What ACTUALLY gives you hope for humanity?

[Not G. Ivingname]

Spoiler: mmmmmm, bacon

Wow... I really am not sure if that should give me hope or scare the #@!% out of me.

 

[Ldude893]

As long as the sun's still here.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

The one hope. THE ONE HOPE i have left for the human race is Christianity. It gives me hope.

Really?

I mean...Damn, that's the FIRST time I ever heard someone say something to that effect on here.


Thanks, you give me hope for this website.

Your welcome man

Most recent Old Spice commercials.

It does seem like the deodorant commercials are the new beer commercials.

And I was under the impression that we were getting better? What with all the religious zealots and ignorant atheists dying down, we seem to be moving more to a common sense era.

Plus, Liam Neeson has not committed suicide and Clint Eastwood hasn't died yet, so our remaining elders are still defending us from the Sun Gods and Moon Demons, what is there to worry about?

Oh god, if I reply to you I'll get another temp ban.

You'll get over. Just breath, the internet won't hurt you.

I love people.

Though some of the things we do may be questionable, it's not a valid enough reason for me to lose hope in us.

Also............*looks at username*...........yeah, I love people.

I actually have quite a lot of hope in humanity. I mean, I am one. Might as well root for the home team.

Sure, we have our flaws, but then again, so does everything else in the world, and there's always room for us to get better, and redeem ourselves for our sins. Or at least I think so.

Sometimes, I'll just look at my computer screen and go "Wow, most of us were living in dirty peasant houses only a few generations ago, and now we've managed to create actual computers that can render almost totally lifelike scenes and link anyone on earth with anyone else? Fuck me!"

I agree. It's things like this that give me hope. Sadly, many people will not look at it the same way.

This video made my day. I feel like doing that now.

..........I thank you for it.

As long as humans are capable of making things this beautiful I know we will make it.

 

[Kud]

Anyone who says they don't have hope for humanity is stupid.

We as a race have come this far and we are just gonna keep on going.

Saying you don't have faith in humanity is just a lame attempt at sounding cool.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Well, no dictators have yet successfully taken over the earth.
Also the number of athiests around is increasing, which suggests some kind of rational progress.

 

[Kuranesno7]

Fuck Hope.

 

[SillyNilly]

This! Whoo!

 

[sky14kemea]

Not a damn thing.
[sub][sub]I'm sure that's a quote from somewhere....[/sub][/sub]

Actually, there are a few things that temporarily get rid of the "life sucks and humans are evil" Thoughts, like when people do nice things for no reason. E.G When a guy on a train offered to pass my bag down from the overhead, because it was really heavy and I am really wimpy.

That and comedy shows. Good ones not crap ones. (Although it's a matter of opinion I guess.)

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Mainly the fact that I know that even amongst the piles of stupidity, greed, and hate; there are still some really good people out there. Plus I'm human so I figure, why not have a little love for my species?

This does:

Wow. Just wow. That really made me, happy. Really lifted my spirits. That also gives me hope that humanity has a bright future in store. It also makes me want to travel the world and randomly dance.

Thanks for sharing that with me.

I have always thought that one day an Alien race will come to earth and declare "JUSTIFY YOUR EXISTENCE PUNY EARTHLINGS! SHOW US YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AND IF WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WE SHALL DESTROY YOU"

And the worlds governments will send the Aliens all our greatest works of art, litrature, games and music and the Aliens wouldn't be the slightest bit impressed and destroy us all and as they survey the wreckage they discover a lone building that survived the Alien lazor beams.... a bakery.... and the Aliens enter this bakery and will sample our cakes and be like "Why didn't they show us this stuff? its frikken awesome, stupid earthlings"


So yeah... to sum it up... cake gives me hope... in all the dark depressing crap we do, we can still bake an awesome Gateau

 

[crudus]

I have noticed that people want to hire me because I am good at what I do and I raise morale in the workplace rather than the fact that I look good in a suit. Also Prop 8 being deemed unconstitutional.

Stephen Fry. He's magical.


EDIT: Okay, I'd forgotten how critical Mr Fry gets of religion towards the end there. I apologise if I offended anyone. That video just inspires my personal view quite well. And it has Stephen Fry, who, as I said before, is truly magical.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Socialism is the only ideology that makes me hopeful for the future of humanity.

edit-

There are people that give me hope for humanity too though. Mostly just the guys in my band, and a couple other select people.

Whenever I'm feeling depressed I always think about the day when I'll move next to a bakery (one specializing on sweet or bready stuff I don't care) and go there every morning and eat some of their lovely produce.... Mmmm... Vanilla Slice... Sausage Roll.... Baguette...
