I'm sure several of you will disagree with me, but that's perfectly fine because after all, this is in debate. I considered putting it in the lounge, but yeah, I figured it'd might end up as a debate.

Okay, my opinion right now is that society and the human race is pathetic, stupid and overly restrained.

Since when is sex and nudity so forbidden? It's the human body! Why be ashamed? Why are people so afraid to show what everyone else has! And why is reproducing and looking at the act of reproduction suddenly sinful? No other animal has this kind of restraint. As well as kissing, making out, showing affection. Why are parents so hesitant about letting their kids do those things? Don't tell me because they're too young because then you'd be proving my point. The rules of propriety are absolutely ridiculous.

The object of life is to survive, but look what mankind did! They made technology and electricity and all these stupid devices, so now humans are so weak, they have to go to a store to get their food. They have to go to the store to buy their clothing. What a waste of time and effort to make these things! Humans are so stupid and useless, they can't farm or hunt or do things self-sufficiently because there will be a grocery store a few blocks away where they can buy everything they need with paper!

Why are humans so weak? Because they manipulated nature and took advantage of it. They made factory farming, to kill millions of animals every day for the sake of mankind. They made factories, cars, cigarettes that are slowly destroying the atmosphere. They're cutting down trees for their own convenience, while driving all the animals that live there to extinction, but it's not doing anything! It's making human kind WEAKER!

How is it making us weaker? BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON THESE CAPITAL RESOURCES. We're so weak now, that if you tossed us into a forest, we wouldn't last but for a week or two. Do that to us in the stone age, when what we focused on was survival, and we could live. But now, humans depend on what they've created and the earth is completely haywire.

Animals are much better off than we are as far as survival skills. We think we're so great and strong and mighty, but really, if you strip a man naked and toss him into the wild, he'd be dead meat in a matter of days. We're not even animals anymore. We're so strange, we think we're so special, we're a whole different species.

Please don't post on here telling me how stupid I am. That's rude and unnecessary. Thanks.

No, but you see, when most animals have promiscuous sex, they leave their young to die off, thus maintaining the population equilibrium. In human society, we care for even the babies of strangers with welfare and stuff, so understandably, we don't want strangers having any more babies than they need to be having.

That's because the few people that do farm are so good at it that they can give food to the rest of us, and the rest of us can build things like guns, that make them strongers, and commodities, that make their lives more comfortable. So the reason most of us don't farm and hunt is because, as a species, we are too good at it--so we don't need everyone to do it.

Besides, humans have been hunting with tools forever--first with primitive sticks, where you'd need an entire village to bring down a large prey, then with bows and arrows, where you'd need a couple people, and now with high-powered rifles, where one man is enough. It's just a question of degree, not type.

Human beings are the strongest species--that's why we're killing all the other species.

The definition of being weak is being unable to defend yourself. But when you have the offensive, and other things are unable to defend themselves against you, that means that you have a superabundance of strength, not you are weak.

But no one is being tossed into the forest now. We've adapted to a technological society, because society is technological. Just because a mammal couldn't survive in the climate of 500 million years ago doesn't mean anything because mammals didn't live in that period.

If you shave the skin off a lion, tear its teeth out, and then toss him into the wild, he'd be dead meat in a matter of days too.

You use all the resources at your disposal. For humans, it's the division of labor.

And for the record, we are a whole different species--we can't copulate with other species to produce viable offspring.

Rude, perhaps, but I would question the unnecessary part.
