One life is one life and one homicide is one homicide. Statistically speaking neither(or both)homicide should be acceptable. From a robotic perspective there is no difference between one homicide and another. The difference arises through having a sense of right and wrong and introducing the idea of worth into a Human life.
Some may say capital punishment lowers respect for Human life in general, I would say our people think too highly of themselves already. I think the noose would help remind people how precious they are not and this would be a good thing thing for Western society.
Donate my organs, not for a price, but on the condition that all my organs go to the same person. Not so much a transplant, more of a hostile takeover. This is what I want.
The first thing I do on a date is run over and ruffle her hair and knuckle her head. It's a deal-breaker. But more seriously I think any girl who's that finicky and vain would piss me off eventually, she clearly suffers from a lack of perspective.
Retire at 65 and then culled at 72 in a manner of your own choosing.
And if you're really successful in life then you get the option to be blasted into space in a one-man vessel posing no more threat of annoying young people on Earth. We can't say fairer than that.
My Grandad and his G.I generation didn't use to talk of individuality and instead they had a different word: character. And character was something you earned through effort, experience and ordeal.
But something has definitely changed. Character/individuality in this day and age is something you supposedly just have anyway. You're an individual just because you exist - no supporting evidence of your individuality is necessary - and I blame this mentality for the modern lack of critical thinking and the dearth of eccentricity. Precisely because each person is told they are unique just as they are they forget to act or think in a way which actually makes them unique. Basically what people try to pass off as individualism today is a cheap and easy conformity which completely devalues the individual.
You talk of individuality when you parrot word for word what White middle class Americans always say. This entrancement with your own uniqueness and individuality is what binds together Leftoidian middle class Whites with Right-wing Libertarian middle class Whites despite of other differences.
And whilst exceptions to the rule exist as they always do, you, Jean, are certainly not one of them. You go way beyond the natural things in common groups and cultures have all the way into political groupthink. The absolute inability to think critically, independently or objectively beyond political expediency. Your type of "individualism" is the most unindividualistic individualism I know of - but don't take it personally as there are literally millions just like you.
If no one thought it was possible then Obama wouldn't have won one term in office let alone two.
Imo it was entirely predictable for the Left-wing of the middle class to appoint an Uncle Tom as figurehead. An alpha male who looks like a Black but is all SWPL on the inside was going to attract a lot of support from Blacks duped into thinking he's one of them and SWPLs who get to pretend that he isn't.
Yet still judging from the responses you are far from the worst person here. I've seen not one but two counts of pure evil and it's only the second page.
North Korean society is brainwashed into having an unblinking attitude towards authority where a conspiracy against the public is regarded as normal.
And our society(ies)is feather-bedded into having a lazy cynicism and sneering, ironic/paranoid/ungrateful take on everything where the normal is regarded as a conspiracy against the public.
I do try to keep that in mind. But the tunnel-vision always comes back following a mistake. If I said I'll do X then X will happen when I said that X would happen even if X costs me blood, sweat, tears and the dwindling remains of my sanity.
Try to let it slide. I often lose more by trying to correct a mistake than the mistake itself actually costs me.
Because I'm an impatient perfectionist who hates, hates, HATES breaking his word I'll go to extraordinary and sometimes ridiculous lengths to complete a task or correct a problem today rather than wait until tomorrow when it would have been a helluva lot simpler to do. I need to learn when to quit rather than keep going at it over and over again until I reach a success that's not even worth it.
Do you think that's how it is? I disagree in my experience. In the West, and as a general rule, I think we follow our passions and our hearts too much and don't think enough about where the money's coming from.
Not to say that we want to become mercenary gold-diggers, but being emotionally indulgent is not a good idea neither(it's ruining the kids). And the woman I want to marry will be the practical happy-medium between the lovey-dovey idiot and the cold, calculating cow.
All the evidence is there of a culture's men growing soft in the arms of materialist decadence. Would a cleansing war really help? Or are the stakes of war now so high that we are doomed to sink under the weight of dispensable and reproductively useless manhood absentia?
Too many of his films are so pretentious that they forget to be entertaining. The kind of films some people love because they think they should with A Clockwork Orange being the best example. But I do like Spartacus and The Shining.
Men write women off for being too old easier than women write men off for being too old.. Age, appearance and the things which don't really define you as a person women have a greater tolerance for(in men). Whereas men are more forgiving of a woman who is a dork or makes bad jokes. We're more tolerant about the things which do define her as a person.
