...what's your definition of civilization?

My definition of civilization is bureaucracy, not simply some rich fat person telling everyone else what to do, I mean that's basic mammalian tribal behavior, but for civilization to occur you need the rich fat bastard to hire slightly less rich and and slightly less fat bastards to oppress the people who do the actual work.

Look at the ancient Mesopotamian/Fertile Crescent dwellings. You get three tiers of housing. Rich fat bastards who tell everyone what to do, lackeys with money and spears who enforce it, and finally the people who do the actual work. THAT's civilization.

I can't help but notice that there's a distinct lack of child sex. Some civilization.

Well, if the Catholic Church is anything to go by, children who die as a result of sexual or emotional or physical abuse are not buried in regular graveyards. They're considered "evil" or whatever the gently caress sort of bullshit the various clergy comes up with at the time (not limited to Catholicism), and are given shallow graves at the edge of civilization that are never tended to. If wolves don't dig them up and eat the remains, the regular progress of civilization and expanding towns will soon obliterate the pitiful unmarked grave.

I can't help but think that the fossilized remains of a young person who obviously experienced sexual abuse would be an anomaly. A very sad anomaly. Abusers tend to hide their tracks.

i don't think you understand bullying. it can be very physical. choking kids til they pass out, smashing their heads into things to try to knock them out, etc. this would literally lead to kids killing bullies in some circumstances. maybe not a bad thing but we would need to give them leeway in the court system because of all those "murder" laws.

Then I remembered my 5th grade teacher recommended that to me. Why would a teacher recommend a book with kids jacking off onto mailboxes, to a child?

It is an award winning book.

Why does everyone forget that the boss dudes and spear dudes actually did do something before being massively overcompensated for it?

Farming is hard. Killing dudes is really hard. Running a country is really hard.

Consequences for loving up are as follows - starve/bleed to death/retire in luxury in russiaget murdered by the new boss

This looks a lot like suffering.
When I was 6 months old I lied about my age so I could join the army. I spent the next 3 years giving Krauts lead poisoning until a mortar shell blew away the lower half of my body. This was all before I even became a badass. Kids these days have it too easy sheesh...

Today, the odds of being murdered by the new boss are infinitely minimal whereas the rewards for halfassing your job/loving it up completely are infinite!

The only thing worse than this book was the movie. The main antagonist, some big tough jock guy, had a room that was completely pink and fuzzy for reasons unexplained.

With the gap between rich & poor increasing by the day, you don't know what capabilities people have. While working as a temp in 2012 or so, a simple schoolyard scrap turned into a murder when the thug turned to his crew in order to settle things. School hours are no longer a limiting factor in bullying an individual.

i too, in a scrap yard many years ago, you just dont knoiw what people can get up to when the kids are hard these days. its a front, truely our baser instincts down a moral eroding, temperance gone, a permissiveness pervasive in culture. money, the kids will do whatever they can do have it and meet up. its the unstoppable force that meets the moveable hipster. bezmenov knew.

Send your kids into the desert without food or water. When they return they will be men. Even the girls.

I remember when I was young I told my Dad to "gently caress off." Living in the Mojave desert at the time, he thought five miles would be cruel. So he only drove me two miles out. Pointed the direction in which we lived, handed me a warm (hot, really) bottle of water, and told me I had some thinking to do. I, for one, am thankful for this mildly abusive child-rearing technique. You can be I drat sure didn't mouth off ever again.
