Depends on where you spent those 7 years.
Well, 4 of them were as a member of an occupying force, and three of them were as a poor person looking for friends, so I got a variety.
Did you ever watch Lord of the Flies?
Have you ever read this book?
It was written before tptshouldn'tb had full control over what was allowed to be printed.
We will always,....
Well, maybe if you mean by we a**holes that want to rule over others, and eat without producing.
We need to embrace that which you think is a bad quality
Sorry, I can't unread the books, and I won't allow my mind to be caged again.
it has allowed us to build skyscrapers
I'm sure by 'it' you mean the workers that did the work, and not the bosses that paid the wages.
You know, the folks who's grandkids can't afford a room, or get in the doors, of the buildings their grandpa's put together.
All while the grandkids of those that paid the wages party it up in Malibu while contributing tremendously to our culture.
These things would not have happened with someone being the boss and the exchange of work/service/labor for money.
That looks like it needs an edit,...
Rule by force is the disease, if you wish to be the who to be you, and how is whatever strikes your fancy, you can count me out,...thanks.
I'll be over here doing my own thing, eh?
To be honest it really sounds like you're jealous of the success of others.
I've never been an occupying force. These types of things are not for me - I know my limitations and following rules and commands without questioning why is something I'm not able to do.
Maybe because of this experience you have some bias towards the establishment - I can't blame you for that and can understand anybody who might feel that way. I too question what are the point of some wars. I also wonder if some nations have armies that have been hijacked.
However, these things are the evolution of society. Some cultures will be lost, some cultures will rule over others. Some people will die fighting for what they think is the way it should be.
I guess I'm an ahole! But I'm a realistic ahole that knows that mankind will never be that what you are looking for.
