Pull up your pants and learn to talk? - So you obviously believe that clothes are meant to be efficient and functional above all.
I had this debate in my head a couple days ago. A friend told me they wanted to have really big wheels on their car. I know that this is prevalent in inner-city culture where they find it to be fashionable, but I also know that it's not good for the car or gas mileage.
So the question becomes.. when were not just looking at it from the perspective of "well, people like you like this, so it must be bad", the question becomes.. it is okay to place a certain "look" above funtionality? Is not doing so considered stupid? I guess you could say... does art ever have a place in our lives before functionality?
It would be hard to find a good job talking and dressing the way you do - Does this imply that it is your belief that all Humans should participate in capitalism regardless of how they are their culture feels about it? So in this way, it is best for a Human to act in such a way as to most efficiently allow them to participate in capitalism?
What's more.. who's to say this culture your speaking with had the opportunity to recieve enough education from which they might have the ability to come to the conclusion that capitalism is something they should prioritze highly?
Calling the black race "inferior". You sound like Hitler. We are all brothers and sisters in life. Not a single one of us asked to be here. Not very many of us are raised with the mindset that participation in the capitalism system is a neccesity. In fact... all through school, you learn to go to college.. why? Not to start your own company, but so you can get a good internship, and job working for some random company. That's not contribuing to true capitalism. That's just making yourself a slave in exchange for currency.
I never told you anything of the sort, I don't even have a car.
