Very intuitive proudfelon.

That is why I believe presidents should be Male for a few years, then we elect a Female for a few years, then the cycle repeats.

The Male King loves change and innovation, growth, new ventures, The Female Queen loves Nature and the Earth, education and re-investment for the future ;-)

The most dangerous human idea is that MORE people is a good idea. Humans are now like cockroaches that have overrun the planet.

I am proud of all of you, please become leaders of men.

(the women don't bother inventing plastic bags and nuclear bombs, they're a little bit more responsible than men)

I try to stay away from "rght" and "wrong". I prefer to be more objective, and morality is basically a subjective concept. And if the authority you peak of is god, then all i have to say, first that authority has almost never stoped any "atrocities" and in fact increased them. Second we can not speak to this "authority" and ask what is right. The bible, koran, or the torah can all be interpreted in countless diferent ways. And finally no one will ever subscribe to the same god so there wil never be a universal "authority" everyone is "subject to hence it makes it almost useless if only some people follow it.

Now i do think you hit it with the idea of self importance. Most conflict stems from this (religious conflict also). People i think need to relize that they are no more important then anyone else, no more corect then anyone else, and that their morals, values, and wishes only aplly to their individual "self". I dont know if we can ever make people relize this but if we do it would stop them from imposing themselves upon one another.

i dont know what that means jesse. the question is an interesting one. i, of course, am tempted to say religion for its continued retardation of human progress and occasional use of horendous violence to remove people who disagree, not to mention the religious inspired wars and wars made more fightable because of religious differences.

I would say nuclear weapons, but i dont think this is an "idea" but more of a development of technology that would have developed eventually, and thus does not fit the question in my mind.

I also would consider the "in group out group" mentality between humans, but i think this is also not an "idea". People naturally group people in their minds, this is more of an evolutionary characteristic than a human created idea.

I think it boils down to nationalism or religion, and I give the nod to religion being the more dangerous idea. I understand religion has been beneficial in some areas, but i also think the bad heavily outweights the good.

the concept of self-importance

the mr. rogers/barney generation of "oh the world is so pretty and we can all get along" type of hippie peace love do what you want attitude that without an authority to say what is right and wrong will never cease
