Vulgar and proud. This is praiseworthy. Amidst the current political situation the vulgar in the specific sense of the semi-illiterate must constitute both a culture (or, a "sub-culture') and a specific special interest which might, one day, earn the right of the "special categories" as they are called in the American system. dixi
Vulgar and proud.

You're not adding much to the conversation YOU started. So what's your view or definition besides shooting possums in the Ozarks?

"If any society (or
civilization) starting out were to only have TEN rules to make what rules would you chose?"
1: The Individual owns himself.
2: The Individual has an inviolate right to his life, his liberty, and his property.
3: The Individual's life, liberty, or property are only forfeit, in part or whole, if he willingly, knowingly, and without just cause, deprives, in part or whole, another of his life, liberty, or property.
You only need three.
Follow those and get:
civilization!

Civilisation is the story of the scientific / philosophical / religious / historical / economic / social / political
development of nations and empires and cultures across time and one that is in a constant state of evolution

Civilization is where the 10% sociopaths use knowledge amassed by the 10% intelligents to rule/exploit the 80% idiots.
