Life would be so much more peaceful and tranquil if we were all Buddhist in a Communist society... right?

As long as I didn't set myself on fire in protest. Fire is supposedly the most painful way to die.

Ya I heard that burns are the most painful things to have and recover from. But I think that drowning is a worse way to die. You'd be drowning and inhaling the water, knowing all the while that you will die, and who knows how long it takes for that to happen. At least when you're burning you might have the opportunity to pass out from the pain. So I guess it's a tossup.

I'd rather live forever muahahahahh!

.........riiiight.

Peace!

There would be no need for any immolation if people like Ngo Dinh Diem don't ever come around again

Nope. That would be true if everyone in the world were truly equal, low functioning drones.

But all humanity is not at all equal. There are people dumber than I, smarter than I, better looking, worse looking - probably even people just plain luckier than I am. It's pretty much the same across the board for everyone, and I'm willing to bet that, while there are people who have matching levels of looks, intelligence, etcetera, THERE ARE NO TWO PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ATTRIBUTES AND LEVELS THERE OF.

This is why total communism fails. This is why total capitalism fails. This is why religion fails.

There is no 100%. There are ALWAYS exceptions. This is why man, in our current state, is not and will not ever be truly equal - and as harsh and wrong as this might sound, that is good. If humanity was completely equal in everything, we'd stagnate as a species from complacency- or destroy ourselves completely when the equality system inevitably breaks.

Bravo Kthulhu. Here's a political post I more or less agree with.

Wait.

I'm not supposed to be here... shi

Quick, Oto! Get out before it consumes you!

"He knows too much!"
"Sir you're going to have to come with us."
*Laughs maniacally as the men in black suits take kthulhu away*

On a lighter note. Bravo. You put that perfectly into to words. Your theory is right on the money.

Peace!
