Why don't humans form a revolution?

Cause we're lazy, for the most part we're fine with the way things are, plus a revolution is unrealistic.

AM I RIGHT?

because its getting harder to buy guns.

Revolution over what?blackngold29

A revolution is when the people of a nation overthrow their government, usually with force.

Yeah I want to get a lot of money, mail everyone masks, hats, and capes, and then blow up monuments with an orchestra playing, preferably the 1812 overture, and then fireworks going off, and we run up and be like "OVERTHROOOOOW, OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMEEENT! YEAH!"

After I made a speech that played on everyone's T.V.'s and computers of course.

-but **** that, I'm too lazy.

I don't think there are enough of you left to overthrow us.

Actually, that's terrorism, a peaceful protest and organization is a revolution, but once someone is harmed or something is destroyed, then the country deems it a threat, and trys to fight it, that is why terrorism never succeeds.

Just like how King Louis was beheaded in The French Revolution.

You couldn't do anything with a revolt when society is this far along. Which sucks because me and many others really dislike how lifeless and uncultured our current society is.GodLovesDead

agreed, everything is too orderly, too systematic. That's what happens with years of institutionalization though.

Stupid government class filling me with lies.

-maybe it doesn't count until you achieved your goal :|

EDIT: Also, I was thinking more "boston tea party" as a revolution, things like that, no one was harmed but they got the point accross

That guy is my new hero and sums it all up really well. I always knew it, I just couldn't articulate it the way this guy has.

THASOD, watch this ****ing clip right now, put on some headphones, or turn down the volume, a summary won't do the clip justice. It's a comedian ranting about the way the system is corrupt, but he goes into further detail, he swears a lot. A lot of eff words and other dirty sex words. but he conveys his message really well

That's the problem. People are afraid of risking what they have for a new, more meaningful life.

Yes, its kind of sad. Every human has such great potential but I feel that life is essentially thrown away for what? A nice corner office or the nice parking spot at the front of the office? I dont mean to disrespect anyone who works in these kinds of jobs and isnt satisfied w/ their life, but isnt there something more? something beyond the status quo?

unfortunatly a revolution could never happen, not in the us, we are too comfortable, we think we have it so good competeing with each other and for what? we work so hard but were working for others never ourselves. Nothings wrong with good honest labor but is that all there is? I dont know this is kind of depressing.

Yeah I feel the same, sometimes life is so monotonous that it gets depressing after some time.

OK I watched this video- George Carlin rocks, he's extremely funny, and he's a big contributor to our culture. That video is part of what makes our culture so great.

We have more creative people making more art, movies, comedy, books than any other previous culture. New inventions are designed every day and our science is continually developing.

If you think our culture is lifeless, haven't you noticed how vociferously we argue with eachother? We are diverse and truly we are more accepting than at any time in history.

You are a bit late. Me and Godlovesdead already discussed this.

That doesn't mean we're cultured. In fact, that drives us away from being cultured. Multi-cultural bull****. We're all becoming the same - with terrible values. Go to a high-school and look at all the kids who just don't give a crap anymore. They seem to take up around 25% of the school. Movies? Comedy? Books? Most of this crap is useless entertainment. All that people want to do is be entertained.

Goals? Who needs them. Art? Art Shmart! Manners? Pffft. People who do have intelligence use it just to make more money.

Since these (art, music, entertainment) define culture, perhaps you mean to say that our values are wrong instead of that our culture is weak?

edit: and if we are all becoming the same, then why are we all so different that we can't even agree on anything?

Cultured : the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.

Having a bunch of cultures doesn't make us cultured.

so you are not complaining that we don't have a good culture. You are complaining that we are not cultured enough. I see.ThaSod

We don't even have a real original culture. We're *everything nice* about every culture mish-mashed - censored too. If there's so much wrong with a country that there are comedians dedicated to making a living pointing out what's wrong with it is enough for me.

really? a corner office?

No, not really. I enjoy my job, I am a chef. I get to practice my hobby, create art, and make people happy at the same time al while making money.

I then take this money, and purchase video games and pay my rent and bills, which in turn increases my happiness.

I dont know where this ideal world you talk about is, but the real world that exists now is pretty damn good if you ask me.

*I do agree, howeve. There is nothing wrong with honest labor, but my motto is "work to live, dont live to work."
