7 Wonders of the World by a Child

Some students were asked to list what they thought were the present “Seven Wonders of the World.” Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”

The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.” The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ are:

1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And to Love.”

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!

Carl Sagan "The Choice"  

Posted by Argentum Vulgaris

 
 
"Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group. Initially our loyalties were to ourselves and our immediate family, next, to bands of wandering hunter-gatherers, then to tribes, small settlements, city-states, nations. We have broadened the circle of those we love. We have now organized what are modestly described as super-powers, which include groups of people from divergent ethnic and cultural backgrounds working in some sense together — surely a humanizing and character building experience. If we are to survive, our loyalties must be broadened further, to include the whole human community, the entire planet Earth. Many of those who run the nations will find this idea unpleasant. They will fear the loss of power. We will hear much about treason and disloyalty. Rich nation-states will have to share their wealth with poor ones. But the choice, as H. G. Wells once said in a different context, is clearly the universe or nothing."

How Stupid Can You Get?

Today among the headlines:

French move to ban prostitution by punishing clients

 

France's parliament is to debate abolishing prostitution through a crackdown which would criminalise payment for sex. 

The National Assembly will vote on a symbolic resolution drafted by a cross-party commission which, if successful, will be followed by a bill in January.

The resolution urges abolition at a time when "prostitution seems to be becoming routine in Europe".

Some campaigners reject the bill, advocating prostitutes' rights instead.

Around 20,000 people are believed to be working as prostitutes in France.

How stupid? How utterly futile? How banal? 

Many witches were merely prostitutes
Prostitution will never be, and cannot ever be stopped.

Reportedly the world's oldest profession it has survived ice ages, it has survived Jesus, it has survived religious inquisitions, witch hunts the church and defied society since the beginning of humanity.

What do they expect? Simply because of 'another law' it will just up and vanish?

Listen you stupid, stupid people you're talking about sex here.

Praying mantis devours her mates
Let's for a moment examine what sex is. The bare bones of sex (excuse the pun). Sex is what we have called the propagation of our species. It is the strongest force that exists within each and everyone of us, probably stronger than the need to eat and breathe. Other species on this vile little world die and cannibalise their mates for the need to procreate. Humans are no different, the need to procreate is why we are here. Do you really think that we are here to be nice, to make money, to invent, to get married and have 2.2 children and a nice house?

If you think this then you are stupid.

We are here to have propagate (read: have sex) our species and absolutely no other ethereal reason can change that. All the other bullshit is merely collateral damage.

A bitch searches out a suitable dog by smelling his urine. By this she can tell whether the dog would be a suitable sire for her puppies.

Mankind is the same, the woman searches for a man who can sustain her and her offspring; it's called marriage.

Dogs are polygamous, almost every species (bar a few) are. Man is no different. Man is polygamous, the need to propagate (have sex) the man is in search for any female who thinks that he may be suitable as a sire. Yes, a sire, nothing more than that.

It doesn't matter if the female is 'hunted' within society in a bar or a church social, it doesn't matter if the woman is sitting in a window in Amsterdam or walking along Avenida Atlantica in Copacabana; man's instinct is to have sex.

Sex for money, that's what prostitution is, sex for money or some other form of recompense in order to survive.

What's marriage? The same damn thing. You can have sex with me so that I may have offspring (children) as long as you support me and the children with money and physical comforts.

Yes, the bare bones of the matter is marriage is a form of prostitution.

Love, what about love?

Love is merely what we call the satisfaction, the emotion of finding a person suitable for her ends. It might well be called 'success'.

Love is a female emotion. Men never love, the equivalent emotion is men is lust, which can also be translated as 'success'.

I hear you, if love doesn't exist; how do you explain homosexuals?

My answer is another question, have you never seen a dog mount another dog, or a bitch do the same to another bitch? If you haven't, then I have; and I have seen it a lot more often than I have seen homosexual couples kissing in the street. Dogs often do this as a form of dominance.

The need for sex is so strong that regardless of what man does, like making banal laws, you'll never stop it.

You can look at the desire to control sex in another light. The people can be controlled through their need for sex or their fear.

Why do you think that the church exists? To control man. Those in power want the people subjugated and under control, the church is nothing more than a government instilled propaganda machine.

If you want to rid the world of prostitution the you have to look at the root cause... the church and church sanctioned prostitution - marriage.
