Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

I saw the title of this thread and then the name of the OP.

Why would I listen to a rant on love, relationships and honesty by a lecher?

QuoteBrotherhood amongst men can only occur after Maslow's bottom level of the hierarchy is secured

Looking at our council estates, I'd say that securing the bottom level of the hierarchy will lead to no such thing.

Of course not, but if we ever hope to achieve such a brotherhood, we gotta get past that hurdle first

Its never going to happen.

We need a enemy to focus on anything. Take that away and we are over qualified cave dwellers.

Good thing we have another war ramping up, then.  Despair is another enemy, but we're not supposed to fight it.

Pretty much. Humans are as 'morally advanced' as they ever will be, over the long term. Its a cyclical thing.

Individuals, on the other hand....

War isn't a good example.
People can see the other side as the enemy, but also the people on "our" side who caused the war as the enemy.

It creates fractured unity.

Natural disasters tend to be less fractured.

I know, but it only works if you make the assumption that all war is bad.
For example the Crimean war wasn't bad after a certain point.
When Britain declared war it stated

"Queen Victoria of England, Scotland, Ireland and Berick upon tweed
Empress of India, ruler of the Commonwealth" etc..

In the peace treaty no one mentioned Berick, so after that point the largest nation on earth was at war for over a hundred years with a small town between England and Scotland. Technically the war had only one survivor, a turtle called brian that lived on one of the British ships.

As you may have noticed the aura of the site has slowly sapped our serious conversation to the point we can't be bothered and really just want someone to post some lolcats.

To that point, along the same lines of what i've been talking about in this thread, despite public opinion of the war in iraq/afghanistan it may actually have a point, the point having been to bring America to its current situation.  And the sails of the armada caught wind because opportunity to profit/satiate the greed was all it took.

i got the :hammer: for propsing that.

Things are too often discussed minus the practical application part.  Ask "and?...." or "then what?" and you become as big of a douche as i am.