Do you think you're taking enough initiative with the women? They don't just come to you, you know.. I'm 27 and I do get some profile views but maybe a fifth of the number it would be had I been born a girl.
And don't forget that when someone has something bad to say they're much more likely to say it. Critics are always the most vocal. If someone has a bad experience they go on tell many more people about it than they would do following a good experience. You probably have more sympathisers than you realise.
And this effect is magnified amongst the intelligence because of cynicism. Because there is more intelligence than originality. And because it's easier to destroy than it is to create. The way in which modern intellectuals usually demonstrate intelligence is not by creating and contributing to positive ideas, but by rationally destroying the foundations of other people. Modern intellectuals are usually of a beady-eyed, destructive and vain nature.
The church-going crowd are ok by me. Whenever I, say, have a customer who I find out goes to church regularly I'm relieved because on balance they're friendlier and pay the flaming bill on time.
Most are not this type though and often Christianity is a means for mysticism with none of the rules of religion. They're the worst of both worlds as they take the irrational side of religion and combine it with modern, secular selfishness which creates an uber-selfishness checked by neither rule nor reason. For them the belief that "god still loves you" tends to justify behaving like a selfish and irresponsible dickhead(even more so than the typical nihilist). Most modern Christian are not religious because they are mystics. And I really do not like mysticism.
There is no proof either way. Faith and religiosity just strike me as being morally wholesome. A way to instill discipline and promote rule- consciousness with less coercion than it takes for the law and state to do this. I prefer the idea of the mythical shepherd over the devout followers than I do the surveillance state over the secular moral blanks. Better God than plod.
They may work because cultures with arranged marriages have a totally different attitude towards life and each other. I'd expect that even if they ditched arranged marriage and became more liberal their marriages would still be more successful- at least for a while.
It takes some time for the rot to set it in. Your society turning liberal does not mean that you yourself transform into a self-centred, instantly-gratifying ingrate overnight, it takes some years for all the traditional decencies and disciplines to die away. But they do eventually.
So anyway I don't see any use for arranged marriage in our culture because we'd never be able to pull them off. Not in our current condition. It would take some massive crisis, a war or plague or something for us to see the appeal of planning, obeying and reigning in our own chaotic impulses.
I agree with Pedal, I wouldn't do it to them because I'd hate them to do it to me.
My second reason I don't like the idea is because I'd like to think I was a good judge of character and that I wouldn't leave myself vulnerable to someone I had not known for long. There's always going to be some risk, but that's life.
You've just got to find a way of making your whinging interesting. Surely you must know a lady who can instruct you in the art of the alluring moan? Amongst any group of women there's always at least one who has it down to a tee.
Subprime mortgages would be the most obvious example of the kind of thing I'm talking about. Pumping synthetic wealth into nations so they can live well above their own means(for a bit).
And if it's true for the US it's just as true for the UK, two nations abandoning good sense completely in favour of global roulette. Europe is a mixed bag, you have some of the best ideas and industries going just a shame about all the goat farmers, poxy tourist resorts and that ridiculous bureaucracy trying to mash it all together.
She seems well-intentioned, but I don't see how she would reduce the decades-old culture of dependency there is upon the big banks. Just as the banks are financial overlords the people are begging underlings. And there is a problem with the size of the banks but the reason why they fail is because of bad investment relative to global markets - and that bad investment is the American people. To fix the problem you need to do something about the people or the global market(preferably both).
Anyway, I don't see any intent to transform beggars into producers(not that I expected too, no one votes for a harder life just because it leads to a better future). And when I say beggars I don't just mean those on welfare as many of our employed and "entrepreneurial" are effectively begging.
Costly to us all. I don't think people truly grasp how much more for less most immigrants are prepared to do - and what the implications of this are for the natives.
Now if you're wealthy today cheap foreign workers are a boon(at least financially)because you'll get that kitchen fitted at half the cost it would have been. But you do not want to belong to the same social class in which masses of cheap workers are being introduced to. Not in a million years do you want this.
How far can corporate-liberals go with this? First they came for the Nationalists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Nationalist.
Then they came for the workers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a worker.
Then they came for the small business man, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a small business man.
Very interesting to see how the White middle classes will react. During the fantasy years before 2008 the elites were very much engaged in dispossessing the native poor and buying their silence and passivity with welfare payments.
But things have changed. It's the middle being squeezed today as the elites know better than to truly hit the poor - there would be anarchy and overthrow - and so to introduce a surplus of educated people into a class as decadent, obsolete and saturated as the White bourgeois would most probably cause a bloodbath.
