@Setanta,
Surely not "everybody".
It's a terrible thread Set. It completely lacks perspective. Pomposity abounds.
Twembling sensitive souls pontificating about education policy as if it is a mirror wherein one might admire one's image and everyone a total asshole who stuffs his cakehole with scran-tackle, evacuates the excess, of which there is a plentiful supply, out of the whole range of orifices, and manfully attempts to justify his strategies for dealing with ennui which is, of course, the natural condition of our inheritance. All day, every day.
No fighting or kissing. No wine, women and song. Just one long dreary, over-generalised pile of drivel culled from third-rate reading material which is engaged with for no other reason than to improve the capacity to produce more of the same and in which we are all mechanical clockwork oranges past their sell-by dates.
The odd thing is that evolution is concerned with nothing else but fighting and kissing.
Where in evolution is the precursor of searching the Web for articles written by people in remote locations who can hardly read and write but who know the right people, and what they approve of, and pasting them up on here for our delectation as if they represent the source of all wisdom?
And fawning over the end product in grovelling, mawkish, maudling mode, presumably in search of reciprocating pistoning, is as contradictory of the principles of evolution as setting out the dining table with doilies, place-cards and cutlery formations copied from the books of etiquette written by high-placed ladies to fill the vacuum left when they no longer receive lovers in jasmine-scented, satin-sheeted four-poster beds, kitted out with lingerie confections and infibulations of gold, silver or chrome-plated steel shaped by experts.
What is your biological explanation of that?
