      100 years from now Americans will find it hard to accept that we practiced abortion just as we find it hard to accept that our forefathers practiced slavery in their time.

                Or didn't beleive in. Finding no physical evidence of something does not prove it does not exist.

                - Actually believed warfare was a good thing.

                - didn't have personal AI advisors.

                - relied on human judges and police forces.

                - accepted world famine as just and humane.

                - permitted corporations such freedom and power to pursue political objectives.

                I'm an optimist, aren't I?

                  - didn't abolish slavery, just moved it oversees to Asia so that we wouldn't have to see it every day.

                    **** on a shingle. I thought that this was a fun thread topic, but I should've guessed that "other people" would wind up using it as another excuse to jack themselves off with their one-trick ponyism.

                        It is interesting how the next 100 years will bring about the destruction of all those ideas we currently disagree with, isn't it Loin?

                        I think that in 100 year people will be surprised...

                        ... that many of us would refuse to genetically improve our children, at least for the sake of removing the chance of birth defects.

                        ... That Europe was so irreligious.

                        ... How China didn't take over the world.

                          ...F***ing bastards. My world's falling apart cause they were so negligent about climate change, global instability, and deficet spending.

                          After all, I complain about how people 50 years ago didn't plan ahead for 2003, so in 2103 I expect they'll be complaining about how we didn't plan ahead for them.
                          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                          -Richard Dawkins

                            That you needed to type to post online

                            That people believed in "race'

                            That fats were demonized, as well as sugar

                            That we wasted so much that we scoured the oceans of large fish.

                            That any listened to country music.
