it's the nature of mankind.

Greed...he with the most toys when he dies, wins

Good one LYsergic, Greenie.

I'm going to go one step further and simply blame our opressive society. I'm probably the only socialist Christian in existence...or at least that I know of anyway. My belief is this:

You do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone but yourself, and it's up to *you* to decide what is morally correct and what is not. I can't tell you that Drugs are bad, or that sleeping with a different woman each night is immoral. That isn't my place to judge.

We wouldn't have so many "Ills" if we were more "Open". Take a country like Canada. Good example of a free-thinking society. You can shoot figures at me all day that attempt to dissprove it and I can shoot more back that back it up, but you can't deny the allure of that place.

We get too "Uppity" about little things like half naked women in a computer game or a movie where a kid kills himself. Big deal. If you keep acting like something is wrong, guess what? More kids will do it.

Give people a choice how to live, and let them deal with the consequences. Oppress people and try to make choices for them and soon you'll have a place like Taliban-controlled Afghanistan where you couldn't show a single inch of skin without being stoned.

good posts so far...

i would definately partially agree with you...

self/other imposed guilt is a large part of the issue, in my opinion...
