, and sharing some thoughts, and I'll be glad to help in anyway I can.

fumble! i got it!! there is nothing new about writing in a professional manner. writing is talk made professional. above you used 'is' when 'are' is correct, but even with 'are' it is a passive structure and has no place in professional writing. well, at least from a professional writer's view.

nothing gains perfection in a society, but we have no excuse or reason for not trying to nudge it in that direction. lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Thanks for the tips Turtle. I am no grammar expert, and I honestly do not even try to act like one. lol.. (its something I would actually like to work on).

My focus was strictly referring to the forum methods of communications. Um, simple spacing and whatever. Nothing major, It's just that forums can be some what of a new thing for communicating.

(I just wanted to make that clear, that I'm not uh....you know.. messin with anyone )

of course; who here would mess with anyone? i agree the net is new and still forming up protocols. in fact, i think it's changing the world like nothing ever has. leveling the playing field, or making the world flat (again?) to borrow a phrase from another writer without attribution.

young buddyzeen's questions are what we all ask when we're (is that we are or we were?) young, but for us pre-webites it seldom went farther (further?) than that small group of friends or perhaps a classroom. cat's out of the bag now biotches. another pandora's box? what? another attempt at perfecting society run amok? time will tell, just like before.

Thats also part of the theory though if you can read it why would you care ????? You don't need a rule of communication just a basis

The planet? We are destroying the planet? I can guarantee you that the planet will survive longer than you. You can deal with the spelling and grammar at the pace of your choice. I would like to touch on the point that the planet is somehow in jeopardy from the antics of mankind, and that technology is doing more harm than good.

A) The planet is 4,500,000,000 years old. Men have managed to populate all of the planet in the past 10,000 years or so. The population of men was negligible until the past 100 years. The population explosion has come not from runaway breeding but from extended lifespan. We are evolving into more capable survivors. Unlike other apex creatures, we consciously adapt and evolve. We are not subject to the seemingly random selection of purely biological evolution which takes generations to change. We adapt within a generation through the miracle of our intelligence and scientific understanding of our environment. It is this ability to adapt, along with the robustness of the human animal that makes me doubt that we possess the capability of destroying ourselves completely - including nuclear holocaust scenarios.

C) The planet has had complex life for 300,000,000 years or so. 99%+ of all the species who have populated the earth are now extinct, and have been since before modern man has walked the earth. Death of a species seems as inevitable as the death of an individual animal.

2) The days of the planet earth are in fact numbered, but not by the threat of man. Given enough time planetary calamity will rain down from the sky. The earth is a sitting duck with abundant gravity. How might these disasters driven by the inevitability of orbital mechanics be averted? The only hope is to have an understanding of the forces and the technology to effectively influence them. The only hope for that that the earth has spawned to this point is the technology of intelligent man. Even if man is to do this perfectly or the earth is simply lucky enough to avoid such a disaster we eventually reach a time where the earth will be swallowed up by our sun as it dies from consuming its own mass and expands into a red giant that engulfs the part of the solar system that we find so temperate today. The only hope for the continuation of any of the life on earth is for it to leave our planet and seed itself on another celestial home. How is this to happen without intelligence driving technology to master the forces of interstellar travel? Should we then just resign ourselves to the fate of those who have no choice in the matter, or should we leverage our gifts of intelligence and our creative engineering capabilities to insure that the legacy of the earth's progeny outlive the planet from which they sprang?

IV) In 1988 I was out playing paintball in the Poconos when I was stung several times on the wrist by brown hornets. I had been awake for over 30 hours having worked a 16 hour shift the day before, and then up all night at a party. My arm swelled up and I was dizzy, and it hurt like hell. I was taken to the hospital and given a shot of Benedryl by a very cute nurse. I was about 175,200 hours old when that happened. One might have thought that the hornet sting was going to do me in. It sure hurt like hell, and the swelling was scary. For about two hours I had people very worried about me, but I was never in any real danger. So, I am now 350,400 hours old. The excitement of the hornet sting is just a distant memory, and as dramatic as it may have been, is now nothing more than a footnote in history, long since rendered meaningless by the passage of time.

Name a crisis. Any crisis. No matter how bad the pain or scary the swelling, It is just as meaningless as the hornet sting I had 20 years ago in the ultimate tale of the lifetime of mankind.

you know i have horrible spelling and typing habbits
i even sometimes leave the toilet seat up
(notice i rarely use capitol letters)
Now, I could, just for the sake of it, use complete sentence structure.
but then arn't we just reverting to the old ways
i could write every post in essay form
but by the time i get started my inspiration is gone

as far as tecknology goes, it is the shiznit
the more we communicate the better
you know i have a friend from germany that married my friend from kuwait
and they are both into the space industry
imagine that
now as far as pollution and stuff i would be the first to say holy sh$t
Rainbow Family of Living Light Unofficial Home Page
but we have solutions availible
we just have to put them to use
you know there are generators that teather to the ocean floor being developed
that have fish protection and generate electricity from the ocean current
we are working on this
(although there is a rumor going around that if you don't use correct conjugation of verbs on the internet you will be under watch by interpol)
but the level of communication that computers allow and the disspelling of so much bullshit, and the availibility of a resource such as wikipedia
i think humanity will lose a certain level of stupidity
and then (hopefully this generation), we prevent the current models that are foretold by the supercomputers

À moins que nous n'utilisions la grammaire nécessaire et l'orthographe, avec la bonne structure de sentence, nous ne serons pas en mesure de transmettre nos pensées clairement. Pour monter au-dessus de la stupidité, il faut être disposé à apprendre et appliquer ces informations. Autrement, nous pouvons aussi parler une autre langue

שפה היא דבר אבולוציוני ובכפוף את הכוחות של מגמות מקומיות. בשעה הליבה היא מבנה של שפה, אבל היא משתנה עם הזמן, עם התפשטות של שטח זה המגמות כיוונים שונים, כי בסופו של דבר הופכים לשפות שונות.
