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.

Sex isn't forbidden, but isn't it reasonable to not be grinding with your girl/man in front of everyone? Nudity? Don't make me laugh. Since the beginning of time, man has covered his body with anything available, not because it was shameful, to keep warm. Throughout the ages, mankind has grown accustomed to clothing, and that's why we wear them consistently nowadays. Warmth is the root cause.

Technology is not something to be made, it is something to be advanced. If you think electricity is a stupid invention then get off your damned computer, and quit paying your bills. This isn't JUST American Society either you know? This happens ALL over the world. In other industrialized nations and in developing countries, the same exact thing. Since before the time of Christ there were vendors that sold food and clothing, so don't bitch about modern society's supposed flaws.

Humans are the opposite of weak, buddy. Of course we are going to manipulate nature to better suit our needs. Every animal on the face of the earth does. Birds take sticks to make a nest. Same principal, we use our surroundings to better suit our needs. We take advantage of our resources to advance our society. Would you rather we live in an aimless society with no goals other than stay at the same state of being that it exists in at the present? No, you wouldn't you damned caveman.

This wouldn't be a problem if humans hadn't already become so weak that babies could not fend for themselves and use instinct to keep themselves alive.


I can't even believe you would say anything like that. Serious and profound shock. I won't even extend my views on that idiotic statement.

The point is, is that humans WERE hunter-gatherers, buddy. At the same time we were inventors. Since our creation we have been striving to better advance the technology put at our disposal. And we will keep striving to advance, no matter how un-logically disgusting you think the thought is.
