Its a massive oxymoron... mankind and intellegence that is.

We say we are smart, yet the worlds most powerful nation has a corrupt leader in a corrupt system. We say we are advanced, yet we drive countless species to the brink of extinction when we cut the rainforest.

The surest sign that intelligent life is out there in the universe is the fact they havent tried to contact us.

Making it that much more blatantly obvious to all human kind that what comes around, goes around.

Lili: religion has been one of the main reasons for war during man's existance on Earth - so no hope there.

The only thing that would really save the world: humans become extinct.

Sorry, guys, but it's true - it is the people who make the world a very, very bad place :groan:

ONE:cool:

Aliens laugh at humans like those two in the Simpsons.

There will never be peace on earth, heaven holds that. Everyone is out for there own ends and this is how it is. As a person try to help others from time to time and you will feel good.

Actually, it's differences in religion that have caused all those wars, so I think Lili's point is valid, though to a lot of people that sounds like anything but an ideal world :)

Religion my faith God is the most important thing to me. In todays world there is too many people who harldy take it serious, casual. They worship celebs instead:confused: I just take the examples set by prophets when I read the quaran or any other text which talk of them and try to follow in a good way.

    (this is not an answer to Dan's question, just a ramble)

    The Wachowski brothers tried to be waaaay to deep in the Matrix movies. The first one was cool because it did new things and had some revolutionary action sequences, but the minute they started getting philosophical and put in the KFC guy, it got ridiculous.

    IMO the key to getting an audience to care about the storyline of a movie is to make them care about the characters and what they're trying to achieve. I mean, who really cared about Zion being invaded and Neo's personal journey to discover "the truth". What with everyone saying "Am I real? Or am I :blah:". How can anyone really empathise with the characters in a movie and their motives when we don't know what the hell is going on?

    It was a horrible move by the Wachowskis to remove any sense of closure in the second film. When I pay my money to see a movie, I pay to see the conflicts in that particular story resolved. Sure, it's all well and good to end a movie with a blatantly obvious hint that there's gonna be a sequel, but in other movies that you watch, the problem at hand is resolved, but the second Matrix film served only to confuse audiences further and build up to the third movie, which was ultimately a huge disappointment too.

    You can go ahead and call me a shallow person who's too lazy to figure out the real plot of the movie, but again... when I pay my money to see a movie, I don't wanna have to be thinking about what Colonel Sanders was talking about 12 hours later, I want to be told what the **** is going on.

    Horrible

    I guess one can get this feeling after getting out of the cinema.

    The answer is "no".

    Maybe it is like real life. As humans have developed (in the Matrix case, the trilogy itself), humans have just gotten more and more ridiculous. Then again, I could just be stoned. I'd opt for the latter.
