I wouldn’t leave all my friends and family behind so unless they’re coming with me or they’re already dead, then no.

I assume you mean one of the first few people up there too. So with the colonisation of the planet being in the early stages it really wouldn’t be very safe until a hundred years or so in the future. Too unpredictable otherwise.

Crazy that this will be reality in our lifetimes if all goes to plan.

a chunk of mars exists in Australia, it's called Uluru or Ayres rock. it's a giant red fucken rock and it's a piece of s--- i don't plan on ever seeing cause it's a fucken rock. same with mars lmao burn

Absolutely. I'd love to be in a group of the first humans to live on a planet other than earth. Humans that we know of of course.

 

Oct 31, 2017

f--- no, Mars is a s--- hole. there is nothing except the possibility that water used to exist there.

 

Oct 31, 2017

I’d visit there no question as it’d only take a couple of years out of your life but f--- living there and leaving everything behind

 

Oct 31, 2017

We'd obviously transport the things we need for survival like food and water. Plus we'd have to invest in new infrastructure.

This world is beyond repair. There's been so much evil perpetrated for centuries that I don't think it'll ever be corrected. Hopefully, global warming makes it so we have to leave earth and settle elsewhere. A new planet represents a fresh start for the human race. Assuming we learn from our mistakes and stop electing assholes into power.

worlds the safest it has been in centuries fam. when was the last crusade/genocide/war ? (don't say middle east, that is insignificant globally to the things I aalready listed)

 

Oct 31, 2017

Yeah it really wouldn’t take us long to go and f--- up another planet

 

Oct 31, 2017

Not at all. There would be thousands of ppl selected for such a project and they'll be from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Genetic diversity isn't a concern assuming this is something people of all backgrounds are interested in.

There have been 3 genocides since 1990. The ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the Myanmar government is sickening. There are too many conflicts to name right now. The US is still in a state of war even though the war started based on false information. There are humanitarian crisis occurring all around the world. From famine to the outbreak of disease to ppl being displaced due to violence and poverty. Greed has been a factor in crisis such as the opioid crisis in America and the mass imprisonment of us citizens. Thousands of ppl are known to be innocent and bombed by governments. Their justification being they are targeting terrorist targets or retaliating. America imperialism is ever present. Just look at the number of bases we have and the number of sovereign nations we occupy.

I agree with this but you never know. I think ultimately humans are too flawed and we'll end up being the cause of our own demise but you never know.

 

Oct 31, 2017

but still a small isolated case, compared to say the almost entirety of europe facing ethnic cleansing.

but they are all small and barely noticeable on a global scale, as I said.

well, yeah, that's a war technically, but again on a global scale really small compared to past wars.

Well yeah, not every country develops as fast as others. Lots of different factors there such as climate/environment/location etc etc. Some countries are still third world countries and are experiencing mistakes humans have made in the past for themselves so they may learn and grow from those experiences. (If I knew where you were from i'd give you an example - s it's easier to understand)

A lot of this is sidetracking from the point though, These are more issues in fear/deterrence/security. I'm not trying to justify it or whatever, it's just that it's been going on since the dawn of man kind.

Basically my point is, history shows us we are improving not getting worse.

 

Oct 31, 2017

How is genocide a small and barely noticeable event. It's the intentional eradication of a group of ppl on a large scale. Tell the ppl who were actual affected by this that it's insignificant. Those actions have long term effects beyond the actual act of killing thousands of ppl.

Are we actually improving though? We still suffer from the same sicknesses that our ancestors suffered from except we have no excuse for it. How is world hunger still a thing? We have the knowledge and resources to make this a thing of the past. And this isn't just a third world problem; in the US we have ppl that die of hunger, homelessness, and poverty. The richest nation in the world and we still have ppl suffering from things that ppl of the 1500's were plagued of. The biggest difference being we waste more food than will be needed to end the hunger problem in the US. We have large groups of ppl that die because they can't afford healthcare. From people in poor countries dying from preventable diseases to Americans dying because they can't afford healthcare. We still suffer from racism and nationalism. We reduce people down to concepts and we use that to justify the killing of thousands of innocent civilians. What have we actually learned from our past? How can you say it's getting better if we continue to repeat the same atrocities generation after generation?

stopped reading there. that's not what I said, I said it compared to genocide's of the past on a global scale is small. because it is. if people are offended by that they can get f----- it's not my problem.

Myanmar's genocide "may be in the thousands" according to the UN. WW2 Genocide numbers are in the millions.

get a grip and stop thinking you're doomed to live in some s--- hole, the earth is much better now than it was say 50, 60 years ago.

 

Oct 31, 2017

Well if you stopped reading there you missed the core of my argument. You're arguing it's not as bad as it was before. I'm not arguing against that. In terms of pure numbers it's not as bad. But the same actions being perpetrated in the past are still being committed now with no end in sight. So if we continue to commit the same acts and allow some of the same things to continue to happen (such as world hunger and the killing of innocent civilians) are we actually getting better as a people?

Also you're comparing a world war to genocide. Semantics aside the number of participants aren't the same. Im not sure the exact number of countries that participated WWII but it most likely exceeded 20 nations. Genocide is usually reserved to a single country. Since 1975 there has been millions of ppl killed in official acts of genocide.

 

Oct 31, 2017

because what is your argument exactly? we are doomed to live a horrible negative life forever because humans are s---? lol.

"no end in sight"
if you can't see a single genocide from 50 years ago totaling in the millions,
then a handful of genocides in the past 10 years totaling in the tens of thousands, as an improvement i dunno what to tell you man.

and again, the rest of your post is useless. I'm talking about the number of people In europe being genocided. not the total victims killed in the war (which is something ridiculous like 50-80 million)...

like there you go, you think we're so doomed and f-----... point to me one war, actually, 10 wars together in total that even come close to touching that 50-80 million.
