Really, for
's sake, type something worth debating. This kind of argument is crap. It's like saying Guiding Light is a better show than Days of Our Lives (real answer? All My Children. empirically provable).
Next time you step on a nail, or run the risk of picking up polio, have fresh vegetables in the wintertime, communicate with dozens of assholes on CAG, find your job is made simpler thanks to your computer and the internet, find that the chickenbreasts you bought 4 months ago aren't decayed thanks to refrigeration, fill your tank with unleaded and discover that you've reached 200,000 miles on one engine, bought an item that was thought of in the us, manufactured in China, and shipped to the US -
are you going to thank "political structure" over "science"?
I'm sure you will, out of the need for "philosophical consistency." But you're just being a pedantic brat at that point.
Or you're just being a semantic prat.
I mean - really, now. You - YOU - are praising government and the political structure? P'shaw. Now you're just being contrarian for its own sake.[/QUOTE]
I'm glad you've decided to join the dark side and honor the achievements of men, their profit, and relative advancement they've bestowed upon society through innovation and technology. It was most graciously accomplished without the Socialist overlords directing scientific breakthrough.
Now, if only you could reconcile your new found beliefs with your campaign to save the earth from technological destruction brought to you by the same people that gave you that refrigerator and microwave. Be truthful, Myke, you HATE technology, it's wasteful.
There's also that annoying conscience of yours that says we all need to be saved from ourselves, our evil nature, and inability to provide for our own needs and make good decisions without the help of the common good, or the State, whichever you prefer.
I feel the conflict within you. Which is it, Myke? Are we more advanced because we're idiots who can't care for themselves? Or are we heroes because we can boil water in a minute thirty yet can't decide whether to buy an SUV or a Toyota Prius? There is only surface with your attempts at argument, Myke, and no depth at all.
