I suspect Jonb was being sarcastic.

Moi?



No, no, no, if you look at humans in their natural environment the family, we can see how they thrive on petty disputes and searing long running bouts of enmity. Humans are evolved to live in this sort of grouping. Therefore to seek out nice people who you are constantly happy to be among runs counter to the whole way we are evolved, so unless you are some sort of socialist with an irrational belief in a Utopia, no good is going to come from it.

Well, then, I am some sort of socialist with an irrational belief in utopia--and so far, on a personal level, things are good!  If you want to live in strife--go for it.

LOL Fricking brilliant. I hope you drink. I've just mailed you a Red Stripe.

Finally, someone who understands the human "family" on both the small and large scales.  I doubt we would find monkeys any different, if we knew what they were talking about.  Mostly about how we need to all toe the line, or the big snake in the sky is going to eat us!  I saw it on a recent nature program ... one of the monkeys at the river got too far out of line (namely too close to the water and not close enough to the other monkeys) and an alligator came up and gave his anti-social face the kiss of death!

Thanks. I found the prop at Gifts at Pages. I have a new place to shop for my daughter's cosplay.

There you go, you have ripped through the very centre of my argument. I have to admit if the nice people are prepared to bribe me, thus corrupting my very essence, my inner self with gifts of an intoxicating nature, then yes in such I drugged state I think it would be possible for me to be able to tolerate the company of you and other nice people. So the only hope now for the people of this forum is that Baruch's semi mythical alligator shows up soon.

Always carry a spare face, in case a predator bites it off!  This is what the Asians call "saving face" ;-)

My face is safest when I keep it shut. That protects me from misinformities and hoof in mouth disease.
