an androgen society would be peacefuller, but less fun.

2nd line of sarcasm.

It was always in the back of my mind, while this was happening anyway, that what if these guys were onto something. I've got an open mind but the Heaven's Gate crew is just way too out there for me.

No matter what you believe suicide is never the answer.

Let's say it was real, they all killed themselves and woke up aboard a space ship, awesome, for them. Meanwhile there loved ones are back on Earth devastated facing questions that will most likely never be answered properly for them. Bunch of selfish Aholes if you ask me.

how do you know?
fun based off of sex?

i'd imagine that transcendent genderless extraterrestrials would have thought of a higher level of 'fun' .. or .. 'pathways to satisfaction' ...etc.. possibly the elimination of 'desire' ?


you wouldn't care about what you thought you'd be missing.

A NEW LEVEL!!! of PILLOWS!!!
and COMFINESS!!!!
(such pillows!)

i get what you're saying.

maybe take away the suicide part..but that we graduate to a higher plane, that seems like the only purpose of life

first, I believe Jeebus to be bunk. second, an androgenous society is pretty much what we have going on now. people afraid to fight and get their hands dirty, and even more.. look at their kids. you cant tell the "boi's" from the girls anymore. rather nasty. THird, our governments are not run by nazi's. Operation Paperclip was placed not to get NAZI understanding and philosophy down pat, but more because their scientists were already doing stuff we hadnt thought of, period. the crap the US and UK are afriad to do (like practicing medicine on people (criminals) instead of animals) with science, the nazi's went ahead and did on their prisoners. Not everyone of them was jewish, some were their own too. THAT is why they recruited the nazi's into nasa. all this conspiracy crap is getting old and we are doing nothing but running around in circles waiting for the sky to fall. Inventions are made every day by random no bodies that bear the same inquisitive stain on their souls that people like schrodinger, galeleo, and davinci had. instead of going on and on about the loons from heavens gate, roswell, and B&B miller, while waiting for NASA< MUFON, and the various governments (all run by the same people) to tell us what we want to hear, why not look up subjects like technology, and familiarise ourselves with electronics, so we can just step over the loosely held blind fold of the governments, and start doing for ourselves?

Yes other things are fun and I'm not saying I need sex, but have you seriously thought about living without it? Ever? No way. Not me. Aliens suck.

Life is infinitely more enjoyable without the desire for sex. It is desire that causes a problem.

And yes, it is possible to give up all desire.
