Is western civilisation better than aboriginies of the past? (6 Viewers)

[cxlxoxk]

Yeah we have fixed that one problem by strengthening cabin doors. Great going.

Uhhhh, so you are saying there won't be any terrorist hijackings ever not next year, not in a 1000 years (if we still exist)? You are not fit to make such a guarantee.

Man your argument is completely without substance.

It's not an argument, it's opinion. subjective not objective.

Which is why you're a quack and no-one is taking you or anything you say seriously.

I'm not asking anyone to.

And where do you think these extreme religious values come from? Religion is as much a part of culture as is local cuisine.

I know religion is part of culture, but government is not...relgion shouldn't (but it's the case) be allowed to influence the governing of a country, or the laws upon which governing is based. i think morality and ethics from basic human conscience should make and reform law.

If you think their culture and way of life is so great then go join them.
I dare you.

I plan to, when i retire, and i have nothing left to do in this society. Not now, i was born here i wanna experience here, as much as i can...If noone else thinks that kind of way of life is great then explain to me why a lot of people like "Into the Wild". I'm not saying the grass is greener on their side, i'm saying the grass is just as green (to me) on their side.

 

[cxlxoxk]

Why a lot of people like into the wild? Because a lot of people also like alternative medicine and the other nonsense about naturalism.

Yawn. Natural doesn't mean good; mercury and uranium come from nature, are you going to ingest those?

no, nor do i like the idea of using the latter for power (nuclear power).

 

[cxlxoxk]

why?

toxic waste = bad for the environment. we can't dispose of it safely.

 

[cxlxoxk]

Uhhh didn't...i just know we can't...there is excess after the nuclear fission etc...

 

[Kwayera]

toxic waste = bad for the environment. we can't dispose of it safely.

I hate people like you. Ignorantly spouting "omg it's bad stop it all omg". It's people like you who stop research into things like thorium reactors.

Also I hope you realise that the ground you walk on is radioactive ("toxic waste"). You are radioactive.

no science studied in yr 11/12....

o wait i did physics in year 11, for like 2 weeks, found it sooo boring, i quit, i mean who doesn't know newton's laws of motion.

and i don't ignorantly object any scientific development/research...if scientists are so smart, they need to be coming up with things like cold fusion, except not epic fail, it needs to have some degree of success, then replicated and improved, to a greater degree of success.

lol

 

[cxlxoxk]

so you are saying not studying a single science makes you dumb?

i did a lot of humanities related subjects...legal...society and culture...i replaced physics with ancient history, but i find ancient egypt boring so i quit that by year 12, when i started doing pompeii and herculaneum.

i'm sure there are 15,000+ people this year who did similar, "no sciences", for their 10 units.

No, you're a dumb fuck cos of this:

if scientists are so smart, they need to be coming up with things like cold fusion, except not epic fail, it needs to have some degree of success, then replicated and improved, to a greater degree of success.

What the hell do you think they're doing with all their research time? Sitting down and twiddling their thumbs? They are coming upm with things like cold fusion.
How the hell do you think you even know what cold fusion is? Because some scientist worked out the theoretical methods of using such a process. Now they're working on the practical application of this theory. And morons like you are not helping.
And yes there are plenty of people who didn't do any sciences for their HSC, myself included. However, you're an still idiot because you make sweeping statements upon a subject which you know virtually nothing. The rest of us humanities-based folks generally steer very clear of such statements, because we have the intelligence to realise the limits to our own knowledge.

 

[Riet]

I'm saying what you define as a worser culture (middle east - al qaeda), is still able affect our technology...why can't we make it foolproof and untouchable, if we are so "superior". answer: we're not.

Everything you say is irrelevant from now on.

 

[HalcyonSky]

is this guy some mega troll?

 

[Riet]

Hey retard, you know most of SA is radioactive already right?

 

[Riet]

Hey man your fucking iPhone is receiving radiations right now dawg.

 

[cxlxoxk]

Hey man your fucking iPhone is receiving radiations right now dawg.

i don't have an iPhone lol.

 

[Riet]

I wasn't talking to you, argh. Btw, Global Warming is a myth. If you want to atleast be factual say Climate Change.

 

[ongitsanjali]

well are you saying they're a lot better off now?

and yes i am buying ito the "noble savage" bit, because it's true

 

[Riet]

Yeh man heaps noble raping women

 

[ongitsanjali]

Yeah, I respect it. But that doesn't mean it's better than western civilisation.

IDK, I'd personally take western science and medicine and literature - progression, yes.

well i can't really say there is ever exactly a measure for whether a culture is superior or not...
it's entirely subjective

YouTube - Armstrong on the moon.

 

[cxlxoxk]

A lot of things produce radiation, it's not like i'm afraid of the sun, or a tv, or those machines used when getting xray and ct scans.

I am just afraid of extremely harmful radiation, such as those from toxic waste.
