    That’s because out of everything, we’re kind of creatures of conformation. Every nail that sticks out gets hammered down. It’s a part of our biology at this point, given how tribal in nature we have become. Success came from everyone working together, and when something goes against the status-quo, it’s normal for people to shun it. You’ll find this in literally every possible ‘division’ you can create for society. Dyed your hair blue? Some people’s instinct will naturally kick in and shun you for it. You don’t even have to be gay or anything - just out of the ordinary.

      Working together doesn’t require conformity. Perhaps there is something to your point, but you’re not arguing it convincingly.

        That’s good, because I’m not trying to convince anybody of anything, just spouting facts.

      We’re human because we can change our nature. Don’t excuse it because some people are too weak to do so.

        I excuse many things that people do; because I realize that no person can ever be absolutely perfect – to expect perfection of them is to preordain disappointment in them.

            You need better reading comprehension and better judgement overall.

            Not expecting perfection does not equal expectation of failure.

        Of course we can do better – I’m telling you, it will never go away. It will forever be something we have to educate people on, and keep at the forefront of their minds, because we are literally of two minds. We have a prehistoric brain that can control low level impulses, and people have to be taught to override those impulses.

      However the status quo has been altered to a worse situation than years ago.

      Either you’re wrong or I have more evidence that I’m not human.
