I watched the film 'Guess who's coming to dinner' last night, for about the tenth time, and it occurred to me that, although made in 1967, the film is sadly still relevant today. People have moved on a little, but how far really, recent events in the US involving Police and gunmen, certain groups in the UK. Do you think we will ever be totally unprejudiced, or is that just an ideal being aimed for, that can never be reached? |

"You seem really focused on the negatives on human nature. It's not all bad, some would even say man is inherently good. Cheer up.  "
Not always, I feel it's worth investigation together, it's the way to move forward in a positive position, see through the negatives, I do have some balance.   |

This isn't the first post you've made criticising man kind though, perhaps you ought to investigate your perception of things as opposed to committing to change everyone else. |

I constantly question my perception of things, it's all part of the process, but a few people on here are interested in these kinds of debates, so are welcome to discuss them with me, I'm not committing to changing everyone else, I'm trying to investigate with everyone else, the way we live, and hopefully together we can see a positive direction not laid down by anyone, one person or group of people should never be telling everyone how to be. |

By the way, are you not telling me how to be?  |

you refer to the human race as "mankind" which is strange coming from a woman ? Are you saying your sex is irrelevant ? you also confuse questioning something as criticism. Im not sure how you do that. Are you one of those people when asked to think about life and the direction the human race takes find it makes your head hurt ? If thats the case then why are you on this thread high jacking it ? |

I don't find the term "man kind" offensive, nor does it threaten/negate my gender.
I think you've also not considered the OP's other posts, talking about the terrible state of society.
And no, my head doesn't hurt, I just think it does more damage to one's wellbeing to constantly find the negative in things instead of celebrating the positives. If the OP were to be balanced in how it approached the question, it'd be different - however, it's negative and leading in nature. |

Only a couple of my other posts have been of this nature.
I'm not doing harm to my wellbeing by looking at facts and searching for answers, the alternative is to live in comfortable oblivion and leave three people I helped bring into the world with the same problems as I had.
The OP is not negative, it is asking a question about something negative and inviting a search for positives, and it is not leading, hence the question mark at the end. |

you sound like the sort of person who could live next to a nazi concentration camp, choking on smoke and gagging on the smell but insisting to everyone that life is rosy peachy creamy fantabulous. I also noticed you blocked me. Good.you should know that if thats the case you should not use the forums to contact people you blocked. Adios |

""put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another"
Why do you think that is?"
Because despite our culture, rules, laws we're still attend our core beasts.
Get blind d*unk and you want to eat, fuck and sleep somewhere warm, you're more prone to aggression too.
As George Carlin said if you simultaneously removed all electricity on the world full global overnight loss of power we would descend into a free for all of survival of the fittest and turn on each other. |

Jesus, what an over the top thing to say. But no, I've experienced enough to realise life is better when you appreciate it, and it doesn't help to dwell on negatives.
I haven't blocked you so that's unnecessary, too (perhaps check your own blocked list for the real reason before jumping to conclusions again). |

I agree on that, psychologically we haven't evolved that much.. Division through Religion, politics and nationalism is an echo of our tribalism from the past. We're not that far across the Zarathustra bridge. |

If my history lessons were correct wasn't there a very long war of Christians fighting Muslims under direction of the Pope to create a holy land...
reminds me of today but can't quite remember why...

It was direct in response. I don't believe the world treats interracial marriage in a similar way as that film portrays. If you think that, then you focus on the negative and rare things that happen as opposed to common place occurrences. It was my suggestion to change your outlook on life as being negative will only breed negativity. |

"Interestingly enough, I've had the same accusation thrown at me re blocking. I checked my list in surprise because I couldn't imagine ever having been arsed enough about that poster to do it and came to the same conclusion as you. Perhaps some kind of elaborate bait and trap (which I'm sure I've just walked into but fuck it) "
Not sure, I checked after reading and it says they've blocked me. I know I haven't blocked anyone since rejoining anyway."
Having said that, I think if they've reported a post I've made previously, perhaps admin placed the block to save them from receiving a message from me. Unlikely as it would be. |

I'm sure you'll get over this devastating blow "
I'll have to commit to "trolling" others by offering different positive view points. It'll be tough.  |

"I watched the film 'Guess who's coming to dinner' last night, for about the tenth time, and it occurred to me that, although made in 1967, the film is sadly still relevant today. People have moved on a little, but how far really, recent events in the US involving Police and gunmen, certain groups in the UK. Do you think we will ever be totally unprejudiced, or is that just an ideal being aimed for, that can never be reached?"
No I don't think we will ever be totally unprejudiced. You yourself will be prejudiced about something or other. I think it's natural for humans to classify and put each other in some kind of hierarchy. But we can always strive for better treatment for everyone, and that I think is improving. The mere fact that some of the events you've described have been headline news, where at the time of that film they were the norm, to me indicates progress in itself. |

Sounds like you already have your share of prejudices.

"You seem really focused on the negatives on human nature. It's not all bad, some would even say man is inherently good. Cheer up.
Not always, I feel it's worth investigation together, it's the way to move forward in a positive position, see through the negatives, I do have some balance.
This isn't the first post you've made criticising man kind though, perhaps you ought to investigate your perception of things as opposed to committing to change everyone else.
you refer to the human race as "mankind" which is strange coming from a woman ? Are you saying your sex is irrelevant ? you also confuse questioning something as criticism. Im not sure how you do that. Are you one of those people when asked to think about life and the direction the human race takes find it makes your head hurt ? If thats the case then why are you on this thread high jacking it ?
I don't find the term "man kind" offensive, nor does it threaten/negate my gender.
I think you've also not considered the OP's other posts, talking about the terrible state of society.
And no, my head doesn't hurt, I just think it does more damage to one's wellbeing to constantly find the negative in things instead of celebrating the positives. If the OP were to be balanced in how it approached the question, it'd be different - however, it's negative and leading in nature.
you sound like the sort of person who could live next to a nazi concentration camp, choking on smoke and gagging on the smell but insisting to everyone that life is rosy peachy creamy fantabulous. I also noticed you blocked me. Good.you should know that if thats the case you should not use the forums to contact people you blocked. Adios
"
If I remember correctly , the rule says..... Do not use the forum to contact people who have blocked you. You didn't block her. So the rule is not transgressed. |
