I always knew the world is getting worse and worse, but thanks to this post I know now that the world is just FUCKED up compared to 50 some years ago. lets build a time machine... haha
The world has always progressively gotten worse since humans began evolving above the the rest of the earth species. We take what we are naturally supposed to do out of everything, and consider anything "animalistic" to be wrong. At least thats my opinion. Why are we so scared of being like other species. I mean think about missionary position. Heaven forbid we have sex in the same positions that other animals do. Its like that with everything. Not to mention there is absolutly no natural selection anymore. No matter how stupid you are, you can survive and reproduce. I think that the human species is going to head into a decline in intelligence.
For some reason, I can't stand when people say this. I completely agree, I'll say... But still, announcing it to people doesn;t do shit, other than make them say, "Yeah, I know, right?" Write a paper about it. Put copies all over the school. make it a kickass paper of course. Put it in Starbucks or some shit. Thanks for the idea. I believe I'm going to type a dan good paper, and just hand it out. SOMEBODY'S gotta read it... if not... atleast I have organized my beliefs into a great paper and can defend myself when I decide to complain about it to the man behind me at the store. So many topics...
agreed have you seen the movie idiocracy? its hilarious rent it. its about how in the future everyone is going to be stupid. but yea society is fucked up now a days. shits gotta change
