I guess that if I wanted to take a cheap shot I would call you a 'born again cynic' or that we don't have to emulate them. In one of my more serious philosophical turns I might argue that although the public's "humanity" doesn't seem to be there, the 'image' is not lost, as scarred and as marred as it may be. (I guess a theologian might call it the imageo deo but that would open up yet another can of worms )

It's my insistence on the dignity of man that would drive me to all i can.

You can use cynic if you wish, if that's the best you can come up with
I would use REALIST.
I said nothing on emulating anyone, just pointing out FACTs. I do not hold any romantic notions of "We're all in this together" or "the dignity of man" - in all honesty I've never heard anything so stupid as the last one, but I'm sure you can still surprise me.

I think a theologian would actually call it imageo dei but that's beside the point. I don't believe in god, I do not believe men were made in gods image, I do not believe all men were created equal.

I'm sure if you want to take a cheap shot you can use the above somewhere

This is called SURVIVAL UK isn't it? Are we not all prepping to survive??

If it is ONLY about survival then kill every f.....r on sight. But in my mind Survival UK is not just about Personal survival. It's broader than that

NO, because attempting to "kill every fucker on sight" is INTERFERING in OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS. And that's the kind of thing that brings unwanted attention.

From your responses to this thread it would appear that you would expect help from a stranger should you require it?

Then shame on you. This view makes people no better than the Montana wild men.

Shame on me? For having a different opinion? Well how dare I?! You're right, it's incredible that I should dare to AGREE WITH SOMETHING YOU POSTED ORIGINALLY.

I feel no shame for looking out for me and mine, I owe society NOTHING, and I want the same back. You can live in your rose tinted world if you wish, but some of us see through the bullshit

Montana Wild Men? Can't say I've ever heard of 'em, but the name implies that they're going to be a good laugh. Bit like the Manson Family?
