Humans will never overcome their unquenching disire to hate, or their unfathomable depths of stupidity. It is truly sickening. Humans are unique in the fact they are the only creature to exist that is ultimately responsible for their own demise.

Ok, iggy can live on the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes, not the Charlton Heston one. Then he won't have to eat any of those filthy dick licking butthole NRA bananas.

What is really funny about "Marky Mark" is that he still has no fucking problem bitching about not wanting to be related to his hip hop past, but has no problem making money off it now.

Pretty pessimistic views given the fact that we are continously improving our society.

Um yes and no. Technology has made it so we don't have to rely on horses to send mail by the Pony Express, and I agree that is a good thing. But greed has at the same  time kept oil company CEOs in denial that their product by burning it is damaging the planet.

I don't know about you but the planet is not more than a rock for me. Don't get me wrong I think nature offers us a sense of beauty and joy but I value our species more, and I agree that we should do things smarter and that we should try not to inflict more suffering than is necessary but we should also try to diminish the influence of emotions over our decisions, to keep the eye on the ball in a way.

As for petroleum, there is no way that we could have known the consequences of petroleum on this planet, and the CEOs, after all we are all emotional beings not just rational but togheter we can diminish our shortcomings and strive for progress. 

Edit: Let's not forget that we almost erased famine in just 2 centuries.

Really? I actually think our specie is nasty and almost impossibly to get rid. Cockroachs might survive us, but will not have long afterwards in which to regret it.
