Have humans gone mad?

[Chucaro]

I am at lost with the events in the world, have humanity go mad? have drugs something to do with it and we do not know? Is the "cancer of greed"that destroying us?

First the escalation of the Israel Palestinian conflict where now Israel in invading Palestrina.

Now the case of the civilian plane brought down by a missile.

In another news, a football referee in Brazil was beheaded by a mob after he stabbed a player to death over his refusal to leave the field.


I know that are different issues but the bottom line is that life have less and less value

Have a look this a picture with thousands words

Pretty naive if you think it's to do with drugs

Unfortunately that's been human nature since the first man picked up a rock to bash another.

No mate, I do not think that have to do with drugs but it is so irrational the behavior that make you think if these people are acting with a clear mind.
To me all come to greed, in this case power, control,etc and from there other factors that are a side effect of it.

Then why suggest it?

have drugs something to do with it and we do not know?

We live in McWorld in which the population is encouraged to concentrate on getting more to consume more which leaves us dissatisfied so we consume even more, trampling others and insisting on always getting our own way, while obsessed with superficial things which have no lasting value, running around faster and faster, never stopping to think about important stuff like the meaning of life, filling our heads with trivial rubbish, and then we wonder why the world is becoming more chaotic. Selfishness breeds a dog-eat-dog world and tramples on civilization.
And, with that little rant off my chest, I'm off for a hopefully quiet weekend reading (currently Rumpole) and doing as little as possible. Enjoy yours.

I am used to his replies, I do not know if he cannot understand what I am trying to say or just plain stirring
In this topic, the stir will be out of place.

I don't think it is something new, remember World War 1, World War 2, The Spanish Inquisition, Stalin's Purges?

It's just that we know more of what's going on around us.

Good things are happening too, well, I keep convincing myself that, otherwise I would be miserable all the time

The Israeli /Palestinian conflict will never end. The world for some reason will not hold Israel accountable for anything, is it the anti semitic cry that is heard if any one dares to question Israels actions. Terrorism is rightly frowned upon and it is the battle cry used to defend throwing missiles towards innocent every day people and children. Children seem to be just a sacrifical casualty of this tit for tat skirmishes.
If innocent people are killed in operations where other countries are in conflict there are genocide charges laid. Yet in the middle east no one is held accountable

The world should strongly say to both sides 'enough is enough'
Tell Israel, there is your offical border stay within those boundaries, no ifs or buts for as long as they continue to expand and occupy some else's land there will be retaliation. And who is handing out money to Israel so they can afford all this state of the art weaponry? I doubt Israel can finance all this from their own export earnings.

It's time for the rest of the world to say NO!
