  A reply on Conversation: Why do people find the need to entrench themselves in rules and policies?

  Jan 7 2013: But the sad part is that some people are in a psychological prison that makes them accept every rule given by a figure of authority without questions asked no matter how pointless or stupid it may be.

  Jan 7 2013: There's nothing i hate more than someone telling me "You can't do this.." or "Who gave you permission.."
  When we're all born equal no one has the authority to decide what someone else can can or can't do. I've always has this mind set since i was a kid
  But i guess a lot of people like being told what to do

• A reply on Conversation: Can planet earth merge with other civilization to improve level of civilization ? What our civilization can offer in exchange ?

  Jan 6 2013: I don't think they're better than us or more advanced. I just think we need to resolve all the disputes between ourselves before bringing other people into it, because we'll probably end up going to war against them and end up getting wiped out or enslaves.
  
  But then again the difference between ourselves and monkeys are only a few percentage in DNA, but in those few percentage we were able to build machines that fly whereas monkey are like retarded in comparison to us.
  So if there really are people out there i don't see why they would want to contact us since the DNA percentage would probably be like thousands in range, which would make us look like dribbling microbes in comparison to them (if the exist)

  Jan 5 2013: I'm going to express my utilitarian view in saying that giving the beggar the money is the right thing to do.
  I'm also going to express my current financial view in saying that my wallet could do with a $20 injection.
