Life is not about what one CAN do or what one WANTS to do. It is and has always been about what one SHOULD do. Anything other than that is a slow road to Hel.

Exactly.

And it is up to each individual to choose for themselves what it is they should do.
 
Call it whatever you want, and it IS enforecable, in the right system. It works pretty well in large parts of the Middle East to this very day.

Did you ever consider America's geographic lengths a symptom of its inability to use resources to do such a thing? Or how the mechanisms for totalitarianism did not entirely exist until the early 20th century?

Face it, man, your idealistic platitudes are a dream world devoid of any historical or political reality.

You mean the part of the world where there is the most populist uprising against such enforcement that has ever happened in history and won't last?

That's fantasy. Wanting to believe in a better place, things that don't exist... fairies.

I am quite certain that you are well aware that is not what my qoute meant, sam. What one SHOULD do is rarely defined by the individual themselves. In fact only rarely is it defined by anyone other than the proper Authorities.

If one were to assume that to be so, then one would also have to suggest that humanity has no value whatsoever greater than that of an upright walking cockroach or the bubonic plague virus.

You're right that uprising won't last. Too much history and too many people tied to closely to it. It's not going to work.

That's fantasy. Wanting to believe in a better place, things that don't exist... fairies.

You would probably be shocked and sickened by some of the things I believe in, eco.

Or we could rather assume that the writer of such opinions simply needs to read more. It makes little sense to say something without any basis for it, no?

No, it is the authoritarianism that won't last.

Either such governments will fall by uprisings or will be conquered by better governments.

If that's the case, the people who make up authority are just as flawed.

Therefore, they are no more justified in making such decisions.

Therefore, individuals should make such decisions for themselves, and in so doing bear the responsibility if such decisions themselves.

I read more than enough, thank you very much. What I do not do is bend my opinions, philosophies, or views of the world for anything or anyone. I simply don't do it.

After wood fairies that no one else sees, the death penalty for smoking pot and thinking that beating women as a good thing... I'm not sure I could be shocked.
 
No, it is the authoritarianism that won't last. Either such governments will fall by uprisings or will be conquered by better governments.

At which point the human race will be that much closer to having no value, whatsoever.

Trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
 
Trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
If so, I fear you may in fact be an shining example of everything I consider wrong and bad in the universe. No offense...:2razz:
 
Trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Well, gime something. I seriously doubt that anything else you got can compare to the fairies, death penalty and domestic violence.

No, it is people who hold to authoritarianism who will face such an existential crisis.

The human race, however, will be just hunky-dory.

Clearly you don't have enough of a background. If you have little historical knowledge over the mechanisms of gender roles, it's hard to give proclamations for what ought to have been, how it ought to be now, and how it can be done.

Concentration camps. Forced breeding programs. Lack of basic human "rights" for non-citizens. The list goes on and on.

I have more than enough background. More importantly I have been taught the way things SHOULD be rather than blindly hoping for the way that people WANT things to be.

I must say, that's pretty shocking.

Are you sure? I see the opposite.
 
Don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to. That lesson's a freebee.

I wanted to know the answer. I just didn't think you could be more offensive than you already were. You got me.

Everything I have learned or been taught (not always the same thing ya know) indicates to me that the opposite is the case.

I know the way things should be, and you're the one blindly hoping for the way you want things to be. More or less.
