Thats what I meant with globaly/worldwide thats correct.

Technology has made a ton of things way easier. Almost nothing is black and white

I've met biracial (black with white) people with white skin. They usually have other features that don't look ethnically European, but the skin tone can be really any shade

I think because people can’t be born older than you after your birth date it’s actually true. No matter where you live, or people migrating to your country.. those people will have always existed and are older.

When we get enough Facebook likes

Show me your proof.

Go live in the bushes then. Stop leeching off our human amenities if you want to live like an animal.

No that's the animal kingdom. It's called humanity. You should try it.

We're not animals jerk off. We're human beings. We evolved past the need to prey on the weak. Maybe you missed the boat on that one

Globally thats hard to argue with. Thats impossible to measure accurately tough. Locally that might not be the case. In my country the number of people older then me is still rising slowly. Refugees so yeah

Demand for coal skyrocketed when the steam engine was developed to the point that it could be used commercially.

How much coal did society need before it was used to drive factories and locomotives? Certainly not enough to motivate people to send children into mines seven days a week.

It's more likely that the people who mistreat them lack power in other aspects of their lives and so abuse it when placed in a higher social standing.

Tendencies of narcissism, sadism, and sociopathy can be attributed to these behaviors.

Dude right? The company I work for is going more and more paperless and unfortunately cashless too.

It's a dealership of sorts and before when everything was paper we could get a customer in, sell them something, and be outta here in 15 minutes.

Now that everything is computer based it takes an hour and a half to fully process a customer.

It's fucking stupid and when one thing doesn't work you have to start it all over again.

Paper and pen works great with no load screens or error message.

Idk how so many people here are supporting themselves but I would hazard to say that being unemployed is much more depressing than having no breaks from work. I would much rather be working than not.

Haha, that's a funny way of looking at it! But it's true; water is essential for our survival and we can't live without it. So drink up - just don't think about it too much!
