No, little man, YOU start doing what is requested by the admin staff or you'll be moved on.

And watch who the fuck you're talking to!

First and last warning.

You heard what I said. Contribute or move on, period.

Are we going to talk about evolution or are you going to keep on denigrating my intentions? The choice is yours I joined this site and I stand by my words.

I think what we have here, is a person exclaiming that a thing they don't understand can't account for some other thing they don't understand.

And If I am wrong, then I am wrong. You think this is a game?

Of course. Most people, for most of time, have either not had a conception of depression or have actively opposed the acceptance of such a concept. Mental health stigma has been the norm, it's only now that this stigma is being lifted. But I don't really care how many people believe or do not believe in it.

Again, what do you mean by "real?"

First let's wait and see what the tough guys/gals do. Smile

I'd be fascinated if you could explain what you mean by "more advanced"?  This seems to betray a gross misunderstanding of evolution, but I'll withhold judgment.

I'd be glad to talk to you more about it. First I have some priorities to take care of apparently.  Hilarious

You're trying to connect 'genetic' evolution to things that genetic evolution has nothing to do with. Morals being the main topic.

If you can't learn why should we keep talking to you in a civil manner?

Just for shits and giggles, what degree in psychology? What school? Is it from a bible college? An online college? (name/grad year/degree) You made the claim, put up or shut up.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Look at all of that.  A word to say about evolutionary morality?  No.  Not a one.  Have you thought about the things you said you needed to take time to think about? 

How did that work out? Here I am, I'd love to bend your ear about this shit..it's widely seen as tedious so I don't miss many opportunities.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In a similar vein, I'd also say fatalism is like saying, "I can't imagine what it would be like if this thing never existed, therefore it must have always existed."
