Is humanity doomed?

After seeing this I think it is -

Disturbing.

It was doomed long before this.

Pedophiles will be the biggest viewer of this video, masturbating.

Humanity was doomed the moment Louis Walsh was born.

Oh so you were one of the posh kids then?!

We had a sheet of plexi-glass that we'd sit on and slide down the church steps. That was as exciting as it got.

True story.

Many civilizations lived on this planet happily without materialism for thousands of years.

Although, if I could use an analogy to describe human behavior in a materialistic world, a Judas Goat is pretty accurate.

A Judas goat is a trained goat used in general animal herding.
The Judas goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading them to a specific destination. In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared. Judas goats are also used to lead other animals to specific pens and onto trucks. They have fallen out of use in recent times, but can still be found in various smaller slaughterhouses in some parts of the world.



The Goat here is like the music industry (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna)

It is all debased, dehumanising, mind numbing poison. It is not music.

That's a load of piss. I listen to all sorts of music, from 13th century French troubadour songs to jazz to Katy Perry and believe me, Lady Gaga is far from 'debased, dehumanising, mind numbing poison'. She can sing and her songs are catchy. Frankly, that's all that matters.

I listen to all kinds of music too and I think Lady Gaga/Katy Perry are absolute rubbish.

You may as well include Boyzone and Westlife in your collection of music.

None of them write their own music anyway so what's really behind their popularity? Their image...that's it.

On the production end of things, the engineers/musicians create music with vague lyrics and sounds that evoke different kinds of emotion in the impressionable listener.

Attach emotions to lyrics through sounds even if the lyrics mean absolutely nothing at all... which is the formula for most popular music today.

Britney Spears, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga...It's all the same drivel, it's garbage.

If you're humming to this stuff . . .I doubt you've really listened to Jazz at all.

The "musical" equivalent of Big Macs. Mass produced, processed crap that is bad for your health. Good music nourishes the spirit, the likes of Gaga decay it.

Consumerism? Fine. People need to consume.

Hyper-consumerism to the detriment of people's health and wellbeing, the environment, and the level of hyperconsumption of an individual being used as a measure of the value of a human being? Not so fine.

In fact, I'd say short-sighted and destructive. But hey, go ahead and ignore the massive landfills, the industrial contamination of the environment, finite resources and infinite desires, kids dying for need of a cheap vaccine in some places while billions chase a 'cure' for hair-loss suffered by fat old men in another.

Her parents should be rounded up and thrown into a Siberian prison or whatever the closet thing there is to a Gulag right now. Sickening to see that level of greed in one so young. hopefully in 200 years time we won't be judged on this, I can only hope.

If it helps me lead a more thrifty and fulfilling life then sure. It'd be money well spent.

Btw I'm not anti-consumerist. People have to consume by their very nature (food, shelter, heat etc). It's the pushing of consumption for consumption's sake that I take issue with. Fat kids being driven ½ a mile to school in Hummers and that type of thing.

I think Sophia Grace should be given an award for encouraging girls her age to embrace running around in short skirts and keeping pedophiles everywhere happy.

If necrophiliac Jimmy Savile were still alive, he'd be stuck in the middle of 20x Sophia Grace wannabes.... reminding them the dirty evils of abstinence.

faustino1

It's the responsibility of the pop industry to teach young girls below the age of the 10, the evil of abstinence.

< 10 years, they should be dancing around a pole in preparation for the real world....they need to have something to fall back on.

Who needs an education when you can dance around a pole?

Yes, we should encourage young girls to embrace this monetary system.
Pole dancing, dressing up like hookers with push up bras, it's perfectly normal.

Pedophiles will thank you for it.

Commodification of women exists already with artists like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Brtiney Spears, Girls Aloud and now Sophia Grace.

Someone asked earlier if humanity was doomed.....
Look at the people influencing young girls today...seems pretty clear to me.

I wonder what was the average murder rate in Ireland for each decade of last 100 years. I'd love to see the stats on that.

People will always complain that things are going to hell. They have always done so and will continue to do so. It's just not in our nature to be happy with the way things are.

We have been constantly improving since we first appeared on this planet. Medicine and technology are constantly evolving giving people longer and better quality of life. Without consumerism those things will advance much slower.

A good example of that is the 3D printer. It was first designed as a novelty for printing toys, it didn't really have any serious function. It has evolved and now it is being used to print replacement parts for the human body. Somebody recently had a chunk of their skull successfully replaced by a 3D printed piece of skull. They are currently researching how to make an organ scaffold by 3D printing for use with stem cells. If that is successful then organ donation will be a thing of the past and the average life expectancy and quality of life will make a significant jump. All thanks to consumerism.
