          Well, I guess, the meaning of life is to create posterity, if you succeeded in that, then you are good at life. Right?

          Before you ask, I'm failing atm...

                  Ants are communists without a leader but a honorary queen instead.

                    You know, not every single thing about communism is bad. Just like any other system, it has its good and bad parts of its ideology.

                      All ideologies are good until exploited. Think of anarchism, it could be awesome for a united world only if most humans weren't assholes.

                            @chaoshype there is not much good to be said about fascism

                            But yes, anarchism and communism definitely have a few good qualities.

                              Fascism favours aggressive nationalism, same with Nazism which is what makes it wrong but they are just made up in the minds of dictators and not meant for soceital harmony.

                                                    ФАНТОМ РИКИ!!!!

                                                      the problem with political views of soultrap are mainly about the fact that u cant figure out whether thise are his thoughts or nah.
                                                      in early 00s, the society here had a pretty, well, average distribution of political points of view. lets say we had 10% liberals, 10% conservatives and 80% of, uhm, ppl who were in between.
                                                      however, during the last 7-8 years, due to massive and constant propaganda on tv/internet (usually indirect one), the 80% of moderate votes were moved to the camp of conservatives.
                                                      so atm 1 out of conservatives is politically okay, has his own views, etc., while the other 9 are there cz they were forced to, and mostly do not even realize that.

                                                      I agree with this.

                                                      that also influenced the attitude of the liberal 1/10 of society, cz now they see that most conservatives are, uhm, retarded, and feel free to assume that being conservative equals being politically blind, which in most cases turns out to be true. this effect, on the other hand, caused even greater tension in between the two groups, cz your average Soultrap supporting Putin and Co meets mostly either ppl who share his views, or those ones who act agressively towards him and consider him subhuman, which makes him believe that his pov is right. the element of constructive political confrontation is completely gone.

                                                      I can't speak for other liberals, but I consider myself a liberal.

                                                      I don't consider Soultrap subhuman or evil, I believe that he is a decent person who is misguided by propaganda or simply grew up in a society where those views were common and therefore he himself has adopted those views.

                                                      Soultrap

                                                        I never voted for Putin. In 2004 I voted for Irina Hakamada and "SPS" party she represented (with Boris Nemtsov BTW). Putin won with ~70% then, and I never voted for president after that.

                                                        But I start to sympathize Putin after everything what happened in Ukraine. It feels like no matter who will be our next president after Putin, he will be MUCH worse. So I wish him to stay our president for the rest of his life. =)

                                                          Living in China, I always thought the CCP were liars who spread bullshit about everything.

                                                          Then I lived in America and the sad truth was clear. Much of the CCP's criticisms of the US were actually true (and if anything, are much too mild). Much of US local reporting is also propaganda in favor of power, money, and privelege, just like China.
                                                          Honestly, I don't care for "freedom" anymore. You have more freedoms on paper in the USA, but any real attempt at exercising them beyond personal complaints gets punished, just like in China. If you are an official of any capacity in government, media, or big corporation, even your public persona must be politically correct, just like China but with different standards. It's all really the same.

Like last week there was news about Israel upgrading their anti-aircraft artillery, and instead seeing that as potentially harmful, unnecessary or asking where they have the money from, they put it as a necessity to defend against Palestina.

There are plenty of animals which are naturally homosexual - they can actually switch sexes and reproduce. Some shrimp switch sexes every two weeks when they molt. Some nutibranches are bi-sexual all the time.

                                                                                            Humans are heterosexual. It's a biological fact. People can be confused, deluded, insane or however you want to describe their failing to be attracted to functional sexual partners. But they cannot actually be homosexual. Is does not matter what anyone believes. Is does not matter how you feel about it.

                                                                                            Homosexuality is a mental disease. No religious beliefs, politically correct speech, laws people write or passionate feelings can ever alter that fact.

                                                                                            ----------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                                            I am one of the very few who is truly NOT a racist. This is because there is no rational basis for splitting the human race into sub-catagories. There is also no rational dividing line between those who might self-identify as "white", "black", or whatever they may choose. You can't quantify the racial phenotypes or genotypes. They are entirely subjective.

                                                                                            People of all "races" have precisely the same skin color. It is all melanin and will be exactly the same color when measured spectrometrically. Some have a higher concentration of that pigment some have a lower concentration. As everyone knows skin will get darker in response to exposure to sunlight... did that change your "race"?

                                                                                            Everyone on the entire planet has exactly the same set of ancestors and you don't have to go back even 1000 years to get to that point. Everyone's family tree going back will lead to a list of exactly the same people. People have traveled and interbred all over the world for millenia. It's not a new thing.

                                                                                            Think about it. 20 years for a generation. 1000 years is 50 generations. How many ancestors do you have? 2^50 = 1125 trillion ancestors....? How? There were nowhere near that many people! This is because before you get anywhere near 1000 years back 100% of your ancestors are inbred. It's a mathematical fact.

                                                                                            You are decended from the same people as everyone else. One generation is required to produce ALL of the genetic diversity in skin color. Just one. You can get sibblings who are very light and very dark skinned. Even fraternal twins can be this way.

                                                                                            Racism is entirely a social belief and has no basis in fact. You are not black or white. It's a meaningless construct.

                                                                                            Think about it. Jews, Russians, Chinese, Nigerians, Australian Aborigines, Cherokees, Peruvians, Pinoy, Pakistanis... they all have the same ancestors as KKK members and you don't even need to go back to the time of the crusades to establish this. Populations are not seperate, even across oceans. People have moved all over in migrations and armies. Nations have often switched places, arose and been dispersed.
