Bravo, Sir.

This ain't about women ... it's about idiots believing that all humans should be equal,
leading to all humans being equally dumb, because it's the dumb ones being offended the most !


CaterIng to the lowest common demonominator will be the death of our species.

This is one reason Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies; seems almost prophetic.


I don't know about that.

It might be the death of our current civilization, but I'm pretty sure us being the dominant species on Earth has shown that caring for even the dumbest specimen is a winning strategy - as far as survival of the species as a whole goes.


I'd argue that caring for the weakest among us is a relatively new trait to our species, so let's not jump to conclusions on that. Lol

You are probably right, it could be the death of our civilization, not necessarily our species; although I will argue our intelligence is the factor that makes us the dominate species, so if we lose that, what is to stop the ants from taking over?



Look at a group of Chimpanzee or Gorillas. They will not abandon an old member of their pack or the sick. They will care for it. Would be pretty safe to say that early man also cared for members within their social group like that.

What happens, to let's say, a sick or old Zebra? It will get targeted by the lions and the rest of the Zebras will be happy it wasn't they who got eaten. They don't defend or care for the sick specimen. If they could, they'd probably trip the sick Zebra or something when the lions charge at them, lol

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

I think we are talking about to different levels here. You are describing a family dynamic, and yes families caring for each other has shown to be effective. I'm talking more on societal level. Governments, Corporations, etc. our species has thrived on the aggressive and strong subjugating the weak; this is what drove advancement of our species, the strong taking from the weak.

I used to be a person that thought everyone deserves a chance and we should care for everybody; but after spending time in the world, I've learned people become dependent on others to care for them way to easily. Give a man a fish...

As I've aged and gained experience, I've seen that caring for the weak only keeps them weak; when the weak are forced to fight to survive, they can then become strong...

I won't kid you though, I don't claim to be one of the strong...

Good question. I'd place him in the strong. His intelligence grants him that strength. Compare Hawkings to your own local paraplegic, you will see Hawkings' strength provides him with a higher standard of living (assuming your local paraplegic is not the child of an extremely wealthy family that takes care of him/her).

Of note, not all the strong need to subjugate the weak, however, the strong should not coddle the weak as well. Conflict and competition is what drives the weak to become strong. Some are born naturally stronger (actually part of the post that started this discussion), others have to struggle for it. Either way works, the strong should not be hamstringed to protect the weak.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us no very little about early man, especially when you consider that the common misconception is a man with a club over one shoulder hauling a women home on the other.

I don't know about that, I've seen plenty of episodes of the Flintstones, think I have a pretty good idea of what it was like.

Agreed good sir.

I do my best to be fair and decent with everyone I know and come into contact with.

If I fail, it is a lack of ability on my part rather than the desire to do anyone down.

However, it never fails to amaze me, the number of people who mistake my desire to be nice to folk for weakness and lack of purpose in life.

Ah apathy, ignorance's side kick in the downfall of our civilization. It's fine to not think about it and just enjoy life until someone tries to prevent you from enjoying life, then it becomes relevant and one wishes they took more of an interest in it.

Nah you got it all wrong, It's not apathetic to focus on the little wonders, rather it's about choosing to focus on what's really important instead of getting caught up in all the superficial crap modern society seems to shovel on the masses in order to keep us in a perpetual state of distraction and conflict. It's not about being apathetic at all, it's about taking a stand for the sake of one's sanity, and choosing not to play the social games of a society that has traded it's sense of decency and empathy, for a nihilistic pop culture of flavor of the moment crap.

I'd rather laugh and go fishing, listen to the birds, and enjoy things that make this short and precious life worth the effort of putting up with all the crap humanity creates.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this. We do not live in isolated bubbles and ignoring the society around you is not the solution in my opinion. If current society is so horrible, why not fight to change it. Complacency is the same as commiting the acts yourself.

Of course maybe I am misreading your post, and not fully understanding the intent.
