- frying and eating chicken fetuses.
- paying people that do heavy work less than people who do intelligent work.
- 90% of everything about sex...
- hillbillies and rednecks
- growing food that taste crap in glass houses.

Also I don't really see how using the Internet is strange...

we eat meat everyday, but when we see that kind of animal is killed in front of our eyes, we say "poor animal"

We drink milk from cow tits, and eat eggs from tons of different animals.

Kinda gross if you think about it.

Large supply of undereducated/strong men, low supply of intelligent people. You do the maths, it's only logical.
Why should you, as a boss, pay someone more who can easily be replaced than someone who is rare and is hard to replace?
You don't, so we don't pay people who do manual labor much.

It's okay to kill chicken and cows, but it's wrong to kill hamsters, cats, and dogs.

It's okay to kill chickens for food, but cock fighting is wrong.

You can go to war before you can drink.

I dunno, the amount of REALLY strong men is pretty limited as well, probably more limited than the smart supply. there's more than enough of the mediums though.

that is because the intelligent people in America know that your brain is still developing in your 20s and that drinking makes you a lot dumber than you normally would be if you didn't drink. Thats why the legal drinking age is so high compared to some other countries. Plus theres scientific evidence that drinking earlier increases the chance of you being an alcoholic. I think we all agree that there are enough drunks sleeping in the gutter already.

Technically, the drinking age limit should be 24 or 25 since that is when your brain is fully developed. I know thats going to cause a lot of the teenagers on this forum to rage...too bad they just don't know better.

The voting age was actually 21 before. Good thing that shit was amended.

-People worshiping, kissing, praying to, and wearing mini-replicas of one of the most brutal forms of torture and death penalty in the history of man - crucifixion. And the fact that they actually find comfort from starting at a statue of a badly mistreated man nailed to bars of wood and soaked in blood. (Religion and theism in general - it's all very strange).

-Providing "human rights" for murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals. Not to mention free tax-funded organ transplants in certain states with a high likelihood of getting a complimentary "bump" up the list.

politicians and rich men that get away with crimes and thieving while ordinary people that get extra ordinary prison sentences...

Think about it, A guy from an investment plan that steals millions from people get a bunch of news addict journaliste for a week or two, go to prison (nice prisons unlike shit ones for other people) and only do 1/5th of their prison time

Ordinary people which commit bank theft are acused with incredible sentences that they have to purge completly for what 100 grand? pfft nonsense

Weed is still illegal, but cigarettes and alcohol are not.

Seriously, how many people do you hear on the news getting into fatal car accidents after getting high?

shedding some of my opinion

- whats going to last longer? brain or your bodies physical limit. (brain)

- what do you do to get out of war even during war(drink)

- getting high makes you think more, and in scientific studies proven to make a persons brain mature/grow faster making people smarter where as the other stuff(drinking smoking ruins you) aso cocaine and meth does mess you up but weed doesnt.

now my things that i find weird.

the time, i mean why was it 24 hours?
- was it because thats all man could stand without getting tired?

why are some people insomniacs

the way girls can be bipolar on there monthly time.

yeah...strong people have really been phased out. replaced by the technology the smart people developed. So whats left aren't really strong people doing manual labor. Its people with less intelligence doing manual labor. Not that im looking down on them but if they were smarter than they'd probably be the boss or have a better career(doctor/lawyer/chemist). The fact is you don't need alot of intelligence to lay bricks or work at Mcdonalds or paint houses and common people are well...common. The reason why a bachelors degree is worth garbage now is because soooooo many people have one they don't mean anything. The further up you go the better the pay because fewer people have PhDs....you get the idea...

OnT: I've always found the english language weird. Like sometimes i'll spell a word and i'll have to double take cause it looks so wrong(this word looks weird). All languages really seem weird to me when i think about it...a bunch of noise that unless you know what it means is utterly incomprehensible chatter...

- How people smoke cigarettes even though there's a huge picture representing cancer and a warning message.

- How weed is still illegal. Seriously,weed is so common,might aswell make it legal.

I think as time goes by, manual laborers will be even more rare. Education is becoming the fast-track to success, and college is basically a requirement these days. Finding somebody to lay bricks or build the things the smart asses design is going to be tough in the future.
