Here's a thought...

**Exo** · 04-06-2012, 10:12 PM

Does anybody think that we as a society are doing things and believing in things that will be frowned upon and shamed in the future?

For example...

Our people used to own slaves.
Women couldn't vote.
Homosexuality was COMPLETELY not allowed.
Even when slavery was abolished there was little civil rights.
Prohibition.

As a society we eventually came to our sense on these subjects but the way human history works is that it will never end. In 50 years we're going to look back and go "Wow were we in the wrong on that".

My question is what do you think that'll be?

panties watching - the shape and texture and fabric is so sexually alluring, women will part their skirts for men to watch in the future

The dream is for a few generations down the line to look back and say "Wow, we really blew that whole gender thing out of proportion then, didn't we?"

Gender is an unnecessary construct.

The sad thing is that killing gays may still be around for a long time. In Uganda, there is another attempt to kill anyone who is a homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual. I found this out from a friend. That bill is called Kill the Gays bill. It is so disgusting and so inhumane.

My hope is that Killing Gays will be totally illegal.

I like to think about greek mythology, and that one day the holy bible will be looked upon in the same light.

Came here to say this. And it will be the case, too. It's staring us right in the face. People will say "Can you believe this stuff used to be illegal? What were they thinking?" "I know, righ?, and what's funny is now it's mandatory! HA"

criminalization of drugs
Organized religion
Allowing oil to monopolize certain aspects of the energy market
Not having regulation for reproduction
preventing medical research due to outdated moral concerns or to prevent competition for less effective, but more profitable and manageable medicines/practices
etc.

Yeah, I would say that as well. I don't use marijuana (and nor do I care to ever use it - not for me at all), but the fact that it's still illegal is pretty ridiculous. As far as I know, it's never had a bad impact on society as a whole.

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
