I guess I made a mistake and messed up my last post, so I'll try again. I'm about to blow your mind, so wait for it.
You say you believe in "some" kind of god thing, but you don't believe in an afterlife, so by extension that must mean you don't believe in an afterlife justice. You also see no point in equality or fairness, so logically the conclusion to this ideology is to live your life as you wish and fuck everyone else. I wonder, do you even have half the necessary self-awareness to understand that this is precisely the erroneous criticism most theists have of atheists?
In my original post I tried to say that equality is NOT a myth by any means whatsoever. Example: At one time, black people were enslaved in America. That time is no more because of the efforts of people who felt that was not fair, logical, rational and lots of other reasons. People make society the way it is, you dumbass. It doesn't just impose itself.
Another example: At one time women were little more than the property of their husbands. Thanks to centuries of change, that is no more, in our society anyway.
What impresses me the most is that you haven't been beaten to death by rednecks.

Are all those "progressive" changes really for the better?

For the millions of black people it absolutely was. For any Asians who were oppressed it sure was. For the millions of women it was. At one time people with disabilities like a lost limb or blindness couldn't live a full life. For them it certainly is. For homosexuals it is (except for you apparently). The impression I get from you is, hey, I got mine, fuck everyone else. Great attitude, asshole.

One could say every last change thar made today’s world better than that of the 15th century came about because of the progressives. Nothing good as yet, nor ever could, come out of conservatism. One could say the one salient and defining characteristic of conservatism is the morbid fear the world might somehow become less bad than it was yesterday, Or the future of humanity could seem less dark than it had yesterday.

Please stop feeding Ahri. This is getting old. You're only rewarding bad/false behavior.

Surely you do not mean to deprive us of the innocent and light hearted entertainment of biting his head off, chewing it thoroughly, and then spitting the bits down the stump of his neck?

Deprive you... not at all. It's just feeding a disorder that probably should not be fed. If you'll want to continue, have at it, but it won't help him IRL.
A 30 day break might benefit him the most. Negative consequences are about the only thing he actually understands. Telling him he's wrong does not get threw, not talking to him will.

Of course they are. Here's how it works:
