'I "know" nature is cruel in its indifference....but human's are "calculatingly" cruel and barbaric by design when it suits them. '
Funny when I mention the adamic or eve nature I get blasted for being negative, judgemental etc etc. Oh well wonders never cease! My observation is consistently confirmed by humans who are 'cruel and barbaric by design when it suits them. ' Of course feminist are exceptions.

"I'm well aware of nature's mercilessness and ferocity. I think you willfully misconstrued my comment which goes to heart of the inherent aptitude of an intelligent and ideological species to employ those gifts to serve its baser instincts"

Tedious as it is, it bears repeating.

Poirot, I did not misconsture your comments; I don't have to, they speak for themselves, your position is plain. I say to you, is not man the only animal who can overcome his base instincts and generate a morality which protects, sustains and encourages the weak, infirm and disadvantaged who would otherwise be culled by nature?

You are a typical AGW believer; your glass is 1/2 empty and all you can see is humanity's bad qualities, not our capacity for good and potential to do more.

What a bleak little man you are and what a shame your world-view so perniciously permeates policy throughout the world today.

Go and take some happy pills!

cohenite,

What a silly comment. Of course I can see the good side of humanity. You put it very well, "....the only animal who can overcome his base instincts and generate morality which protects, sustains and encourages the weak, infirm and disadvantaged who would otherwise be culled by nature."

But "moralities' can also serve as avenues for humanity to express base instincts - like stoning, for instance.

Like I said, what an odd species.

"...all you can see is humanity's bad qualities...."

Nope, I see both sides.

(Do you really think I'm a guy?)

"Do you really think I'm a guy?"

A guy very much in touch with his feminine side. But then Poirot, while a male character was written by a woman.

But "moralities' can also serve as avenues for humanity to express base instincts - like stoning, for instance.
Poirot,
Yes, and maggotting within the Public Service for example & discriminating against victims as in Australian Law & protecting & rewarding criminals. Or giving yourself $1000/week pay rise if you happen to be in federal government whilst your pensioners are living in misery. Oh yes, very basic instincts all.

Ms Scutt,

What a nasty and treacherous piece of evil you write. Seething with accusation, spite and hatred of all things men. It's not an appeal by a damsel in distress. Nope, it's a name, blame and shame attack. It's a summing up by the prosecution of the guilt of all men as a class in accordance with loony Marxist feminist dogma, ingested and regurgitated, using the very same methods of those you condemn. The methods of ideological divisive manipulation.

"For as long as one woman is at risk of death at the hands of a legal system devised and enforced by men, then men are responsible," you write.

No I'm not Ms Scutt! You can go take your guilt trip and stick it! I'm not responsible for anything simply on the basis of being a man. Your statement presents a delusion of an irrational bigot.

I am not individually responsible for the reprehensible violence that fills the world every day. Shocked, annoyed, frustrated, angry perhaps, but not responsible. I don't do these things and I don't endorse or condone them. It's a violent world. Live with it. Improve peaceful and harmonious relations within your own sphere with the individuals around you, including men. Set an example, set the standard. That's what you and everybody can do about it.

Drumming up divisive hatred in sexist class warfare is not how you improve the world. It simply exacerbates the problem. Crazy ideologies with lack of respect for individual people, espoused here by yourself, are the very cause of exactly what you complain about.

I will not be taking up arms to fight your ideological war for you. I will not go on some dutiful crusade for all womankind on the battlefield or anywhere else, driven by a stick of some irrational decree of guilt and prejudiced sentence of blame and shame, just for being a man.

You can go do your own bidding.

And don't go sending me any of those white feathers either - I'd simply be tickled pink.

Good luck Ms Scutt.

PS - cohenite, like your stuff.
