Yeah I use live, It's great and its a forward thinking program. Its users tend to be forward thinking as well and I have learned all sorts of great things from this board (politically and musically). I'm sorry that my main contribution lately has been political, it's just so glaring and obvious to m...

Hey GJM! I'm so glad we've been able to find common ground. Where can I hear some of your music? I have some up on my myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/zstowasser I also agree about my concerns with institutions telling people how to live. I believe critical thinking is crucial for our survival....

gjm & hb - We're on the same page, really. My choice of words could have many different interpretations. What I'm trying to get at, is that I don't rule anything out, I keep an open mind and I learn and research as much as I can. I don't have time to go investigate the mayan calendar and intervi...

Thanks for the clarifications - yes the end of suburbia as we know it, and I am talking as an american about america. I dont know the history of suburbia around the world, but the history I learned in this film was that suburbia developed after ww2. we're talking shopping malls, supermarkets, huge s...

As I have suggested to you before, internet forums don’t have certain non verbal forms of communication. Stay away from making judgments on peoples characters based solely on the written word. Its only a small part of the picture. All we have to communicate here are emoticons and words. So choose w...

we're all on the same page

where the hell did this thread go? :) gjm - we're on the same page but you must like to argue and get angry?? Yes the question is "how much is enough" or "do you really need this?" I'm sure our perceptions of american lifestyle is much different. I'm from california (a small town...

Eugenics is not the answer. Populations in western countries are entering stable or negative growth rates! 3rd world countries population growth is slowing as they move from rural areas into the cities. Our population growth is slowing. We should focus on education and birth control, not forced ster...

gjm - your hostility worries me. It looks like you have some spiritual growing to do. consumerism - I agree that a dishwasher, oven, washing machine, fan, bed, chairs, etc bring happiness and are "needed". however, our lifestyles, especially the American Lifestyle, is built upon buying thi...

Great posts guys, thanks for giving me some insight into what's going on in NZ. My impression was a beautiful green landscape.. sad to hear that it is being americanized! The debt problem is another crisis we're in. Have you guys seen "Money as Debt" that shows the problems of fractional-r...
