[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"][QUOTE="Packt"][QUOTE="super_mario_128"] Couldn't you have at least used spoiler tags? >_> Or just linked us to the lyrics or youtube video?I suppose I could have linked to the lyrics...but I the song is an hour long...linking from youtube isn't going to happen:P I said "or", not "and". Either is better than making scrolling through this thread a choir, like the original post you made.
The Fall's "Eat y'self Fitter"'s lyrics conjures up very contemporary relatable thoughts for me. It's from their 1983 album "Perverted by Language." It's the best album I've ever heard.
The lead singer Mark E. Smith has a unique voice (emulated by lead singer of LCD Soundsystem as The Fall was his major influence) and delivers the lyrics in an almost spoken word format (as per usual) with a very repetative song structure. It actually sends chills down my spine at certain points to this day and I've heard it dozens of times.
ur born with the power of choice...that's what decides wat u r

Actually you're born to whim. What choices can a newborn make? It's only through experience that you can learn to make a choice. For what is choice without reason? Choice is an illusion when based on random whim. It only gains permanance when made based on a system of values obtained through experience and reason.
[QUOTE="Packt"] Crushmaster, have you read Darwin's original work on domestication of dogs and pigeons? Just curious how you would explain animal domestication and selective breeding. I am honestly curious, so you don't have to create a few second snappy response. Just tell me what you know.Crushmaster
I haven't really thought about it, nor have I read his book.
I don't know what you want me to try explaining, either; nor do I think I have time, as I need to get off in about five minutes.
Well, maybe you should start there for some answers. I've done my part and read the damned bible in it's many incarnations. How can you expect to form a rational self-bias if you haven't even read the fundamental source material. How can you expect anyone to want to debate with you?
Off to read the Origin of Species I'd hope. It's pretty essential material to read if you'd like to continue debating.

who knows... but if we are the cause..are we REALLY going to do anything..and not just wait till we're at the point of no more returns

Who is "we" but a group of individuals? "We" is not a living being, it cannot answer you. You need to ask yourself what you're going to do. Examine the implications of this collectivist mind set of "we". "We" cannot help you, only you can. Act of your own volition instead of questioning your neighbour about what he'll do about it.
