What the fuck is this other than mental masturbation?

"Honour" is nothing more than the hollow sense of self importance in an evolution that doesn't give a fuck. Doing nice things is nice and we all like it when others do nice things for us.

But you have just postulated hollowness in the unfortunate vein of human ignorance which our species has always been plauged with.

This loaded Halmark crap is hardly objective and there isn't one point in human history where a person or group didn't think the cure all for humanity convieniently matched their personal desires.

If this were more than " I can sound wordy and fancy" you could take this tripe to the patent office and win a Nobel Prize in science.

All this amounts to me is the same utopian crap I see from theists and polticians "I like shiney objects".

Your words speak truth to me. I like you, Brian.
