This plane being shot down, while Israel begin a ground invasion in Gaza with the 'staunch support' of my country's government. The world has gone insane.

I don't even know what to say any more about this world. I guess there will always be some for of war and fighting between and within countries.

I don't understand why people are still shocked by bad things happening in the world. After the Holocaust and Jeffrey Dahmer I think it's safe to say that nothing has been, is, or ever will be off the table.

and Dahmer only scratches the surface in a long line of serial killers.

I'm optimistic and always aspire to something better, and a lot of people are like that. It's one of my favourite things about humans.

The same two billion years of biological and cultural evolution have led led both Ted Bundy and Martin Luther King Jr. to be the men they were, and that doesn't diminish the actions of either. It only makes sense to see humanity for what it is if you're going to have any realistic optimism for its future development, or else you're just sticking your head in the sand. I'm optimistic about humanity's future as well. Our appreciation for life in general seems to be at an all time high. We're talking about giving dolphins legal protection as persons for god sake. But on the other hand we're still molesting children, raping women, obsessing over the lives of celebrities to the point of stalking, bullying children to the point of suicide, and engaging in almost never ending war. It is what it is.

Look on the bright side, would this had happened 80 years ago it would have sparked a world war. I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon.

I wonder what conspiracies this will spark. I'm going to keep an eye on my high school stoner friends' Facebook feeds, I'm sure something will pop up soon.

I certainly hope not! The plane that got shot down over the Ukraine will potentially spark a potentional war with Russia (if it's proved to be them) or maybe it will force Russia to get out of Ukraine from intense political pressure and sanctions. Is it crazy that I'm stocking up on food and survival products? I'm very safe in NZ but you never know what's ahead.
