T-thank you God

I thank God every day I was born here.

It's not that bad. He could've been Jewish.

I know that feel bro.

thanks

Get off Sup Forums for a moment and go outside, sven
Ryder Barnes
He makes a good point, leaf. Don't deny that people are treated like tools by the system; just things to provide work and spend away their consumerist habits.
Tyler Thomas
As if another system would treat people better...
Yeah I'm sure life was great back when people worked like peasants
Isaac Smith
Before civilization, yeah, I genuinely think life would be much better. Humans aren't supposed to live the way most people do now.
Owen Walker
It's alright, countries with cold climate are a good ones. However the warm climate countries...
Dylan Campbell
i wish greece would go bankrupt and ally with arabs to destroy the west
Ryan Mitchell
>I think life would be better when there was no rule of law and literally no understanding of how things work or should work
Yeah okay my dude.
Hunter Sanders
>T-thank you God and its gone.
Lucas Evans
You make your own laws. It's shitty how you can get "justifiably" arrested for some obscure ass law just because it exists.
Jaxon Evans
It was no better back when your Lord could ride into your village and hang you for thievery just because he couldn't catch the real thief
Or your daughter would be robbed and raped by bandits just because she tried to cross from one holding to another
Zachary Russell
That's fucking retarded and you are an idiot.
>You make your own laws. And then who's going to enforce them?
Jacob Anderson
No shit lmfao
But he's talking even further back, he's talking way before civilization.
Thomas Gutierrez
Feudal times were shit.
>And then who's going to enforce them? You are, pussy. No one should have to do someone else's dirty work.
Gavin Rogers
Ahh yes when your new wife would die at 17 trying to give birth to your child, and then you die at 40, and you lived your whole life in the muck with no tooth brush or real bed or the ability to read
Kayden Perry
this guy has the same eyes as a homeless guy in Amsterdam
why?
Adam Ramirez
same bandana too?
Wyatt Reed
>You are, pussy. No one should have to do someone else's dirty work.
What if someone doesn't follow the rules I thought of and decides to kill me?
Aaron Taylor
>and then you die at 40
That's some optimistic thinking. Before civilization you probably wouldn't live to 25.
>Don't know how to cook food >don't know how to create shelter >Can't work with other people to achieve common goals and help eachothers
Asher Gutierrez
You didn't have guns you stupid burger. You had a sword if you were lucky. And if you were even luckier you could afford to learn how to use it properly. And even if you went up against two men they'd still kill you
Gabriel Reed
If you ignore newborn deaths, which you should since they're not people, the life expectancy of tribals were closer to 70.
Anthony Murphy
>SWORD >BEFORE CIVILIZATION
You mean a rock?
Blake Ramirez
that's hell of a bummer you can speak english tho, so at least you've got that going on for you
Daniel Wilson
No rules at all existed back then, only way to "make them exist" would be to tell someone about it. It's every man for himself. As for them killing you, tough shit. Should have defended yourself.
Jordan Russell
source?
Kayden Hernandez
>It's every man for himself. As for them killing you, tough shit. Should have defended yourself.
That doesn't sound better than modern society.
Landon Bell
That's the good part about it. No one had guns, no one's life could end in a flash unless it was really, really deliberate.
Of course though, I like guns. Guns are good in this day and age. Everyone has them, so everyone keeps eachother in check and no one does anything stupid.
Chase Carter
Better than living that way and knowing it than getting killed by some thug but thinking the law makes everyone equally protected and untouchable.
Jack Walker
Yes because humans just grew out of the ground, individually
Julian Nguyen
No. I would definitely not say that living in such a place is great.
Sounds similar to Somalia or something.
Julian Evans
Are you on drugs?
Bentley James
>Everyone has them, so everyone keeps eachother in check and no one does anything stupid.
Yes... That's why your murder rate is so low compared to every other 1st world country lol
Ethan Cox
Somalians are a bunch of niggers with guns who just want to kill people. Sure, people way back when killed people but not all of them killed so recklessly. And they didn't have guns.
Adam White
You're the one on drugs claiming rules didn't exist before modern civilization
Dominic Perry
>one life, one opportunity >born in a shitty, dangerous country >at least middle class >start phd next year
im coming for you, canada
Charles Adams
pls bring some bunda for me
Henry Davis
Rules are social constructs. They don't technically exist at all, they're a completely mental thing. Think about it, if you break a rule but the person who made the rule doesn't have the power to enforce it, what the fuck can they do?
Jason Morgan
rest easy, i'll make some bunda there for you
Brody Myers
what field are you in at least familiango
Caleb Hernandez
>literally living life on easy mode
lmao are you a pussy? i bet you wouldn't even like to be threatened with a knife on a daily basis
Logan Garcia
physics
Ryan Garcia
Then they will either start to enforce them or try harder to enforce them. Usually enforcement is implied so it's a useless discussion
Hunter Howard
Oh
Are you a genius?
Noah Turner
What do you mean enforcement is implied?
Cameron Edwards
heh
not really, but im giving it my besy
Levi Kelly
>which means I'll be able to invest a little less money per month with my job that affords me my living expenses and allows me money go to on vacations every year and retire comfortably
Since he's so ordinary in everyone's eyes, no one will try to understand him. Someone who will never be hated by others but will never attract anyone either
You'll live life as a matter of course and then die the same way
Gabriel Taylor
what did you mean by this?
Jason Barnes
>illegal in Burgerland to download music for free since musicians couldn't afford their fifth mansion >go on a YouTube converter page and download that shit for free on my phone as an MP3 file like a bad goy >never get in trouble
Parker Morgan
>newborns aren't people Sweden what the fuck
Charles Price
It wasnt as bad as hollywood has made it out to be, nobody lived a life of drudgery in England-people got more days off than they do now, it was only hard when you had to get the harvest in quickly before it goes bad.
life is only better now because of recent technology-fertilisers, antibiotics, understanding of biology and tractors/combustion engines have made a huge difference. not because of society
Parker Sanchez
Those things are pretty fucking important
And research helps us make a better society too, BTW. Understanding of Economics, psychology and sociology helps make logical and effective public policy. That's an important component as well.
