People need to grow up and stop believing so much shit.

stop being so bitter dude, the adults in the 60's thought you guys were all stupid entitled dicks too. kids only took to the streets because it was the cool thing to do. most knew nothing about the issues and what happened in the end? they grew up, sold out and did the same thing their parents did, fuck everyone.

funny to find an argument about religion in a forum like this... are we looking for atonement ;]

based on some of the comments, and not only from this thread, it's a very sensitive topic for sure, and even tho it might be difficult to logically prove this fact, it seems that there are two kinds of people in the world... those who have faith and those who don't.

to say nothing of the fact that faith could be hardwired into our DNA [ link ], faith could simply be considered a skill just like any other... and it's definitely not a skill taught in a government or communist school. Furthermore, it seems that those who don't have it are hating on those who do, blaming religion for the ills of this world, and calling the faithful brainwashed.

if religion is brainwashing, what the fu&* would we call watching government owned television in capitalist America?

sure "religion" [man in power] has made dumb ass mistakes in the past, but it's the only thing mankind has that resembles anything good.

as Jel so eloquently put it:


...one could wonder if the world would have been different if women would have been allowed, no doubt by GOD, to wield the mighty sword of righteousness instead of dumb ass, violence prone, impotent, child molesting, 72 virgin promising assholes (men).

I am not bitter.
I just have the subtle manners of a lawn mower in a library. As I get older I have less patience not that my life started with much. Besides nothing written on the Interent will ever make a difference in this world.

Here is a synopsis of the sixties

In the 60s the majority of our "parents" lacked sophistication. On any given day they were basically functional drunks and their solution to everything was conformity and if that failed military service.

The revolt against the establishment produced some great revolutionary figures such as,

In the United States there was Emmett Grogan, Abbie Hoffman, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, Martha Griffiths and many more.

In Europe there was Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Antoinette Fouque, Monique Wittig, Eric Hobsbawm and again many more.

Furthermore we changed the entire way society operated. Not only did we contribute great works of art but everything from premarital sex, civil rights to getting rid of the draft was won because of the sixites counter culture mouvement. If it was not for hippies, men today would still have crew cuts and women would still be going to university for nothing more than an "MRS." degree.

Wheras today the parents of generation loser are over weight wallmart shoppers and their children are nothing more than illiterate and narcissistic video game playing chronic masturbators. They contribute nothing and are incapable of learning anything. Substitute the drug extasy for alcohol and they are more or less the same problem as the parents of generation Woodstock.

Time and learning can change minds.

keep on romanticizing your glory days. the average kid in the 60's did none of those things and contributed to nothing aside from buying a few beatles albums.

regardless these great revolutionaries, these great society changers couldn't raise kids good enough to raise kids themselves.

Hopefully that was sarcasm.

^ I believe he was saying the teachings of the religions, not the individuals warping/misinterpreting those teachings, and also in the here and now, before people bring up the Crusades etc :)

Romanticize your punk ass. You do not know shit because you were not there.

He is what the average "young adult" did in the sixties. (The "kids" are the fucking asshole 1970 generation in charge of the world today)

In Mai 1968 we almost destroyed the French gouvernment.
In August 1969 we created a disaster zone in upstate New York called Woodstock.

Futhermore like the "average kid" of generation loser, you have done nothing and you will undoubtedly do nothing.

Can't believe in this day and age people still believe in a book written by middle eastern men that thought the earth was flat :helpme
