This site is truely mindboggling.
http://www.peterrussell.com/Odds/WorldClock.php
Even if you are not a humanitarian, there is still a lot of information on this one page that you will find very interesting/sad. As you watch this "world clock", see how many species go extinct, how many people die, how many are born, how much forest is cut down, etc in real time.
The numbers will blow you away.
This website is like nothing you have ever seen before.
It makes you realize how much we need to start taking action. People and animals are just dropping dead; forest is disappearing; water is literally going down the drain, money is gone, food is wasted.....:eek:

Not much I can tell you.
what are you talking about? No i cant do anything,not by myself.i know that.i just posted this here cz i thought it was quite interesting.i mean isnt it? i know ive never seen anything like it.
i as a person can do watever i can to make MY life better.and maybe i cant do anything for the entire world,but i can make a difference in the lives of ppl around me by recycling,donating,saving energy,and just being nice.

Well, the message you are sending out is that mankind and some species are eventually DOOMED to a certain fate, thus inflicting some sort of guilty by association.
I've known many who have given much to stop those numbers from flipping, yet their contributions seem null and void.
I do as much as I personally can to help out, as I am sure many around you do also.
MANY are taking action although the end result seems inevitable.
I personally am in a wheelchair now. I hand push myself a half a mile one way to the store to get what is needed for us, I can't and refuse to let a truck or car be driven to attain what I can do it my own power.
I see it as a slap in the face when people like you, come along and post these stats. There are SOOOOO many trying to turn back the hands of time, but it is inevitable, doom is on it's way.
Thanks for your cheery fuckin' post.
Now kindly fuck off while the rest of us do what we can to stop the cycle.

No problem. Keep optimistic about the state of the world - it may not be realistic and you may not really be doing anything to help significantly, but making yourself feel better is important too... :)

yes i know.

but u must admit its hard to keep optimistic when theres so much crap happening all around the world and all around your country,state city.you cant watch the news,thats almost always negative.tv and movies are usually full of sex violence ect.crime rates are up all over,school sucks and im a teenager.wat do you expect.

Well, Paula, I'm not very optimistic about anything. So I can't really help you there. I don't worry that much about other people's problems, since I'm often overwhelmed with my own.
now all your doing is just being rude.by posting this i was in no way trying to imply that humans were the cause of it,that we were doomed,etc.i just thought it was interesting.the paragraph i posted was a copy of one of my friends so it was not full of any of my opinions.the only thing i originally said was "this site is truely mindboggling" and thats it.the rest is copied.so sry if i upset you.
Mind boggling, sure . but you never mentioned that it was ALL about your friend, and NOT your personal views. Am I supposed to be able to read your friggin mind? Am I supossed to know the difference?
No.
So thanks for clearing that up, after the fuckin' fact. :rolleyes:
No.....
Try to mention it next time so I don't get pissy with you, but your so called friend, A'ight?
Jeebus!
jeez.........i really dont know what to say.yeah get off so i dont have a chance to apologize to you.....thats nice..SORRY.gosh,now im mad cz ppl hafta be like that.ok everyone im not trying to make u feel guilty or make anyone mad so if you read this and thought it was another one of my "save the earth" things yur wrong and im SORRY i annoyed you or watever.I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING.there.....so if u have anything to say to me....insults,etc....send me a message cz im not gonna argue with you here.
Umm, yeah retard. I have a life that don't involved or revolve around you, ok?
A'ight.
Please, take it personal that I had to log off for a bit to tend to life, ok? Asshole!
It is interesting, just be prepared to back up for fact, assnine, and not cast it on your so called 'friend'.

Can't help it. I'm a bitter bitch because of folk like you.
You didn't say you were sorry, you instead blamed your friend for your post.
Definitely your problem there, Einstein. :rolleyes:

You might want to lay off of Paula a little though - I dunno if she's prepared to handle this kind of thing.... She seems real innocent. I like to see them stay that way.

i didnt blame her.since wen is saying that it was her opinion blaming her.thats just wat she wrote.i dont understand why your being so mean when all im doing is trying to at least make things alittle better.im sorry ok.i know how it feels when someone says something and it makes you angry.trust me i know,i have a stepmom and it sucks.can we just stop?i apologize.you seem like somethings bothering you...something personal.im not trying to be mean i want to help.why dont you get off the computer and relax for a while?i spend a lot of time on the internet and it can make me mad,sometimes you just gotta get off and watch a movie or take a nap or somethin.i usually sleep.
