Gibo,

'if lock yourself away and feed on a diet of dark music, alcohol, drugs, witchcraft youre going to be different. '
As I said, Extroverts too commit suicide. Extroverts too go on killing sprees. Why do you think 'dark' music makes people different rather than 'different' people like 'dark' music?

Romany,

It's interesting the differences between how you see yourself and how others see you. I know my shyness has often been misinterpreted as arrogance. I have a couple of friends who have said when they first met me that's how I came off.

'I think its we who make ourselves uncomfortable by worrying about how people may be judging us.'

That's true, but I've had many people be quite agressive in trying to force me to converse with them on their terms, especially as a child. I remember fondly the one or two adults who would leave me be, and allow me to approach them, or not, however I felt comfortable.

Col,

I only ever saw the movie a clockwork orange, but I did like it and agree with your post. I read Brave New World and that also discusses the engineering of personality.

All drugs do is cause brain damage.Place yourself around people you can learn from socially .It is about being a person is being around people that know your doing well and they are positive in all they do as being around people is good for all.Constant television is not good for ones health.Read all the health warnings .Do not take drugs as exercise and food adjustment will cure many problems .Do not smoke or take drugs and drinking alcohol ruins your liver.David H.

We inverted our media choices US, I have only seen the movie BNW.

I am a great believer in “diversity” and “chaos”.

We are diverse folk and our lives, through the decisions we take are often chaotic. We meet and copulate and have kids and move on etc and it produces a heady genetic brew from which future generations will be produced.

I acknowledge the benefits of GM crops but am concerned about maintaining the genetic diversity of seed stocks, should an unforeseen blight inadvertently befall the GM crop.

So too with people, diversity produces the criminals and all forms of deviants which we have to deal with but it also produces the prodigies like Mozart and Beethoven. People who can make this humble existence better by the merit of their individual contribution.

Government messing with either genetics or with personality is too dangerous a path to ever contemplate.

"Eugenics" is as discredited these days and rightly so.

Governments or Doctors or anyone else "playing God" is evil.

Somehow, I figure would just miss out on future Mozarts and Beethovens and still get stuck with the Ivan Milats.

Social live always make their rule for equality and respect to other , generally they make rule for it self in public community drugs abuse or alcohol make our community care and try to help the social member ,as we can leaving this rule lets be adapted
