I didn't give a damn about your happiness; that my happiness was more important ?
Why would I slap a shoe tin?
Aah...

the shoe tin

Trouble is, I did think
I didn't understand what a 'shutin' was; then I decided to be 'funny' with your request to be slapped...with the suggestion that it would not make me happy...

My attempt to lighten mood failed.
Should have gone with a turd-ish slap after all...

Maybe too much divergence?

That's the argument for convergence, right there, what happened above. People becoming more alike would lead to understanding one another better.
If the whole world converges, fascism becomes impossible, as does every other extreme nationalism or partisanship. Without an enemy on whom to focus all the people's resentment and anxiety, the power-mad can't promote militarism. And, of course, as serious as the present problems are, co-operation would be optimal - perhaps life-saving. (Obviously, evolution is much too slow: in order to evolve, we'd have to survive another twenty millennia.)

The cosmopolitan New World cities are making some progress toward homogeneity through intermarriage, but the far greater portion of mankind is kept behind borders, never mixing with very different types. International media and internet connection allows us glimpses of those do not look like ourselves, and teach us about other cultures; more people everywhere are becoming bi- or multi-lingual; international commerce allows us to become familiar with new kinds of food, clothing, vehicles and technological devices; quite a large number is affluent enough to travel. Oddly enough, the most convergence-causing phenomenon is crisis. With so many and frequent disasters, both natural and man-made, all over the world, emergency aid brings people together as nothing else can: we suffer the same way and help the same way, whatever else we may do differently.

So, that's the other side.

Where is the Understanding pill ?
Would it be right to slip it into the freshwater supply?

Only if you put the sane pill in first. (the small green one; costs about $0.02 to produce and sells for $0.03 to cover packaging and delivery)

The thing is i knew exactly what he and while i may have seemed aggressive.
It would only ever be with words.

Saying something and doing are two completely different things.

Converging psychologically to me is a horror near equal to eternal life.

and i dont understand this.

"With so many and frequent disasters, both natural and man-made, all over the world'

how did you come by that.?
There are no more "natural" such now than there ever was [less in fact]
Try a Krakatoa or a asteroid strike .. thats a disaster
i'll get pasted for this but i think is all a symptom of the pussyfication of our speacies.
i know a therapist who says kids are bought in that are so coddled and weak they cant hold a pen straight.. the parents
wont even let them play in the dirt cause of 'germs'

News, mostly. Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, nuclear plants, tornadoes, ice-storms, hurricanes, oil spills, wildfires, floods, famines, wars - every couple of weeks, something, someplace is hurting people who don't deserve to be hurt. A lot of it is probably due to climate change, which is a collaboration of man and his nasty little vengeful gods, and that will only get worse.

[paste] stop that![/paste] What've you got against pussy?
Real men go around slashing each other with sharp implements - yeah! All women ever do is make food, raise kids, build shelters, bandage wounds, teach people to read...

Those are two temporary issues affecting part of a class that's about to die out anyway, so who cares?

"Those are two temporary issues affecting part of a class that's about to die out anyway, so who cares?"

what i want to know is HOW 'they' will die out.

or will they become as it has always been. the ruling class.

pussy?

I'm not sure. Inbreeding, outbreeding, revolutions, the total breakdown of moneterism; extreme pussyfication, terminal technology; they all converge on the ultimate walled community on some sub-arctic island http://www.city-data.com/city/Akutan-Alaska.htmlhttp://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/al ... 03871.htmlthat only the very rich can get to... and it has a vulcano under it! Whatever: there are so few of them, it wouldn't take much.

or will they become as it has always been. the ruling class.

It's not the same genetic line. If it had been, we'd have cut off their heads before history started to be written, and history would be quite different. Trouble is, the same traits are on all of our DNA, and bits of it keep surfacing.

pussy?

Are you asking or offering?

Skip

if i was asking i'd hire a jet.

i have none to offer

to re align with op

How would you prefer to eliminate prejudice?

i'd kill all who did not agree with me and grovel. the riddick who says
is not part of the plan
the plan were all are same. and in gory of god me bow.

so goes the psychosis of humanity

Well, that'll larn me to ask a silly6 question!
