Holy molly mary and jesus…
I leave the board for A DAY and look what comes in…
Is this now a stray animal shelter? We're all going to be "humane" to each other?
Civil, perhaps — respectful or decent, maybe… but "humane" is too far, imho.
Anyhow…
Firstly — Hello Laz… this is the first time I've seen you here. Good to know you've noted the board's long an glorious history of cordiality and,.. uhm, lack of "immature assholes."
Welcome!
Those folks you grossly mischaracterized are regularly contributing members of this message board, and damned good ones at that. I suggest you not so quickly lambast — in "defense" or otherwise these individuals, as, I can tell you… you're coming from way out in FAR left field here, and those aren't the only feathers that'll be ruffled by you positing the likes of what you have here.
As to your "points…"
It isn't your Right to decide one way or another about anything for any other Human being — hazardous to their health or not, it is a moot point. The REAL hazard to anyone's health is having a nanny follow them for the length of their miserable life smacking their hand because they think they know so goddamned much better.
I don't care if you are Jesus Christ and you are "saving" me (and I mean this literally) — You can shove it! Save yourself buddy!
I'll do what I want and take licks as I do as a result of it — but I will be fucking damned if I'm going to let someone micromanage my every action because they think they are some sort of authority to me.
I don't care if you are right. I don't care if I DO die as a result of my actions — the point is, I lived a LIFE of FREE-WILL and possession of my OWN life; which is what makes it worth living in the first place.
If you aren't free to live unwisely; to die by your own hand — you certainly aren't free to live "wisely" or live by your own hand in the same right.
It's the most fundamental of logical paradoxes that says you aren't free to give up your freedom.
Freedom IS the freedom to give it up and use it unwisely.
Society only moves in one direction from the get-go, with that… and assumes the rest of us will just go along with those happily shackling themselves and putting baby monitors on their wrist so the omnipresent nanny-state can come and bring them back from any possible trouble to "save" them…
But I don't want that. The fact it's difficult to escape it, is obvious. Logan's Run wasn't a warning to some people — It was a model.
And I'm not going to stay in here, if you get my drift.
Sooner ill-health; death; and old age…
Than an eternity spent as a 19, or 25… never aging, never growing as a person…
The reason life MATTERS is because it is FINITE!
If you had an eternity to live it; if you could do EVERYTHING in the course of one lifetime… it wouldn't matter!
The fact that you have to make choices and live with them is the purpose of the game!
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT WORTH LIVING!
Our idiosyncrises MAKE us — not ruin us.
The fact we each have unique (some more than others, eh) worldviews, ways of expressing ourselves, problems, skills, talents… looks and bodies…
The fact we AREN'T all "Rock star" good looking or ALL "Rich…"
Don't you understand?
That MAKES it!
(if we all were, would the aformentioned be anything "special" anyway? Would it even matter if everyone was as such?)
Poverty make Richness what it is; Pain makes Joy what it is; Hate makes Love what it is…
Hitler made Jesus all the more holy.
You NEED opposites; polarization is fundamental; distinction.
If not for it; if not for smokers; "non-smokers" and the healthier class they constitute would be a meaningless bunch.
It would be a non-issue… so no one could point it out, no one could care, and finally, everyone would live to the same relative standards… biology notwithstanding, those who (theorhetically) WOULD have smoked otherwise will still be amongst you… and they will LIVE and breed!
Do you not see it?
Pro-Abortionists will exist in less plenty than Pro-Lifers…
For reasons that should sink in…
Smokers in the same vein….
That which falters; that which fails, finds it's way out of this World.
You fuck with Darwinism, you've fucked with EVERYTHING it has developed.
That's an insult your own self, as well as every other living organism on this Earth.
Let the sick be sick; lest you by attempting to "save" them, you be mistaken as being a sick man yourself.
Mother Teresa didn't force medicine down anyone's throat — and this is no different.
You mind your own business until you have no other choice.
Or else be willing to open your house to the homeless; your refrigerator to the hungry; your medicine cabinet to the sick…
And see how long this new generous existance allows you to stay alive to perpetuate it.
Which is why mankind has to enslave itself in order to meet the ideals of modern liberalism — it must be slave unto it's "self…"
Long since defeating the more proper goal of liberalism — LIBERTY.
A life lived as a slave, or a child; never having a mind of your own; or in using it, being disrespected in your wishes…
This is a life not worth living.
It is the open-endedness of the whole charade that makes the "sure" stuff all the sweeter.
I like having it open-ended.
I like not knowing that I will live happily ever-after.
I like to know I will die, and suffer.
It gives it meaning, you pathetic wretch of a person!
You will not deprive me of my torment!
Some, but not for all, find it all they have!
