the concept of recycling goes beyond just what recycling companies do...composting is recycling as well...dont worry your not bursting any bubble.. everything is recycled...thats how nature works..ever see an old growth forest? Recycling is one of the most important things for us to be doing..what really is waste?..things that dont easily break down in the environment without becomming environmentally toxic?...if everything was biodegradable we'd be alot better off..thats recycling.. Sure we need to stop cutting down forests and wahtnot and find better sources for paper and plastics etc..like hemp.. Long live the unwoke.

what we need is to eliminate the need for anything that could be considered disposable i.e. paper and plastics.
What do we really need them for in the modern age?

Composting is good. Too bad we create so many useless products that have half lives of over 500,00 years. Just look at McDonalds toys which might capture the attention of a child for 10 minutes.

"The Vatican newspaper and radio station are criticizing James Cameron's 3-D blockbuster for flirting with the idea that worship of nature can replace religion - a notion the pope has warned against."
"In a recent World Day of Peace message, the pontiff warned against any notions that equate human beings with other living things in the name of a "supposedly egalitarian vision." He said such notions "open the way to a new pantheism tinged with neo-paganism, which would see the source of man's salvation in nature alone, understood in purely naturalistic terms."
I'd rather worship the grass, trees, and air than the petty, self-centered attention freak of the bible. And on the topic of avatar depression and whatnot. If you are experiencing this, go see the grand canyon, Hike Mt. Shasta, climb Nevada falls, wander yosemite endlessly, drink ayahuasca in brazil, walk along the great wall, dig your toes into the beaches of Portugal. You get the idea, it is a big beautiful world out there, you just need the spirit of adventure. You lock the door, and throw away the key

Anyone who is depressed after seeing this movie should take a vacation to this place http://www.gohawaii.com/...of_interest/napali_coastRead the article and check out the full photo gallery. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. There is fresh fruit everywhere and it is so temperate that a human can live there year around with no real shelter, which I plan to do for a year; discretely and respectfully of course. And a movie like avatar should not make this world seem grey, but open up a person's eyes to all the beauty in it. There is so much color, life, and energy every where that you do not need to go to another planet to find it. You lock the door, and throw away the key

Catolic church is one of the most representative shit that shows the colective stupidity of western world that is going down with this world and all its life beings. Im West and Im so dissapointed of this civilization that I dont even try to fix it.. Im just a fkn espectator. DMT is my only way to fly away for a while. I have seen Space as kaleidoscopic chambers of infinite Knowledge, I have seen Time as a semiLiquid mass on the hands of a pharaoh, I have seen God as a warm and white, full of Love Dimention. ...am I really Seeing right now?

James Cameron should have responded by pointing out that Catholics support cannibalism. I prefer our sacrament. He led a double life. Did that make him a liar? He did not feel a liar. He was a man of two truths. - Murdoch, Dame [Jean] Iris

They SHOULD be depressed, we all should, the world is fucked up and I won't be happy until we fix it! WARNING: DO NOT INGEST ANY BOTANICAL WHICH YOU HAVE NOT FULLY RESEARCHED AND CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED!!!I am Teotzlcoatl, older cousin of Quetzalcoatl. My most famous physical incarnation was Nezahualcoyotl, but I have taken many forms since the dawn of the cosmos. In this realm I manifest as multiple entities at a single time. I am many, I am numbered. I am few, but more than one. I am a multifaceted being, a winged serpent with many heads. We are Teotzlcoatl. "We Are The One's We've Been Waiting For" - Hopi Proverb

Quote:Bottled water is poison anyway..who wants to drink flouride? i remember in canada, that aquafina bottled water listed the % flouride on the label. this is something you never see in the u.s. i drink bottled water to AVIOD flouride, because lots of municipalities feel they need to play doctor and medicate the public for their own good. (i have been meaning to buy an expensive filter to remove it) when i was 19 i realized this society is plastic and freaked out and gave away all my plastic possessions (free box on the curb). this seemed rational at the time. in fact, my partner and i purge most of our belongings before we go traveling. it is a great feeling to be free of all that weight! stuff is just stuff, and easy to come by. the last pope(john paul II) was in total opposition to, and voiced his opposition to industrial hemp, while giorgio armani was making high quality clothing in italy.--but really, no surprise here. while living in the only industrialized country which denies farmers this valuable crop, i was furious.:evil:

I think only one type of fluoride is actually harmful, and that isn't the kind that's usually used to filter water. StumbleUpon just took me to an article about it... but I didn't add it to my favorites and now I'm regretting it. He led a double life. Did that make him a liar? He did not feel a liar.

The first time I saw avatar I was thinking "Thank you JC for spreading the word!!". All the reservations I've had about society for a while seemed to be conveyed by this movie. Perhaps it would act as an eye-opener by planting a seed of change in the collective mind. A lot of my friends had feelings of disillusionment and disenchantment about our world after watching this movie, so why not in the general population? This is it. This is what it was. This is what it will be.
