no, hunter-gatherers are more simple than western civilisation, simplicity has its own advantages...less stress, etc...Riet said:We're to cynical because it's blatantly obvious that western civilisation is better than being a hunter-gatherer?
Then that's not understanding. Understanding is the ability to debate for either side of the argument. The ability to see the pros and cons of every belief system. Only the ignorant pick a side and never stray from it.cxlxoxk said:No, its despite their reasons behind their views, which may be rational and reasoned, i still think it is too cynical, along with other things ("stupid" may i say).

can you sympathise with my sort of views???moll. said:Then that's not understanding. Understanding is the ability to debate for either side of the argument. The ability to see the pros and cons of every belief system. Only the ignorant pick a side and never stray from it.
Anyone who truly knows the reasons and rationale behind both sides of an argument will automatically become a moderate. Picking sides is impossible when you can sympathise with both views.
You've never even heard of the book? I think you need to get out a bit more. Keep up with literature classics. It's reasonably acceptable to have never heard of something like Fyodor Dostoevsky and his Brothers Karamazov, but it's not acceptable for someone involved in an intellectual debate to not even know who Eric Blair (who uses the pen name of George Orwell) is and what his works are.cxlxoxk said:can you sympathise with my sort of views???
i'll go read 1984, and see what's in that book that was mentioned b4...
I have heard of the book, i just never read it...moll. said:You've never even heard of the book? I think you need to get out a bit more. Keep up with literature classics.

lol god your pathetic... obviously you googled who he was and are now trying to display your 'intelligence' through posing questions which you already know the answer to.cxlxoxk said:I have heard of the book, i just never read it...
I read lots of books...cut down on my reading since end of hsc, i think last non-fiction book i read was "The Art of War" Sun Tzu...
Oooh George Orwell, is he the guy that wrote Animal Farm???
No i read George Orwell's Animal Farm b4, haven't read 1984...Hagaren said:lol god your pathetic... obviously you googled who he was and are now trying to display your 'intelligence' through posing questions which you already know the answer to.

Yes, i can sympathise with your views. In fact, many of your views are my own. But i'm arguing with you because you're an idiot and are taking your views too far to the extreme. Also because you obviously have no idea about what the counter-arguments are.cxlxoxk said:can you sympathise with my sort of views???
I know, i just like to read...moll. said:Yes, he is.
The Art of War is pointless reading for someone our age unless you're doing a business management degree or are studying at the RMC Duntroon. Ditto for The Prince.

Lol, just lol!John_Oliver said:Furthermore the UN seems to think humanity has a right to genocide, given how complicit they have been in helping dictators commit it.
Lol them adapting to changes we brought...walkahz said:Ah fuck i cant beleive I am getting in this.
The true mark of a civilisation is their abillity to adapt!
If the Aboriginies were superiour (spelling) they would have adapted to the changes (not to mention they made very few advances during their thousands of years on the continent).
They did not adapt so they died it is as simple as that.
They are given every opportunity that whites are if not more cough welfare cough.
I belive the government should cut welfare to aboriginals for a year. Maybe that will make them get a job. It will also probably cause a rise in the crime rate however (they wont be able to afford booze so they will steal it).
