To think that we've actually been following any sort of genetic guidelines is not only short sighted, it is flat out wrong. People guzzle high fructose corn syrup, litres a day. Half of them don't even drink water. We drive to work, drive to our family/friends. Hell. Most of us drive 2 blocks to the store when anyone with any sense would just walk. We stick needles in our arms to achieve highs that end up killing us. We show nothing but disregard for out genetics, what makes you think we're supposed to be so against killing ourselves? In this day and age it is weird NOT to think about killing yourself.Humanity is just a soup of terrible genes. People that would've died early in life because of sheer stupidity now grow up to have 12 kids. We are not genetically disposed to anything but death, we are not built to survive anymore.I don't know what happened, hon, but you confuse the Hell out of me these days. This is a poor thread for an academic argument -- I just can't stand people who posit theories as though they were fact and then try to manipulate others based on their own personal interpretations of "reality." So I went for the most obvious flaw I could see, which is how terrible the repercussions would be if they were true. I don't care what someone believes, everyone should have the right to believe anything they choose -- but when you start telling someone in pain that their pain is going to last forever if they're not careful, I take issue with it.So I commented. If you took what I said personally, then I apologize. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm not sure exactly what to say to that though. Regardless, it wouldn't be appropriate in this thread I suppose...
