What is your biggest critique of our society?
1. How entitled society has become.
2. How fricking sensitive society is to things that they don't agree with and how they think they should scream in order to get it changed, regardless of how it inconveniences the remaining 90% of society that realizes the issue at hand really isn't an issue in the first place.
3. How the media stirs the pot on these issues, and gets the crazies into a feeding frenzy and publicizes these non-issues. The media involvement almost forces the other side to bow down to the crazies and remove the (non) issue at hand in order to quiet the crazies and entitled mother frickers.
TL;DR version: frick the entitled & overly sensitive mother frickers and frick the media for publicizing and contributing to fricking up our society.

1. The credit infrastracture
Credit is a great equalizer when used properly but the infrastructure encourages irresponsible use. This has been shown to wreak havoc on economic systems, and while that may seem abstract, it very much affects people's everyday lives and basic needs (food, shelter, etc).
2. The increasingly draconian nature of the nation-state
Private prisons. Secret prisons. Torture. Spying. Data mining. Covert assassinations. Need I go on?
3. The lack of privacy in global information systems.
You no longer have the right to be forgotten. Half of your private life is now carried out in a semi-public space, and you do not own the digital traces you leave behind. These are bought and sold without your knowledge, so that corporations can sell you crap you don't need (see point #1) and governments can monitor your behavior (see point #2).

Good stuff. Agree on the credit/money thing. We have an economic system essentially based on infinite growth and that has to collapse or at least contract at some point. Infinite growth v. finite planet. Which do you think will win?
I used to be kind of a liberal pussy, but SJW nonsense has sent me scurrying in the other direction (Cecil sig pic is a joke).

Puritan stance on sex
Dude, what?
Where do you live, and what year do you think it is?
What are you more likely to let your kids watch: a movie containing nudity and sex, or a movie containing violence?
Case closed.

there is too much group-think.
Absolutely. The quest to be normal, feel normal and think like everyone else.

I'm impressed. Despite the usual massive difference in opinions, the vast majority agree. So, if we of the ot can figure it out, wth can't the rest of the country. Shows that we are of above average intellegence - much like our credit ratings!

Why not both?
