Thats because you live in a mythical world of the 'noble savage' and some 'golden age'.
Don't blame me for your crap, your meaning, not mine.
Ah! Thats right, the only meaning you're concerned with is yours. "Bloodlines" have a long and dubious history. Given that we now know "bloodlines" are nonsense why not just say descendants or family.
One can only act to their morals for themselves, you might want to wrap me up as one of some group, because you subscribe to being a, so called, modern day, clone, but you mistake me for being like you, I am no clone. I do not go along with any group, I am an island.
And as such will be shouting to yourself for some time to come.
All things you use as weapons, as if you could know people, merely because they post words here. You are an abuser, as with your emoticons, and this that you say above, an elitist, to maim, and try and step on people with words and gestures, from the safety of a computer keyboard, not because it's just, but rather an outlet for your hate, that you'd never express in ones presence as then the total package of humanity is in play, that which you fear the most, equality, by whatever means to balance the equation.
I've expressed this opinion and rolled my eyes to a Yanks face before and will be happy to do it again thanks. You think you'd call me a woman or gay to my face? Maybe you would but like I said, you've issues. Please save your psychobabble for you and your shrink.
Liar, one thing I know for sure is that you're largely a liar. You would deny your initial intent as to your nym, but your means of entertaining some, betrays the true intent. Arising UK, your bigotry shows it's many faces, Yank only being one of them, arguing as to who's country is better, arising UK, as if any countries actions speaks of any particular individual, or vice-verse, like children playing in a tit for tat putdown game.
You'll find that it is your fellow Yank who does this upon this forum. I post no such attacks upon others nations.
Your "knowing for sure" is up there with your gender 'intuition' and your accusations are, as usual, false and based largely upon your failure to judge others as not like yourself.
So just for you; my nik was chosen by random circumstance when, way back, I was thinking-up an FPS username and was stumped. At the time BBC Radio 4 was playing its shipping forecast and I kept hearing "rising" so I thought, "That'll do!". The "_uk" I attach to every username I create as a long time back I got sick of the "This username has been taken" error message and found that these three characters are easy for me to remember and pretty much guarantee uniqueness. As I'm lazy and also like to reduce links on the weeb, when I came here I just added an "A" to my FPS nik, as it seemed to work and spelt soemthing I could easily remember. Unlike you I can't be arsed to waste my thoughts thinking up something to reflect my ego, spheres of bonkers or is that bollocks indeed!
Quit your lying, you knew right from the start, just another example of your dishonesty, as you try and twist ones words, to your meaning, as if it were actually true that ones meaning is necessarily found in another's response. You're full of horseshit, you know that?
There you go again! Doing exactly what you decry in others. So no, I think not. Unlike you apparently I feel no need to lie in this medium, as what point? If I was guilty of anything it was in not paying much attention to your words and just thinking them yet another diatribe about killing those who poach or do 'nasty' things to our fellow animals.
My words mimicked to a tee, exactly that which they, and you by association, in their defense, do, though the shoe was merely on the other foot. Funny how humans always think something's OK as long as it's not them that's being treated badly, relativity, people should take more notice of the truth of their concepts, how they pertain across the board.
If you read my reply you'll see I make no such excuse. All I hope in your hypothetical is that they don't take your approach to things as we'll soon be extinct if they do.
What did you say about naivete? ...
I said you were and, unlike you, I don't assume that a positive intention means that the other acts in what I would understand in a moral way.
To defend myself against bigots like you, I've had enough of your kind, smug in your sense of self righteousness, merely a clone of others ideas. You think I have no education, but you're wrong. One of my History professors mentioned how sometimes what one learns at college is not what one should assimilate, but what they should avoid at all costs, you and I just saw them differently. And I would venture to say that I've seen far more in real life, than you've merely read about, for me that supersedes ideas in a book, because if in fact the constructs of mans civilization collapse, the book worms shall be meat, while those that have actually lived their lives, shall either be the ones eating meat, or watching the spectacle of both, from afar, singing to their own free tune, because they can. If the economy continues to take a nose dive, I know how to live off the land, do you? What's those books for? Kindling? I seriously hope you've read more than philosophy books.
I have and can grow veg. But lmao at your 'live off the land', straight out of the American cultural box. Economies go up and down, empires rise and fall and life goes on.
I'm interested in your fantasy tho' as according to you there'll be no land to live off? Also, given you think of yourself as an island I can assume that you're also a doctor, chandler, veterinarian, smith, carpenter, seamstress, cobbler, et al? As to survive man cannot be an island but part of a community.
You know what's funny, since, just before I attended university, I've always told kids to make sure they get an education, to go to college, not for anyone else but themselves. But I fucked up. I should have said something else. I should have shown them a picture of you and said, "but what ever you do, don't turn out like this freak, (your picture), and believe you're better than anyone else, just because you have more time in a sterile classroom, as all things are relative, as to their importance in any given frame of reference, such that where ever you may find yourself, you must be capable of blending in to the surroundings, as your life may depend upon it." It's far better to take my lead, as being a jack of all trades. I've been all kinds of things, and no one yet, has gotten the better of me. I am diversity. Though I've mastered none, not enough time. You see, I learned long ago, that one that starts one thing and sees it through to the end, knows that one thing well, they are a master. But if that one thing goes out of style or is no longer capable of sustaining one then they are lost, back to the beginning they go. But one that does many things, well, they always have a platform to fall back on, if what they did becomes undo-able, they may not be masters at the new, but they surely aren't beginners either. Not to mention that they're more capable at handling a broader range of their own affairs without the need to employ others. No, being specialized is more of a burden than a gift. It's why many professionals are still looking for work here in the US, that's commensurate, as to pay, with that of what they made before 2008. Their specialization has left them wanting.
No, whats left them wanting is that they have not adapted to the reality that they can't get paid the same amount but once they do they'll get a job as in the situation you describe there is downward pressure on jobs and, as usual, it'll be those at the bottom without qualifications who'll suffer the most as employers would rather employ those who have shown application.
For myself, given we've adopted a style of the US system of education, i.e. debt to pay for it, I tell my kids to think long and hard about what they wish to study as they're going to need to find work to pay off their debts.
The rest of your diatribe I'll just put down to your psychological issues.
For much of my early life I involved myself in political activities, no matter how little a contribution I could make. I'll take no such guff from you as from what you say you spent much of yours helping build more efficient ways of killing people.
