Default Civilised minds! - 05-27-2008, 12:25 AM

What's a civilised mind?

A mind able to dress half naked in silk but not in a sheep's skin?

A mind that is free to lay animals today but not 1000 years ago?

A mind that is free to eat processed junky foods but not traditional regalia?

A mind that is able to?

What is a civilised mind please?
 


You have the freedom to be right and the freedom to be wrong, but you don't have the right to be wrong!

Why do you pick on exceptions or extreme cases to justify your point? We all know that stone-age man couldn't nuke another country and kill a million people in seconds, does that make him more civilized?

We all know what a civilized mind is. What point are you trying to make with your question? What are you trying to prove or disprove? What part of the Bible or Christianity are you trying to front?

For clarity sake. I want to get to the botton line contradiction of civilization so far seen in the society.

We all know that stone-age man couldn't nuke another country and kill a million people in seconds, does that make him more civilized?

If a stone age man fought for prostitutes' rights, would he be considered civilised?

We all know what a civilized mind is.

I think we know it subjectively or rather relative to time. Two hundreds to come someone who will read our discussions would subject us to uncivilized society.


What point are you trying to make with your question? What are you trying to prove or disprove? What part of the Bible or Christianity are you trying to front?

If a woman dresses today in miniskirt that can be termed "see me through", would we say that she is civilized compared to one who dressed almost the same but in sheep's skin?

first there was no-show-knees, then there was the one piece bathing suit, and
now there's the bikini.
civility is in how you deal with it...and it kinda requires evolving with the times.
