  1. It's been a while but thought I'd post this here as a little Christmas treat for you guy's. Merry Christmas
  2. Very good answer. One very easy step that could be taken is actually appointing the correct people with the right experience in each particular field, rather than those with the right connections or just those that know how to play the game of politics.
  3. Not at all, neither am I interested in arguing over it. i am fully aware that we are by definition as unique as a snowflake and I fully recognize and embrace my uniqueness. Never mind if it doesn't resonate with you then no harm done but I'm going to continue being me regardless. All the best. I will however leave you with something that Sharkrider said quite a while ago that always stuck in my mind. Which one describes you?
  4. I've just replaced mine at 147,000. To be fair it probably had a bit of life left in it but the dmf started to rattle a bit and I didn't want to risk a gearbox failure.
  5. If I'm not on this planet then what planet am I on? And does that mean that you are implying that you believe in extraterrestrials? :).Anyway back to your question. Can you please clarify what you mean by Human Nature? I have an idea as what you mean and I think that website I linked too has already touched on it, but I'm not sure it gave the answer you were looking for. You have a concept of a "ruling elite" which is good but what does it mean to you, and back to my question how do the "ruling elite" control people and what means do they use? I think possibly that when you define that question to yourself then perhaps you may begin to understand why Human Nature is like it is, and that it can be changed by perhaps reverse engineering for lack of a better word. Sorry I'm replying on my phone so it may not make as much sense right now but hopefully we can get somewhere with it. As for the last part.... Come on, thinking that one person such as myself has all the answers and that you should follow what I say, only as you said replaces what is with the same. For a start we have to start thinking differently as in "outside of the matchbox".
  6. For those who maybe interested in something a little different to the status quo, those who may or may not recognize the need for change may I leave you with one more short but sweet paragraph that sums it up rather well. So, how does one manifest a change in the collective when there is a deeply rooted control paradigm in place and those in control are dedicated to maintaining their power at all cost? The control paradigm is heirarchial in nature with complete power and access to information restricted to the very top of the organizational pyramid. Such individuals are driven by greed and selfishness and care nothing for the well being of those whom they depend on for their wealth and power. The institutions that they have created have a consciousness and energy of their own and there are lower ranking minions who would gladly and cheerfully replace them if they were be removed from their position of power. Nothing can really change until the consciousness of the players changes. http://www.1paradigm.org/change.html For those who don't or those who want to continue the perpetual cycle of pointless arguing then just take what you need and discard the rest or perhaps just scroll on past No offense to be taken and no offense ever meant Sorry I did say short and sweet but I feel this adds to the overall message rather well. The greatest strength and the greatest weakness of a control paradigm system is its heirarchial structure. With the restriction of information and power to the very top of the structure, everyone else is denied the information and power that is required to challenge or change the structure. It also means that those truly in control are small in number. How does seven thousand (or perhaps seven hundred or even seventy) versus seven billion sound? The real power is in the masses and everyone knows it. If the masses were to suddenly and collectively grasp the big picture and the internal power that they possess, the entire system and dominant paradigm would shift instantaneously. This has not happened because the masses are divided and organized into conflicts against themselves. Wars, religious prejudices, distractions, disinformation and the struggle to survive in a manipulated economy make it difficult to find inner peace and see the bigger picture. The shift is coming because it is necessary. Internal change is the engine of the shift. It is not surprising that greed motivated individuals with the perception of having a lot to loose are disinclined to accept change gracefully. It is worth remembering that one of the greatest revolutions in histoy was accomplished by the non-violent activism of Mahatma Ghandi.
  7. Which is exactly why we "The People" need to change not just or necessarily the "ruling elite". We are to blame ultimately because we have let it get this point despite the simple fact that we "The People" outnumber those the "ruling elite" by such a huge number. So then the question arises. How do the few control the many? What methods and means to they use in order to convince billions of people that we need a few corrupt, selfish individuals to provide us with the necessary tools for seemingly unacknowledged self enslavement? "The prison without the bars" We need a ®evolution, but not in the sense of chaos and bloodshed. It's a internal ®evolution and it begins now, with us. It begins with the latest generation of parents and children to show them the error of our ways, to point them in the right direction rather than conditioning them to follow in our dysfunctional footsteps. Sometimes the most complicated questions have the most simple answers. Sometimes the biggest impact can come from places and people who you would least expect. Sometimes you may only need to realize that in order to change the World you only need to change yourself. Sometimes you also realize that one of the biggest and most important revolutions of recent history came from one man and his sandals, his name being the one they called Gandhi and he achieved this monumental feat using peaceful, non violent means. And as he said " Be the change that you want to see in the World" I think you may begin to understand especially after recent events including Brexit and the American presidential campaign..... People are craving and needing a change. The question we must ask is do we want a change for the many or a change for the few???? Some food for thought perhaps?
