Posting the following text in the space below here , cause there is some weird malfunction that won't let me post in the original misanthropic thread in the message board .

I-BARB POSTED :You are putting the cart in front of the horse, people create their culture not the other way around.

RESPONSE: Then, after culture has been created, culture reconditions and changes the personalities of perople by cultural conditioning on those who allow themselves to be so molded .

I-BARB POSTED :Also to blame sex on the psychopathic behavior of the human race is a pathetic whitewash that just panders to your phobia for sexuality.

RESPONSE: Amplified libido without much cultural counterweights leads to amplified anomie , and a welter of other societal woes .

I-BARB POSTED :All you have to do is WATCH LITTLE CHILDREN! I have both personal first hand memories of watching fellow classmates in grade school cheering on the most abhorrent violence and openly practiced behavior that were they adults have them Baker Act'd in a heartbeat.

RESPONSE: And I have seen first hand examples of how lusy parents often amplify those tendencies. Competitiveness which is so prized by American suburbia ---especially since the postwar economic boon ---is a leaven that leavens the collective societal dough in may sectors of America .

I recall watching a soccer game in 1979, at Lime Street Elementary school, in Lakeland, Florida (yours truly was NOT into playing soccer , but back then I would some times watch when others played) and I recall one of the apparent female adult relative's of the boys who was playing--- calling out to one lad regarding some opponent on the other team exhorting him to kick the opponent with ,

'Kick him in the shins ; it won't hurt for long !' .

Furthermore , you have all the Warner Brothers cartoons that so many youngsters allowed to soak into their minds ---that did not exist in the 1910's, 20's , ect that showed cartoon characters hitting each other with axes , and all sorts of gratuitous violence , and it being treated as entertainment . People do get conditioned by media . Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise .
