If I'm gullible for believing in something good,

Then I'm proud to be gullible!

tomato is just a miserable... sheeperson?

I want to just laugh at his posts, but I can't think of a way to appropriately satirise them right now. So I guess I'll just laugh. Ha. Ha.

Yes, but that video, "the greatest speech", takes very vague and general ideas and puts it into a cookie cutter of patterns that people have been conditioned to associate with certain things, and does it in a very sentimental way. Get rid of the dictators and let the people rule. Woohoo let all the sheep rule, that will be great. It seems to me that all the people that are all about "if only we could spread more love" are very easily manipulated and honestly I think they need to be manipulated. I have noticed this about people who are all about being compassionate several times, for example when I tried to discuss arguments for and against giving beggars money. A lot of people were totally unable to detach from their emotional attachments and look at the arguments, dissect them and debate them. Instead it was just "what a horrible attitude", "I don't care about your argument, I'd give them money because I have a heart" etc. and the argument wasn't even mine, it was hypothetical. I have seen this trend a lot.

I still remember that show "Life After People" It made me realize if I were somehow in that 1% of the human race to survive (and I don't understand why people assume they'll always be ones who do), it would not be fun. No electricity, no heating, no video games or computers... it would be like the Stone Age all over again. We'd have to learn to do everything ourselves - how to grow our own food, how to treat illness or injury without doctors. We'd probably get all kinds of deadly food and water-born diseases like the pioneers did. "You have died of dysentery".
