    I have been hearing strange and stupid things that are happening in the world lately, here are a couple i have heard:

    1. The world is making a bigger deal about flappy bird than the threat of a Nuclear war.

    2. Ive heard that people are taking the whole Copy Righted thing too far, famous youtubers are now getting in trouble for posting their original creations bcuz a random person decides to claim it as their own even though its not theirs, and i've started hearing things like fans of Glee saying things like the band Queen stole Bohemian Rhapsody from Glee or that Journey stole Dont Stop Believin from Glee.

    i mean seriously? wat has happen to our world?

    if ya know any other crazy things please feel free to comment em here so i can see how else the world is falling apart xD

    The second one - I couldn't agree more.

    Once my most viewed video (which had 200k videos, no joke) got taken down by a random guy who did a copyright claim, and I lost rights to do certain things on YouTube because of that. I had to re-upload it as a 2-part video.

    Considering that there is no legitimate threat of nuclear war and Flappy Bird doesn't even exist anymore, the first one is wrong.

    But the second one...

    Well, there is one true thing of copyright: Sky and other big youtubers land servers stole One In The Chamber and BuildIt from Jerry and Harry, who made both minigames themselves :P
    Anyway, if you want to talk about what this world is coming to, people are infested with disease, a supervolcano will cover North America with ash, oil is being used with limited alternatives, the world is being taken with threats of overpopulation, terrorists are being let out of jail by the Obama Administration, riots are occurring nearly everywhere, and the ever stable leader Kim Jong Un is still hanging out with Dennis Rodman.
    Yeah,this is quite the world :P

    I think we just need to party, have fun, let loose and remember what life is really about: LIVIN' IT!
    C'mon guys, let's make the most of it. :D Here is a song to get us started. :) At 0:22 is when it really starts

    Flappy bird caused more damage than a nuclear bomb ever could.

    Just to let you know, I wouldn't be so ignorant to just do that.
    You guys all party and do all dat shiet like smoking drinking wine, whatever you do.

    But you don't realize that the world is decaying from the littering after all the parties you guys throw. Even outside, not only in parties, but everyday over 20,000 pounds of plastic are dumped into the ocean each hour.

    Yeah, these are true facts. And to show you just why you need to stop being ignorant about what's happening around you, while you guys just party your butts off and do all that inappropriate porn shit, I don't really care.

    I'm gonna paste some stuff that might get you started on what you guys are missing out while your out there wasting off your life on some caffeine drugs. (Yes, caffeine is a drug.)

    Just to illustrate the degree of biodiversity loss we're facing, let’s take you through one scientific analysis...
    • The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.*
    • These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year.
    • If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true - i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on
    • our planet** - then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.
    • But if the upper estimate of species numbers is true - that there are 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet - then between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year.
    *Experts actually call this natural extinction rate the background extinction rate. This simply means the rate of species extinctions that would occur if we humans were not around.
    http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/biodiversity/biodiversity/


    But if you want to continue partying and wasting your own life off of some stupid temporary party, you should at least know that extinction ISNT temporary. It's permanent.

    And also, i'm telling you guys this so you can actually pick things up when you throw something into the trash next time. I know you guys, at least 80% of you have littered at least once, and not cared to put back a bottle in a fucking trash can. It's that easy. But you guys say "gghialshdl im too tireeedd." This isn't the 80's anymore. Cheetahs, rhinos, tigers, are going extinct. Just please bear to read this and not flag it as spam, for your ignorance would only make less of a difference, and wear down your intellect. It would be the right-and the smart thing to do, if you guys actually bared to read all the way down here. If so, thank you.

    Thank you for making a difference. It's not too late...Yet.

    Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

    Let's point out some things that are wrong here.

    1. We are not "possibly facing nuclear war." This isn't 1980, we're not in a "Cold War." North Korea is not a real threat, Russia would never do that, and Iran can't even make weapons.

    2. "All that people care about is parties and twerking and sex"... Yes, because Miley Cyrus is definitely the only thing people care about. It's so ignorant to say that the only thing people care about is parties and sex.

    3. Stop spreading stupid "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" things. Nobody needs to obsess every day about "WE'RE GONNA FOKIN DIE GET THE AK-47." People like to have fun, you're supposed to live a happy life, not be crying over a stupid bomb every second of your life. Remember this phrase, YOLO?

    4. Once again, Magical shouldn't have fun in her life and should sit at home crying about a bomb all day? Would you rather go to a fun party or sit in your house preparing for a nuclear attack that will never happen in your lifetime?

    6. "bomb capable of obliterating an entire country"
    Yeah... if the country you're talking about is freaking Vatican City...

    You need to stop focusing on stupid bullcrap like that. Nobody should focus on stupid bombs every single minute of their life. You shouldn't waste your life sitting in a box thinking about explosions, you should spend your life the way you want to spend it. You only live once, so why would you want to spend it worried the whole time?

    It's also called being pessimistic in a sense.
    Think about it, you're exaggerating.
    Oh, nuclear war? Loss of species?

    Alright then. Worry about it if you'd like. But I have a question for you.

    If you're so worried about something, then why don't you do something about it?

    You're probably going to respond with "we can't".



    Aannnndd there's the point.

    You are worrying about something that is not under your control.

    Quit worrying about things that you have no power or influence to control, and live your life to its fullest.

    Because hey, if it did happen, at least you'd know that you didn't regret being happy.

    Oh yeah, if one person tells a small group of kids from the age of 10-16, cheetahs and rhinos will magically come back to life again.


    Saving extinction is the job of the public speakers, who send us a message, and we follow it. It's not up to us to completely devote every single minute of our already busy life to do something that won't reach many.

    I appreciate your effort, but it's not really necessary at this time, and age, for us all.

    There's over 100+ people on the forums...
    Just so you know, even if it doesn't reach many, doesn't mean this won't help. -.-


    If you think you need a large group to save something, that doesn't mean a small group can't HELP.

    And it IS necassary, what your saying right now is....disgusting.........its embarrasing for me to even read it.

    Seriously? Dude, a 12 year old has a degree in MEDICAL CANCER RESEARCH. (Its true, I can prove,) and your saying AGE AND TIME MATTER? Well, considerably it may be too late eventually, but really, your being so stereotypical right now. Lots of KIDS have made changes to the world, even under 10 years.

    If your still against this, I suppose you've never known what it's like to actually look at the world in a positive view.
    You should try it sometime. o_O
