Anarchy might occur briefly, before order is resumed.
But there is no guarantee that a new order will be any better than the old one.
I would suggest that anarchy is largely the result of too much testosterone and the dominant stupid gene.

All points true, within their own contexts.
What we need is a GOD.
So that we can ask them if we are performing correctly in accordance with universal evolutionary principles and required outcomes.
Saw the first of a short series of documentaries yesterday evening, about Nigeria.
Episode 1. focussing on Lagos.
It was difficult not to come to the conclusion that species evolution is just a chaotic consequence of the universal evolutionary process.
Do we need 8 billion people in order to fulfil our universal purpose?
Do we have a purpose?
Did transgenderism just morph out of the miasma of material chaos?

Firstly, let me stress that I do not believe.
Things are either known or not known.
Some things need to follow a set procedure.
Some things do not.
Judgemental correctness is a separate issue.

To be Pro-choice but to not allow choice, is perhaps contradictory.
Bearing in mind though, that such situations are constrained by society and it's rules.
So being pro-choice but not necessarily pro-abortion is a perfectly reasonable position.
No, I do not support the choices made by first degree murderers.

No chance of that.
Can you imagine trying to simultaneously educate the all children of the World, with the same sensible curriculum.
Whilst simultaneously attempting to re-educate all their stupid parents.
Never going to happen is it?

The effects of the stupid gene tend to get the most media attention.
Therefore attention seekers with a dominant stupid gene, will obviously crave attention.
Whether that be priest or sexually deviant knife-persons.
Or sexually deviant priests, for that matter.
Or even sexually repressed zealots.
Too many categories to list, in fact.
Which one do you fall into?
As luck would have it, I fall into the perfect earthling one.

Of course.
I would not assume the right to tell you what to think or do.
Obviously societies have laws that their members must adhere to.
But I have no control over those sorts of decisions anyway.

Yes, that is exactly what I stated.
I support her right to choose abortion.
Which doesn't necessarily mean that I am pro-abortion.
Your desire to pigeon hole people on their behalf but without their agreement, is what it is.
And such behaviour is often regarded as sanctimonious.
Though in this instance I would prefer to regard it as spirited discussion.

Support the choice of what?
The individual pregnant woman.
Which as I adequately described, doesn't necessarily imply that I am either pro or anti abortion.
So I reiterate that I am indifferent with regards to the surgical procedure, though I think it correct to apply limitations upon the social provision of the procedure.
Limitations not based upon a contrived morality, but based upon a practical understanding of physical development.
I also support the choice of people to assume contrived ethics and morality.
But I do not support the morality "soldiers" who based upon whims and self gratification would openly seek to deny the practical choices of others.

i.e. "police officer" accurately labeled "race" soldier mistreating a minority (p.o.w).
Strange nut.
More of a left wingers assumption, based upon delusions of an anarchic utopia.
Wherein said left winger becomes the law enforcing race soldier, ready to mistreat whosoever it sees as worthy of mistreatment.
Under the guise of socialism and their own delusions of self-righteousness.
In a nutshell.
The pot calling the kettle black.
Of course, I comment from a place that affords me reasonable levels of freedom.

For sure.
We have evolved in a certain way and will carry on doing so.
Though whether or not this process is overseen by a greater authority, or has any greater purpose, is unknown.
As things stand, we can either assume that personal whim and gratification is or is not a necessary part of the process.
If not, we still have to assume that personal whim and gratification, maybe either right or wrong.
Take your pick.
But what you choose to conclude, is based upon your whims and need for personal gratification.
Same applies to me of course.

Hmmmm.
As ever,
Begs the age old question.
Of what use is the human mass.
Heterosexual procreation for heterosexual procreations sake.
Or a greater evolutionary purpose.

Well I would suggest that the phrase,
To have a run in with the Law/Police,
Generally refers to admonishment by law enforcement agents, for a suspected misdemeanour or worse.
Rather than just a chat.

So, in a nutshell.
Social evolution is ongoing.
Though, inherent human behaviour being less susceptible to real change, only modifies relative to the evolution of social consciousness.
So in even more of a nutshell.
We interact just as we always have done, but differently.

I'm pro the right of the individual woman to choose.
And anti the interference of those who think that they are somehow morally justified in making choices for others.
As for abortion, I am indifferent with regards to the surgical and medical choices of others.
Though I would suggest that socially, it is preferable to apply sensible time limitations upon the provision of the procedure.
So am I pro-abortion?
As in, do I unreservedly promote the procedure as a positive method of birth control.
No.
Am I anti-abortion.
As in, do I see abortion as an unethical method of terminating the consequences of unprotected sex.
No.

In terms of opportunity, North America is as good as anywhere else.
And most people are capable of making their own choices.
Personally, I'm not much of a nanny-statist.
So if I make poor choices, I don't blame everyone else.

Pro choice, refers to the right of a pregnant woman to choose.
So if I am pro-choice that is my viewpoint.
Which doesn't necessarily have to mean that I am pro-abortion.
One can de indifferent.

I was generalising, in respect of sexual angst in younger males.
Though I would suggest that there is a difference between anger and frustration as people age.

Anger is a pre fight or flee, defence strategy, relative to endocrinal activity.
Which is why people tends to get less angry, as they get older.
Which is not to say, that the same strategy has not also developed and expanded upon in other ways.
Forgiveness or the inability to forget, is one of the drawbacks of memory.

So you are saying that white supremacy was a normally evolved human condition.
And therefore, so was black inferiority.
Do you think that this was based upon intellectual development?
As for "systemic racism".
I would suggest that social sub-systems that developed in semi-isolation, would inevitably be racist in terms of sensory perception.
I would also suggest that ongoing discrimination based upon sensory perception was therefore also inevitable.
Though discrimination and systemic racism, is far from just a "white" condition...Far from it in fact.
Because current trends in racial vilification are actually based upon real time species evolution.

Never had a "run in" with the Police.
I would suggest that people tend to fall into two categories.
A. Those that tend not to have run ins with the Police.
B. Those that tend to have run ins with the Police.
Those who tend towards category B, will also tend towards a negative attitude to policing.
Tend being the operative word, as there will no doubt be exceptions to the general tendencies.
I would further suggest that a society would not function with out some form of policing.
(The above, might or might not suggest that we are not a conscious hive.
Though I'm tending to think that hive is perhaps more of a sub-conscious or inherent phenomena).
