I agree, sav - I'm equally lost with this one. Though I understand the words you're saying, I think it'd help us all out if you went into more detailed about something this specific.

you haven't said much of anything, you just implied a **** ton, and you lost a lot of what of the little you did say (or what I think you're trying to say) in sounding pretentious. :)

well what is this "manhood" thing we're talking about? we're increasingly moving to a state where physical labor is replaced by machinery to most jobs can be fulfilled by most people, and it's more a matter of intelligence and will rather than physical standards. as such, the social distinctions based on those physical standards slowly degenerate since they no longer have anything substantial supporting them, except for nostalgia. pretty much we're moving towards a state where all human beings are functionally equivalent and are measured more and more in terms of economical production rather than whatever social constructs they cling to (this is due in part to globalization). however i would maintain that there is a certain degree of "innateness" which these roles we construct play, and that as such it isn't a matter of simply another step in our natural evolution but rather a question of an anti-evolutionary, inorganic anomaly that we have to deal with. by which i refer to the growing military industrial complex tendency towards complete bureaucratization and blind capitalism. naturally.

I'm sorry. I started this, but I already shut up and suggested that we make a topic. However, I am supposed to be running so off I go FOR REAL this time.

of course. I can't believe I didn't get all of that from your original sentence.

The Third Policeman- I think his name was O'brien? I left it in the bed. But it's great and I strongly reccomend it to everyone.


To that other issue, someone make a thread cause I want to add some and don't want to thread jack.
