It was once said that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could reproduce the works of shakespeare... Now thanks to the internet we know that this is not true

This thread is why the Flood is no longer interesting. There are way too many people who are selfish, confrontational, ignorant, self absorbed, products of a society that only worships three things: Sex, Aggression, and the all-mighty Dollar Bill.
In 20 years from now, there will be a lot of people with depression issues because they spent their entire lives trying to obtain things they don't really want, and never developed a sense of appreciation.
During the pursuit of these goals, most of which won't serve your sense of worth no matter how hard you try, you will never find happiness, and thus, can only define your success comparatively. As such, you develop a self esteem issue, and attempt to fix your issue by calling out your perceived faults on other people.
"That guy is overweight, and I must stand my ground against this threat by not offering my seat."
"This person is an idiot, and I must argue with them to tell them they are an idiot."
"This lady is too promiscuous to associate myself with, even though I myself am very active with multiple partners, It is wrong for her to do it, for society tells me."
"This person's opinion about video games is wrong because he isn't as good of a player as I am."
All are example of logical fallacies that are often brought on by people who are not adjusted to society...
And that's really what this topic in general is about. People who think that society is a place where "weak" people work -blam!- jobs so the "strong" people can have a sports car, three houses, and all the other lavish things they so rightly deserve.
In reality, society is a way for all to thrive, and for many different careers, recreations, and creeds can coexist in a system that is beneficial to all.
ITT: The Flood demonstrates how extrinsic forces have more weight on them then intrinsic forces, and how they compete to measure up to standards they don't personally believe in, but are too afraid to challenge.
no. ITT people are getting majorly trolled.
