Anonymous Coward User ID: 14181922 United States 06/28/2012 06:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cool! Well, this is not so surprising really. All they did was add money to the monkeys system of trading food and grooming for sex. Check these monkeys out.... [link to www.time.com] "The macaques' exchange of services simply illustrates a nifty system of cooperation that allows for successful mating. The basic premise, says Gumert, is called biological market theory, which follows the elementary principles of supply versus demand. When applied to the voluntary sex life of long-tailed macaques, it means that the price that one group is willing to pay for a commodity that the other group has depends on the scarcity or abundance of that commodity on the market." Nifty system of cooperation... lol |

"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" — John M. Keynes "The way to see by [blind] faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Benjamin Franklin Real men keep Torah. Knighted into the Army of Yahuwah on 10-9-10. Dear disaffected Democrats: Welcome to the Libertarian Party, we think you will find our social tolerance delightful. However in exchange for this, you're going to have to find a way to be ok with people keeping their guns and more of their money. Dear disaffected Republicans: Welcome to the Libertarian Party, we think you will find our small government economic policies to your liking. However in exchange you will have to find a way to be ok with "the gays" getting married. Snacks are on the table, help yourself. Please introduce yourself to someone on "the other side", you might be astonished just how much you actually have in common. |

Before, those monkeys lived in almost pure bliss. Sleep, eat, play, fuck, rinse and repeat. Introduce money in the mix and everything goes to shit. When we were kids, we were thought to share, and everyone was happy. Then we grew up and were thought trade was a better system, and we're all miserable. Fucking bankers. |

Hypertiger User ID: 12277324 Canada 07/16/2012 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because you all are socially engineered to think you are realized ideals from birth. You all are not Human beings...you operate like Animals. You all basically follow the same path that bacteria do. The path of least resistence by default because that is the easiest path to follow. The path of most resistance is the path Human beings follow. You can strive to be a Human being...But you are not born as one. Basically if you think you are a Human being...You are suffering from a delusion. The path of least resistance or takeing more power than you give in order to sustain existence is what animals do. They chop down trees faster than they regrow to survive. It's the default or mindless path Beavers never seem to be able to chop whole forrests down. People can though given enough time. But Human beings follow the path of most resistance. They choose to chop down trees as fast as or slower than they regrow in order to sustain existence. The knowledgeable path The path of least resistance is finite and fragile. The path of most resistance is infinite and indesturctible. Of course as long as the trees don't run out. Basically what you all call civilization is more of a domestication. You were taught to think you are Human beings. That is sustained by taking more than you give...or chopping down trees faster than they regrow...until the trees run out. Then what is called civilization collapses. An you all just say...Oh well...It's just Human nature. But it's not Human nature at all. After the dust settles...The top or owners of the enterprise employ the survivors to do it all over again. |
