wow, i didnt realize how, i mean, i knew she was intelligent...

but tonight we spoke of the situation in the middle east, and the situation of our socioeconomic classes in our own country (USA)

and she made it so clear, so quickly, about how...the people of Egypt, want democracy, freedom, they dont know what's next, they don't care, they want freedom first, and they have faith that good will come of this if they can get that...

it really made me think... we have this lifetime... we can think about our lifetime, and what will benifit us in this lifetime, or we can think of the big picture..

what would they ask us at the gates of heaven about this? what would they say? is what is happening in this world right now, benificial to us in this lifetime? or the future people beyond our lifetime? should we be pushing for open thinking? or stability now? really, it brought a tear to my eye, this is a pivotal point in our existence, we really have to decide.... and i think this will become very evident very soon, my mother agrees...

Screw the big picture we don't actually have any control over it, you are fooling yourself. Seems like top countries survive 600 years a pop or so before they destabilize, nothing to see here moving on.

why would I waste time worrying or even thinking about what happens over there? I can't change whats going to happen. Your mom and you both need to worry more about what you are doing and not try to predict the future.

Your mom watches the news and/or listens to news radio. She's so smart.

the big picture involves deciding how much beer I'm going to drink during the Superbowl later

Er, if your username is referencing what I think it is, you're awfully uptight for someone that'd pick a name based on that.

Considering the other bullshit that zane spews, not sure why you think people should take him seriously.

I mean, really, what is there to give serious consideration to in his OP? He references something that really does not have anything to do with the point he's making, and then basically spaces out. Considering his self-proclaimed drug use, just seems like silly stoner talk. He doesn't delve deep or offer any insight that any person couldn't come up with from 2 seconds of going, "what if...".

Just the other day he was freaking out about how Egypt is going to send oil prices skyrocketing and war with Israel, now he's suddenly viewing it as a metaphysical revolution for not just the people of Egypt but all man? Its a pivotal point in our existence? For the typical American, the Egypt situation is less of a pivotal point of existence than the sporting event taking place this evening.
