Surely Darwinism and survival of the fittest are the same thing???

 

I don't believe we would have developed as far as we have scientifically without war, but we may have developed emotionally... In the current world, we are very scientific, but it seems we are emotionally retarded...

 

we're too scientific maybe

One word: Ignorance.

 

I'm interested in what you think of Abas Amini's actions, not to argue with, but to see another view on the protest. Posting "one word" answers refering to the people who have expressed their views as "ignorant" isn't constructive.

 

[censored] right

i'm saddened and angered by some of the responses in this thread. at a time when the world is struggling with so much bloody conflict and global lack of love and respect, reading such small-minded opinions here really is a surprise.

 

one of the things i love about the clubbing community is that i find i'm generally surrounded by intelligent, gracious people with a caring world-view. that does not seem to be the case here.

 

there's a cliche about thinking globally and acting locally. it's a cliche because there's a lot of truth to it. think about it.

no surprise - quite normal here - no offense but its not like we really hit the most sophisticated level when we discuss these things, me included. It is after all a clubbing website - not that Im saying it should not be more...

alot of shite has been written in this post but i think its best if i stay out of this one to be honest my extreme views may disturb some of you!

 

Well worth mentioning then.

well i thought so!! its pointless putting forward an opinion on such a matter on this site cos it will just cause a whole load of people to give u [censored] and kick off! it just aint worth the hassle when u get slated for sharing ur beliefs and opinions and get told that theyre not even your views in some cases!

Right. So you only express your opinion when you think everyone will agree with it ?

Have some courage in your convictions.

i have to agree with jon there, i know its only a debate, but people like thet pretentious sod alasdair really like to put everyones opinion down because it doesnt fit in with their 'right on' views...free speech mate, it is still a democracy,

Alasdair is far from pretentious. Its not entirely about democracy its also to do with human rights.

WTF?

 

So it's okay for people to put their views forward, but it's not okay for someone else to criticise them constructively? What kind of a debate is that?

 

1. Alasdair is not pretentious.

2. Alasdair is not a "sod". You are just jealous of the fact that he can formulate a coherent argument.

A debate isn't really a debate without a bit of critisism.

 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless of who is right and who is wrong.

[Capn Jack]

If your opinion doesn't stand up to a constructive arguement/discussion then perhaps that opinion needs to be re-evaluated.

Well said, Jack. Are we a nation of [censored] sycophants or what?
