So weird that you're using ENGLISH to make these statements. It's the language society taught us and that we all agreed to use!

ut is not gonna get up my nose...ut is not gonna get up my nose...

Irrelevant.

I use english for my own purposes, not yours.

I stay within proscribed road usage for my purposes, not TW's.

When I use a public toilet it's for 'me', not other folks.

The communal nature of the tool doesn't negate why I use that tool.

You were hungry. You noticed that there was this big wedding reception going on at the hall next to you. So you went and pretended to be in the reception, and you accepted a chicken dinner. Before anyone noticed that you weren't actually a part of the whole deal, and had less than zero interest in it, you had et and left.

The ridiculous rules of the reception made it easy to mock; why WOULD anyone want to be a part of it? The Hokey Pokey, are you kidding me? And the extra dinner would have just been thrown away; they always make extras in case something goes wrong.

The invisible hand of the free market always creates a chicken dinner for the people who deserve one. The source of the chicken dinners is pure capitalist commerce. Wedding receptions never happened because the government told me to have one! I deserve that chicken dinner--the socioeconomic conditions of my life are entirely due to my own personal prowess and business savvy. And the free market. My personal awesomeness and the free market. Not the government. Not society. ME.

The whole cooperative enterprise of human civilization, stretching back across eons of time, is dumb. The only good thing is the 80-or-so years in which I am living, in which good old-fashioned American capitalism created chicken dinners for the good people who deserve them.

Or maybe those dinners were only created for people, good or bad, who can pay for them?

You are driving first and foremost to protect those many adjacent drivers - your team members. And second, also driving to protect yourself. All comes under the title of being responsible - an adult.

Adult children don't care. They drive like a responsible adult only when it is beneficial to them - when there are no consequences - no pain. Fast and Furious - an example of an adult who is still a child.

Nobody said anyone is a child. Please read with care. We are discussing adults. Two types. Those who use a prefrontal cortex to become responsible adults. And other adults who remain childish - who are only emotional. Daesh recruits and religious extremists are a perfect example of the latter.

Children who are adults do not exist. Children with the mind of a child are routine. And have no relationship to above discussed adults - other than share common symptoms.

This started with a fundamental point. Non serviam. Not a team player. Adults usually are team players. An exception is something called anarchy. It is justified by logic that adults use. And not by emotions that an adult child would use to justify his beliefs.

Just thought I would throw anarchy in there to stir the pot.

Lots of folks -- society members, all -- don't pay a dime in tax, and aren't payin' a penny toward cleaning up rivers and lakes.

Children, for example...good drones in training, each and every one...nuthin' comin' their pockets...many folks who subsist solely by way of public assistance...nuthin' comin' out of their pockets either.
This ^^^ is the DEFINITION of a society. You can't have a society with only healthy, able-bodied, working-age members. That's not realistic. We're ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

You're an idiot, and your reprehensible, insufferably ignorant political opinions are literally what's wrong with the world. Unchecked, selfish asshole feelings can only create a hellish nightmare that we all have to suffer through--including the selfish asshole AND the reasonable, decent people who were throwing up red flags, all the way over the cliff.

That sound about right? Want to own that, or chicken-shit out with a glib excuse?

You've never given a single moment of deep thought to anything, you just say words.

You're a boring troll. Worth engaging for 5-10 minutes.

That whole post rocked my world, but that last paragraph is lovely.
