Why do you suppose that the planet going pop is something we should be concerned about? There was a thread recently about it melting in a few billion years anyway. Plus, you can't get an ought from an is, etc. You need to qualify the ought with an if.

We’re doomed until we all start to convert to Buddhism or similar ASAP and wake up to the true nature of reality.

I disagree that there is no compassion.
You have rich benefactors such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet giving billions to projects in Africa, and the UK and US governments pilfering away similar amounts on overseas aid to "poor" countries such as India.
And don't get me started on the level of benefits to Labour voters, again courtesy of the hard-taxed worker.Comment

And I know many people who have carried out compassionate acts. What's wrong with your own life that you believe that none of us have any compassion?

Why is the planet going to pop? Are we releasing greenhouse gasses under the surface rather than into the atmosphere? I guess that would help explain the lack of evidence for atmospheric changesOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Someone's gonna press the nuclear button sooner or later. Technology will get into the wrong hands and it's game over. High probability I'd say. I'd give it 25 years at the most and we'll all be toast. Humans can't control their aggression.
