The Masses

What is the most important thing in natrual selection/evolution? This is a trick question since most will say how well suited a species is to its environment. The reality is that it is populations size, or in other words how widespread a given mutation becomes. Even the best suited species cannot compete against large numbers of average suited species.
SO...in human existance what is the most important trait; the ability to critically reason or the ability to blindly follow. I will acknowledge that for this discussion I assume that these are genetic characteristics even though this is not fundamental to the argument. It would be assumed that a human that can critically observe its surroundings and make learned decisions would be the most successful...yes, if it was a one on one struggle with a human that had a lesser ability to do this (also assuming this does not include mortal combat). However, people who are more easy to manipulate (whether genetic or human produced), act in large masses and are quick to act compared to the reasoned individual. Does this then mean that in human society, the lockstep mass movements of those that are lesser critical thinkers will triumph over the rag tag poderers?

What happened to Mase?

Diddy can't sleep cuz he is in love with his work. I saw a couple minutes of some show where people compete to be Sean Combs' assistant. In the show, Mr. Combs butchers the entire meaning of a common cliche.

The cliche: You can't see the forest through the trees.

With this, there is an assumption in the statement that it is desirable to see the forest...there is some value for the observer in seeing the forest.

Mr. Combs' version: If you can't see the forest through the trees, then you better cut down those fu*kin' trees.

It is obvious that he does not understand the meaning of the saying, that observing the forest has nothing to do with the physicality of what is being observed, but the perspective/focus of the observer. As you all know...the trees are the forest and you destroy the value of that object! This is an easy analysis and not much discussion to be had. But you have to think, what a badass to make a bold statement that he is so ignorant of his own ignorance.

Have you witnessed somebody totally butchering the meaning of a common cliche?

Meta

I decided to join my teens and signed up[ for the facedbooks.
It's this website where you can use it to find old friends. or people you went to school with or desperate people you can bone. That's how I used to use friendster. I don't think friendster even exists anymore, it got put out of business by myspace.

This is the story of my journey.

Smart.
They make you use a real email.
That will make sure I don't have to deal with spammers, but might not stop me from dealing with 40 year old men who pretend to be bicurious 13 year old girls. If that is what kind of chatrooms or whatever they use here. Are there chatrooms? guess I'll find out.


Shit.
My girlfriends on here. That's going to cut down on me finding some GGG thai ladyboys.

Jesus.
The whole thing is my frisbee contacts.
I don't like any of those people, and they don't like me. Why do I have so many ultimate sporting folk email contacts in my gmail.

It keeps wanting me to link up with other people. There's Burkle and Dinnerbone from high School, that's funny. Ten minutes in, and Shane wants to add me.
I'm ashamed of myself already. This could be because I added a camwhore picture of myself. It's also from 8 years ago, so I'm fatter and balder now.


Alright.
Signed up. Added picture.
Now what the hell do I do?
Willing to accept any suggestions on what I do with this now.
Probably look up Beverly Goodman. She was cute back in Mrs. Randolph's class.

I just added LB as my girlfriend.
Facebook emailed her to ask if we were going out.

I Can't Drive 55...

I just experience their kangaroo court in Bloomingdale, GA. I was supposedly clocked at 67 in a 45...I was not going over 60 since I thought it was 55; I was probably wasn't going over 55 since I was in a long line of cars. In any event, I was pulled over under very questionable circumstances. I was 'strongly' urged to go to court by the officer becuase "the judge will usuall help you out with points." So I went... and realized I was part of a scam to rake in money. EVERYONE'S (as a blanket statement before the 'judge' heard any cases) "speed was reduced" as to not add points to your license. In other words, they don't want any indicator of your ticket to go to the state or insurance companies so that they don't find out about their little money making scheme. SO, they jack up your speed, as to increase the graduated fine; a fine that can be only paid with cash or money order and have an ATM on site. Also, for a couple teenagers and college students, the judge gave them a choice of "a stiff fine" or "defensive driving school AND five visits to church." Absolutely rediculous.

I reported to the county DA. The woman who I was 'forced' to speak to told me, "honey, I know the judge personally, he isn't doing anything wrong." I argued around in circles for about 10 minutes about topics such as the correlation between church and speeding and misrepresenting speeds to increase fines and I was told I would have to go speak to that court. Boy, that should work. I have come to find out that everybody knows this about this town and look the other way. It was quite interesting.

TAKE THE GOOD TAKE THE BAD TAKE THEM BOTH AND THERE YOU HAVE

Adam brought a good point earlier in the comments. Of course I forgot what it was, but it made me think of a greater point. On one hand you got crimes, on the other hand you got morals. Take my list of “hypothetical” acts below, copy and paste them into the comments, and arrange them from most heinous to least in order of moral outrage that the act fills you with.

-BUILDING A NUCLEAR REACTOR IN YOUR GARAGE
-INTENTIONALLY KILLING A SQUIRREL
-DRIVING AFTER 3 BEERS
-HOOKING UP WITH A FAT GIRL YOU WILL NEVER TALK TO AGAIN
-MAKING FUN OF OLD PEOPLE TO THEIR FACE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM CRY
-STEALING MONEY FROM RETARDED PEOPLE
-FIXING PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENTS IN ORDER TO GAMBLE ON THEM LEGALLY AND PAYING TAXES ON YOUR WINNINGS


Okay?
Now, copy them again and put them in order of what you feel deserves the most jail time.
