Downloaded best man speeches are one thing and marriages aren't taken that seriously anyway. But dishonouring your dead? We only die once, nothing has changed there and there's every reason to keep it sacred. A funeral really isn't the time to be completely soulless.
It's paying your respects and obviously a copy and paste eulogy is never going to do that. The manufactured script of an Americanised funeral inherently pisses on the grave.
And that might be why dumbing down takes place. It took smarts to build the society that lives until 80 but it does not take smarts to survive in it, the older the average person the lower the average ability to learn it could be that livng until 60,70, 80 en masse is backward. Live long and you cramp style, don't live long enough and things never get off the ground.
We do it to complicate matters. Literally. A slightly sophisticated arrangement of cells created with the passing of each generation, we die to create elaborate and savvy young life.
In the whole free speech has run out of things to say which is why America produces so many of these shockspeaking cults. But considering the preacher is irrelevant anyway the best reaction is no reaction. I wouldn't roll out the red carpet.
Or bring your mates so it's just him and you group of girls. Instead of spying the idea that you can avoid all risk through knowing in advance it's consequences to your actions that security upholds. A public place and other people you know police what's going on which is better than predicting what will be.
I would prefer you brought your actual big brother along on the date and I bet it would be much more effective. Your own brother is more likely to catch all the bad people who don't have a record and all the bad people with a record you turn a blind to because you're excited. The security is a better option than the spying that really does diminish everything.
The more I think about it the more I hate it. Big Brother may exist everywhere else in society but not between lovers. The whole idea is a scandalous slap in the face to romance..
It's a bit like the term drug & disease free if you're doing a background check it begs the question what's your own background? And the answer to that is I don't want to know. I don't want to hear about your life from you or the official channels.
It’s the law. The community administers justice in lieu of turn the other cheek - I.e. personal revenge. Don’t take the law into your own hands I.e render unto Caesar.
And don’t forget quality counts. If you force your kids to be an engineer or scientist you can have more of them, but if you have a track record of producing “something in the media” clearly they won’t be part of the solution.
Going for broke personally I would crash the global economy with huge tariffs and then rebuild with green being one deciding factor in the negotiation of tariff reduction. It’d be like Bretton Woods for the era of climate change.
Tariffs on filthy countries like Turkey, India and China is the obvious thing to do. One year of that is worth more than a lifetime recycling tin cans.
Which isn’t to say the left is wrong about reusing plastics bags etc only that everything the left wants breaks down internationally. Where does Islam leave feminism? Where does China leave Mother Nature? And what does mass immigration do to working class wages and conditions? The point is that nothing you want is ever going to happen when it includes your attempt to convert the world like a religious missionary. It’s too big and you’ve lost all control.
The cats out of the bag already you could kill every whitey on the planet and there still wouldn’t be room for the way the world works today.
We’d have to go back to the 1970s and be some green version of Donald Trump over the next 50 years. Before the 1980s the west could have made a meaningful influence on climate change but today every effort the white race makes must be matched by every other - and good luck with that.
And I believe the problem science and social progress is that they’re always their for you. No matter how much better they make your life you will get used to it unlike the mysterious man in the sky who offers nothing and always keeps you eager to please. The bad boy.
I compare it to the Roman uptake of Christianity. The twilight of our imperial empire where declining morale and literacy forces cosmopolitan Rome into a state of second religiousness roughly 100 years before its final doom.
Opposition to immigration has remained consistent these last 15 years or so.
But was it courage or is it just edgy? Now that anti-immigration is popular I take the view that my work is done and have changed track ever since. Although I rationalise it as moderation am I not just trying to be latest thing? Whether im right or whether I’m wrong my suspicion is that disagreeing with the world is half the point.
Whatever you decide to do is up to you. There's certain administrative costs for you to bear as a global empire - it's not all free lunch - you can tax your subjects more but it will mean unrest. All your debts are globalised through this rigging and your stock market inflated, you lose a lot if you lose your monopoly market.
