Quote:
Yes it does "to be currently available for selling"
Just one example, the tomato is picked unripe, green, then gassed so it turns red and shipped halfway across the world. If you are OK with that being called "in season" I won't argue with lunacy anymore.

The sub-thread from specific quotes was literally about 100 years ago.
Yes, I already pointed out that is how you are taking it and can't seem to understand the principle of the conversation.
Quote:
And there were people who managed to stay very wealthy during the same time period.
How does that nullify what I said?
Quote:
However the great mass of humanity didn't.
So, because most of humanity was dependent on a broken system those that were doing it right are wrong? Seems logical. :doh:
Quote:
And so to claim that if one was somehow magically transported to then WITHOUT qualification and yet to claim that one is going to be enjoying benefits of some small group (presuming that there were in fact actual benefits) is simply ridiculous.
Agreed. Why did you think I was claiming that?
Quote:
You might as well claim that you are going to buy Australia right now,
No thanks. Too many criminals and big bugs.
Quote:
start growing all your own food without using any "chemicals".
You really need to do research before you go off on things you don't understand. Research homesteading and then come back.

Since that is in fact the definition then I am certainly ok with it.

You picked one extreme case I picked another. Neither are germane to the general question.

Very logical because if one was in fact living then then the very high probability would be that they would be experiencing exactly what the vast majority of the population was. Simple math.

You really have no idea where this sub-thread started do you?

I live in what is wrongly called the mid-west (Ohio river valley region). We do indeed grow all types of produce and raise animals. But as stated the conditions would be bad and I must likely would not be long in the world.
And there are very likely places in the world 100 years ago where the people there, on average, ate better than at least some groups of humans living now. But comparing the average human then to the average human now food is in fact much "better" for almost (and perhaps all) objective views of anything which applies to food.

Quote:
Yet you introduced the topic
Go back and read it. The topic I introduced is pornography is evil and it is much more accessible now than in past. Then you seemed to want to go off on some tangent of its history and people getting beat up over it which I claimed I know nothing about. Perhaps you need to reread the thread to stay in context before responding because you're usually all over the place.

You stated nothing in "the beginning" that indicated you had no knowledge of the history.

You made a statement, which I quoted, and provided a contrasting view with historical accuracy. If you don't feel your original statement was in fact in some way relevant then you shouldn't have made it.

If you can't remember the thread then I suggest you re-read it.

I sometimes wonder if a giant EM pulse took out everything in the world, would it be a better place? No computers, no cell phones. Would miss the transportation. [edit]Actually saw a documentary about this the other day[/edit]
Had battery trouble with the bike. :mad: I do miss the transportation.

If you can't explain yourself then don't post.

Your inability to understand does not instantly translate into a problem for everyone else.

The answer is clearly no. Those are just amoral tools which do not make the world either good or bad. They goodness and badness is in the user. An since people will still exist, the world will not be any better or worse. In effect, the corrupt soul will still exist.

Unfortunately, with most great advancements in technology there are wonderful things and then terrible things. For example, with the internet it is incredibly easy to get access to information. But at the same time pornography is pervasive as well. So, getting rid of it all would get rid of a lot of evil but would also get rid of a lot of good.

Glad to hear that you aren't watching porn. :)

Not at the moment, but +1 for the wit.
