If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

Blah blah blah enviroment
John hates the enviromental debate now, its all "the world is going to hell" "all the species of our planets are going exticnt". And all of our celebrities are going on television saying we must save our planet now, but how? By donating tons of money to greenpeace or any other cheritable organization?
Fuck it.
What John belives is that this is a part of a cycle our world is going through, and have gone through millions of years now (no apologies to you who belive the world is 6000 years old, John will come back to you guys later).
Sure, John belive Man has something to do with it, but not causing it all. John thinks we just sped up this cycle, but saying we caused all this is just plain ignorance and stupidity. If you look at the data collected from the last hundred years, nothing says were gonna flod earth in some measly life times. And fuck all the tree huggers that belive all the trees in the world should be spared, and belive trees are communicating with them? Trees are plants! not animals or human beeings. Its like they would rather have all the trees in the world rather than lexicons, medical books and so on. So we`re to learn all by memory and pass it on? yeah sure, that`ll end well.
Its true were losing a lot of forest, but its not because our need of paper or wood, its because alot of poor people are trying to grow food and earn alot of money out of this, to provide for their families. Fact is, in north america there is almost as much forest now as there were a 100 years ago. And the reason is because we use so much wood to build houses, people are guilted to think that every time you go and buy lumber you are destroying the earth, but that is far from the truth, when you order lumber you are ordering more trees to be planted. This is something we have to do in order to house our population and keep the forest from not vanishing
And the exticion debate, John dont think at all well loose 50 000 spieces a year as WWF and Greenpeace proclaims. And they blame it on logging, as everything else.
Best science say approx 1% of our world species will go extinct in the next 100 years!
There is no need to spread fear around the enviroment anymore, its out there already,
Of course there are problems with the enviroment, and its a natural thing to want to save the earth, its a special feeling. But if we dont stop to think and do some research, we will waste our time.
It`s easy to feel like a hero, but to be one?
Worst trend ever!
Fuck it.

Johns new blog
Hello people, this blog is going to be about John, my alter ego and his interests, wich cover a great deal of things and stuff in this round blue speck in the universe we live in.
Let me start off to tell you a little bit of John.
John is not a real person. But i like to think he is.
I "met" John a few months back when i was lying on my couch and was bored out of my mind.
John slowly approached me in my head and started to talk to me about things that blew my mind, science, religion, politics, gaming, food etc etc.
We ended up sitting talking for several hours about all kinds of topics, wich i really enjoyed.
It`s not such a big surprise that we enjoy the same things you might say, but that is far from it.
John is a completley different person than me, or well in a sense he is. He is a person that can make you feel smart and stupid in one swift sentence. He is a person who can make you laugh and cry in the next.
You catch my drift. John once said to me that even if all the people in the world could understand and tolerate each other we`d still be a fucked up species. I like to think he is right.