  8. That's all well and good I often reflect back to my childhood with some very fond memories and some not so fond memories, it's natural yet unproductive unless it serves a greater purpose. I can help but to refer to two of Einsteins "alleged" quotes which on the surface will seem hypocritical given the content of my last post, yet entirely relevant given what is continuing to reoccur throughout history if only dressed up and served in slightly different way. "The definition of Insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" "You cannot solve a problem using the same level of consciousness that created it." So again and I will keep repeating it hoping that at some point a seed may hatch into your sub-conscience. We will not make any kind of real, lasting, positive change until we first change the way we perceive and think about the issues. We will not get anywhere imo, by propping up and re-enforcing the same self defeating, destructive ritual practices. To quote KRS-ONE if I may. The age of the ignorant rapper is done Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone The stereotype must be lost That love and peace and knowledge is soft Do away with that and understand one fact For love, peace must attack And attack real strong, stronger than war To conquer it and its law Mental pictures, stereotypes and fake history Reinforces mystery And when mystery is reinforced That only means that knowledge has been lost And to quote on of my favorite comedians Bill Hicks the legend that he was.
  9. "…..holding positive ideas (as important a step as this is) is not sufficient by itself to change the world. We still need direct communication between individuals, we need to translate our ideas into action, and we need to recognize the freedom of choice of those who choose alternatives different from our own." - Elaine Myers Any person or civilization that does not learn from their past is doomed to repeat it. Control Paradigm interests are, however, served by mass ignorance. Ignorance is disempowering to the masses. This is rather obvious and has been used as a tactic by many tyrants across our history. Borrowed yet very relevant it's well and good talking about the 70's and I'm sure that's very nostalgic for many, but the real issues exist today and only in the now can we actually look at and address the problems rather than comparing them to hardships of yesteryear but what have we actually learned? Massive portions of civilization are living today in conditions far, far worse than most in this country have ever witnessed. Why? Why have we put a man on the Moon 50 years ago yet still are unable to eradicate poverty or care for the most basic of Human needs? Why aren't people asking the real questions? Why have People giving their Power over to a tiny, tiny portion of the total population of the Planet and then treat them as if they are biblicalesque miracle workers ready and waiting to walk on water for their loyal, devoted following of voters? "Well schooled people are irrelevant. They can sell film and razor blades, push paper and talk on telephones, or sit mindlessly before a flickering computer terminal, but as human beings they are useless. " -- John Gatto
  10. Or perhaps it's just better to try something other than that, that hasn't been working for quite some time now. Perhaps it's like Carlin said " we don't need better Politicians, we need better citizens" So for how much longer do we need to participate in this dysfunctional ritual? How much worse does it have to get before we actually do something about it rather than debating, moaning, complaining and lynching our way back into the stone ages? We should have a poll to see just how many people left today who actually believe what they promise and continuously fail to deliver. We need a ®evolution of the mind, body and soul to rid us from these destructive ritualistic practises, not that it hasn't already begun
  11. Strange how his form of copy and paste is acceptable yet mine are the work of the Devil Stay strong guy's more fear and propaganda to follow.
  12. Get yourself a mk1 Golf or even a mk2 and fit your engine in it, you will have an absolute weapon without needing to rip out all the stuff that gives it some level of refinement. Mk1 golf weighs about the same as your saxo did but you gain much more street cred, a mk2 weighs about a ton depending on which version. Probably not viable for you but the I love the idea of little weight and much torque.
  13. Just out of curiosity why does autodata record it as 1460kg? Thats strange on the website it says kerb weight 1245kg but when I was at a garage earlier today the brake tester weight wall chart had it down as 1460kg. Strange.
  14. Hey you can become a full fledged prepper now then... Spam is your friend and so may this article be . http://www.theprepperjournal.com/2013/06/12/prepping-101-a-step-by-step-plan-for-how-to-get-started-prepping-pt1/
  15. So now what was 3 has turned into 4 I'm sure we can make that 5 before the end of the day. Pythagoras would be proud of me
