"The whole cooperative enterprise of human civilization"

Mostly about killing the folks 'over there' so as to take their stuff.

...or...

Bending nature in ways folks like.

Ain't got diddly to do with good feelings or communitarian clap-trap.

Cooperation is about self-interest.

Altruism is for loons, pussies, and liars.

It certainly explains the philosophy of right wing extremists.

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

Shameless self-appreciation. Bumped because I'm reading my old threads, looking for something.

Henry, You know tw's script by heart. You know he's going to twist your words and call you a child like it's a bad thing. But he'll die soon of excess adultness, while the picture in the attic gets younger.

You on the other hand, crow about being an individual, a free soul, while paying taxes, following the rules of the road, avoiding arrest, and meshing with the other members of society. Methinks you're a rebel in spirit living a cooperative, go-along-to-get-along, life.
Nothing wrong with that.

Tw's gonna to write his own epitaph. That's why he wants to be buried under Trump's border wall. It'll be the only tombstone big enough to hold it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Because that is also being a team player. Despite denials - that is what a team player does - even on highways.

Adults who are adults are responsible because they understand why is it necessary. Adults who are children do so to avoid consequences and resulting pain.

Adult children who neither suffer nor fear consequences remain anti-social and problematic. Not because they are a free spirit. Because they are not a team player.

It's the year of the Rooster.

You can choke the chicken and have a chicken dinner too.

We are very close to seeing sexobon and tw in agreement.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-01-2017, 10:39 AM

Which one is the cock?

sexobon · 04-01-2017, 10:49 AM

That would be you, carrying flint. Tw and I are in the background. Those are the two who look like they may be in agreement; though, appearances can be deceiving.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-01-2017, 10:55 AM

Oh, you're the one with the pitchfork... most appropriate.

sexobon · 04-01-2017, 11:20 AM

Naturally, I'm the one who comes from where the work gets done.
