Thing is.
Billions just get on with stuff.
Getting on with stuff and freedom fighting...So which is a consequence of the other?
One and the same perhaps?

We are slaves to society.
A truism per se.
We are slaves to evolution, which includes human society.
And also includes money and associated expectations.
And now technology...In fact we readily became slaves to all aspects of material evolution.
I would suggest that there never was an alternative.
Even though we might like to think that there was.
Do you think that we could modify the future?
Speaking solely from a global human perspective, I would suggest that the future will just occur as it will, relative to material and social development.
So we might come to past based conclusions and apply them... But isn't this is what we have always done?
Things are so bad.
Things are as they are.
A will be as they will be.

Assuming that a GOD 's data processing systems were the same as human systems.
Then a hypothetical GOD would perhaps look upon it's creation and come to an overall conclusion, which it might regard as love.
Whereas at a human level, as Sadolite also points out, love is resultant of a subjective data assessment process.
A process rife with variables.

For sure.
The majority of the "The Bible" pre-dates Christianity.
So let's say that ritual baptism was a long standing tradition, latterly adopted by the Christian club.

Survival or salvation.
An internal struggle between the subconscious and the conscious.
If you programme kids with a data set that insists that the afterlife is much better than this one.

Love variously describes an internal electro-chemical response to an external stimuli.
Like a person.
Or a bowl of apple pie and ice cream.
With a bit of custard perhaps.
To name but two.
Currently I love neither Vladimir Putin or cat shit.
Even with custard.
To name but two.

There probably are gays and paedophiles in North Korea.
But be realistic, are they likely to come out of their closets.
They probably live in a make believe world of dreams and masturbation.
Just like most dream of attaching electrodes to Kim's genitals and pulling the switch.

I have four cycles.
But sometimes I enjoy walking.
So are cyclical events the same as opposites.
Though I certainly like to run with the Yin and Yang idea.

@Mall
Is it wrong.
Who's to say?
Humans have an ongoing system of making up and adapting to new stuff.
As a part of that system, humour and offence therefore also change accordingly.
The problem is that pre-programmed units do not always keep up with current thinking trends and changes in social expectation.
Sacha Baron Cohen, worked appropriately.
The fact that he might not do quite so appropriately now, is the fact that he might not do quite so appropriately now.
Relative to change, he perhaps works differently now.
Then and now are not the same.
Then was and now is.
Though recognising that the past cannot be altered is something that certain trend setters would rather not come to terms with.
Which I find, is a trait that is best ignored.
Whereas a lot of people love to ride the post event vilification train.

Explaining "ritual".
Is a different ball game to learning to recite a book verbatim.
And I obviously perceive.
Which describes the input, consequent assessment, and maybe output of data.
Nonetheless.
Christianity is a religious club and certain associated rituals are established methods of confirming a persons membership.
Other religious clubs have other rituals.

Hmmm.
I'm not certain that corrupt is a necessary description.
I would suggest that everyone has a conditioned bias.
Which is what you went on to describe in your following statement.
I think that it is better to look upon a debate as a personal challenge.
It's the same with any competition.
Cups and trophies are just tat to be put on a shelf to gather dust.

For sure.
I think that it is a generally inherited rule that Americans either vote blue or red.
Biden, Trump or Blue Chimp, Red Chimp, wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to most.
But I also think that there is also a decisive purple minority that gives things a bit more thought.

Non-normalized sexual practice.
So, procreational sex performed in a specific position is perhaps about as normal as it gets.
Anything else is not normalized.
Is that what you are suggesting.
How long does it take for something to become normalized?
Or can somethings never become normalized?
Lets compare lesbian and Gay sexual practices that have been around for millennia, with the practice of using computer technology that has only been around for less than a hundred years.
So therefore, should we rightly regard smartphones usage as a non-normalized and disgusting communication practice?
Or should some people just keep their dirty little minds and noses out of other peoples sexual practices?
Though truth be told, repressed voyeurs tend to be the most devious.

How effective can an unofficial rule be?
In fact if you think about it, a rule that isn't official is a tad worthless.
Further:
Debateart is what it is.
And if you modify it's rules it will become somewhat different.
Which might mean that a few more people will take an interest at the expense of others that you choose to rule against.
Though one specialist website amongst a billion others will only ever draw a limited amount of dedicated users.

All people with normally functioning equipment are heterosexual by default.
What one chooses to lick, suck or fuck for pleasure, is what one chooses to do.
Associated terminology, is also what it is.
Procreation no longer relies upon the insertion of an erect penis penis into a vagina.
Neither does recreation...In fact it hasn't for a long time.
Trans is now a medical and surgical possibility.
Choices Choices.
Though all based upon the same procreational messages.
The Evolution of the species hey?

Catkins dandelions and raspberries have short seasons, so you will need to expand your dietary range.
Moving close to the coast would be beneficial.
So where do you currently reside.

Pedos and animal fuckers.
Simply respond to primary drive the same as everyone else.
It's just that such methodology is currently not de rigueur.
Whereas chopping ones tackle of and calling oneself Tiffany is.
Though a tad drastic fashion statement.
It would perhaps be prudent to have it frozen just in case fashions re-convert.

You need to ditch the clock.
And ditch routine.
Which I know is difficult when one is compelled to work for a living.
I also find that I now require less sleep overnight.
Obviously making my waking days longer.
A cup of tea and a nap at 3pm for 30 minutes is very therapeutic.
It's not so bad when you are 63 and semi-retired.
Must stay active though.

Intelligent people don't promote wars and destruction.
This statement caught my eye.
And I think that it is wholly incorrect.
I would suggest that intelligence is intelligence and certainly no guarantee of a persons character.
Though how we judge another persons character, is relative to how we judge our own, and not necessarily in comparable circumstances.
So Putin and Hitler would be two obvious examples.
Do/did either of them actually lack intelligence?

I would suggest that striving to achieve happiness is a tad counterintuitive.
Modern lifestyles and accompanying social expectations will have more of an impact upon ones state of mind, though this does certainly include dietary issues.
And of course, youthfulness, comes with all of it's inbuilt procreational stresses.

You cannot afford to be fussy.
Hunter gatherers eat to live, rather than live to eat.
And cooking makes foodstuff more digestible, whereby the gut can extract more nutrients from it.
And dandelions produce their own sugars, you need a yeast to promote fermentation.
Water lilies are a good nutrient source, and common in the U.S.

Dandelions are extremely difficult to eradicate without herbicides.
Roots are tenacious.
The upside is that dandelions are readily cultivated.
Wild meat, fish and other seafoods would be your best source of B12.
Hunter gathering is very time consuming and labour intensive, which is one of the reasons we developed other systems of nutrient provision.

Penis vagina angst manifests in all sorts of crazy ways.
It's interesting how we've developed socio-psychologically, to not be able to come terms with the reality of our reproductive systems.
So we developed all this nouveaux-reality instead. Not based around procreation per se, but focused upon how we extract pleasure from physical processes.
Add in a few heaped spoonful's of pious ideology and the brain goes into melt down for some reason.
Which isn't to suggest that millennia of psychological turmoil has not caused biological systems to evolve.

Let's watch this space buttercup.
SO, is this thread purely about the quality of the documentary?
Or are you proposing a discussion, based upon the current state of child development?...Compared to when?
Better, is always sometime in the past, isn't it?
As I implied, the 1960's worked best for me.
Three simple questions...Go on, have a go at answering.
