    Why? And this very thread shows your ignorance of history, as most of the things you pointed out are BETTER now than before.
    Are you going back to year 1?

    I'm not:rolleyes2

    ignorance of history?

    So I've gotten As in college history classes and I'm ignorant? interesting.

    It's like "whites" when whites kept segregations for over 80 years. Just because it's been around for so long doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

    And you'll be better off labeling yourself,

    You aren't making much sense. Anyway, I don't see why McDonalds workers eating the food there is much of a problem. I got a store discount when I worked at Longs and I shopped there all the time.

    PS: You can get A's and still be ignorant. I've done it.

    Then why do you insist that wars, racism, and (my personal favorite) "prejudism" are worse now?

    It's like "whites" when whites kept segregations for over 80 years. Just because it's been around for so long doesn't mean it has to stay that way.
    ... what does that have to do with anything?

    It's funny, when people have to think 'bout something that goes against what they believe they stop thinking.

    Think 'bout it.

    Weren't you the one saying "all of those things have been here for a log time(in history)"

    Yes, and I said it's gotten BETTER. Which is something you've ignored because, using your own words (though more coherently) you apparently stop thinking when faced with something you don't agree with.

    Oh. He's saying that because we were able to end segregation we should be able to end all the other stuff on his list too. As in, just because it lasted a long time doesn't mean it should always be there.

    I only went with the McDonalds tangent because it was the only explanation for job exploitation I got in this thread.

    Now that I think about it, this is a pretty good e-battle going on here. Both of you guys are equally stubborn, and equally sure that your form of 'logic' is the only correct way to think.

    I don't know, I think Del Murder is being very clear...
    As for society, many variables must be taken in light in order to determine how good a society is. One of the biggest is opinion and opinion changes person to person.

    I never said I wanted to end EVERYTHING on my list. Hell at least with one I'll be happy. Most of the things on my list are still or worse than they were 20 years ago.

    And when I say end it, I mean (not completely ending it, that's impossible) but at least 80%.

    80%? You won't accept 60%? Cause that's pretty good.

    Wars will be around forever. When you have peace, that only gives times for tensions to rise and start war again.

    Terrorism is pretty old too.

    Racism can be done away with, but don't expect it to change much.

    I don't understand job exploitation, and "precijudism" (prejudice!) is pretty much the same as racism.

    How low, can't you find a better way to defend yourself than to criticize the way I go 'bout my setences.

    Not only that, then you have to go use my lines to TRY to make your point,
