Man, what a line.

what king of retarded idea is abolishing an emotion anyway? vanity is just a word to describe a certain type of behavior, one that every human being feels from time to time.

as for the Nazis, they only called themselves socialists to steal votes from the Socialist party that already existed. hitler was sneaky and smart, but the Nazis were doomed from the start. oddly, the term carpet muncher was created as a joke about hitler by his inner circle cause he used to have fits and get down on the floor and chew the carpet. read "the rise and fall of the third reich" it is the most interesting book on WW2 that i have found.

What we should really be striving for, as a people with a strong, intelligent moral cause, is not to have any bad things.

People feel murderous sometimes, George, wouldn't that be a good feeling to try to suppress and get rid of?

Just because fighting against something would be in vain doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

And really, this was written from a more abstract sense. I know the abolishment is impossible. I am not like some Leftist here hoping for the impossible.

lol so you want us to fight against vanity to abolish it in vain lol

can somebody make the signature picture in kk's avatar a emoticon

i thought you were exactly like somebody wishing for the impossible but i guess you were just sharing with us that if we could only remove bad things from society, and of course from ourselves!, then there would be less "bad".

No single group of human beings can claim a monopoly on wishing for the impossible.

That's why it's called "wishing".

That's right, bottle up all your anger and push it down rather than confronting it. That's a great idea.

Hey, while we're at it, let's get rid of greed, hate, anger, jealousness and all other "bad" emotions, till we're all boring, passive pricks. And then come the aliens and enslave us all...nah, I'm just kidding, but I still think it's both stupid and impossible
Even if one group of people would manage it, they would immediately be exploited by another group which hasn't been "enlightened", and then they'd just be screwed. In other words: Forget it.
