Answer 1

"lo que es bonito" ?..why "lo"? now im realy confused!!!

This is just Spanish sentence structure.

We can say:

"La inseguridad mata todo" (everything)

"La inseguridad mata lo que es bonito" (the thing that is beautiful)

Both ending clauses are direct objects and even if we join them, they must complete.

thank you. but why "es"? and not "sea" ?

Subjunctive is not required because you are simply stating a fact or a belief of yours. Even if you happen to be wrong, in your mind this is a fact, so indicative is the correct usage here.
