The ANSWER to all our problems

We do away with sex.

No more he or she or man or woman. Those are sexist terms and are used to divide us into him and her. We do away with sex and then utopia will be established right here on earth.

I got this idea from many DUer's posts these last few days. Take a bow people.

This time, though, I won't post another thread on the generalization.

However, without sex, none of us would be here. Nothing wrong with sex. We're mammals. All mammals have two sexes. It's a reproductive thing. Sex is just a reproductive issue, really. We are either men or women, for the most part, although there are exceptions to that.

Outside of reproduction, however, we are all far more similar than different.

I think you have the wrong idea from "many DUer's {sic} posts."

No, It is obvious that all our problems stem from discriminating between he and she. And then we have the whole host of problems flowing from sex: pregnancy, prostitution, men's rights groups, misandry, misogyny, etc. etc.

If we can do away with sex, homo sapiens will have no problems at all in about a 100 years. YMMV.

While sexual abstinence may be the answer to your problems, no real problems of mine are associated with it.

On the other hand, I'm not stumbling blindly to make an off-the-mark, petulant point (a problem that would exists with or without sex, I would guess...)

I am just making a joke out of what has been dumped on DU these last few days. Merely a summation of it wrapped around the Truth. Like a hot dog with relish.

" Like a hot dog with relish..."

Or more accurately, merely an off-the-mark point of petulance wrapped around resentment. But yours was close enough for army work...

But after two more reactors blow, that should close the book.

Meanwhile I'd be damned to ignore the suffering of all those afflicted by Fukushima. You can make jokes about it and whitewash it, that is your right. But don't expect me to use it to make fun of anyone.

Seabirds off the west coast are failing to reproduce, with many observers finding scores of dead birds like they never saw before.

Enenews.com has links to the west coast news sources covering the situation.

I tell you that on the right-hand side of the Indies there was an island called California, which was very close to the region of the Earthly Paradise. This island was inhabited by black women, and there were no males among them at all, for their life style was similar to that of the Amazons. The island was made up of the wildest cliffs and the sharpest precipices found anywhere in the world. These women had energetic bodies and courageous, ardent hearts, and they were very strong. Their armor was made entirely out of gold—which was the only metal found on the island—as were the trappings on the fierce beasts that they rode once they were tamed. They lived in very well-designed caves. They had many ships they used to sail forth on their raiding expeditions and in which they carried away the men they seized and whom they killed in a way about which you will soon hear. On occasion, they kept the peace with their male opponents, and the females and the males mixed with each other with complete safety, and they had carnal relations, from which unions it follows that many of the women became pregnant. If they bore a female, they kept her, but if they bore a male, he was immediately killed. The reason for this, inasmuch as it is known, is that, according to their thinking, they were set on reducing the number of males to so small a group that the Amazons could easily rule over them and all their lands; therefore, they kept only those few men whom they realized they needed for their race not to die out.


Little know fact outside the sailors realm: Calafia commanded a man-killing force of 500 trained griffins.

And I've very successfully reproduced without any official "Man Card."

Competition and "survival of the fittest" are the fool's game.

The big penis warriors occasionally "win" in the short term, but those societies are always temporary aberrations.

The "dangerous males" always crash and burn, there's often some Tangut princess or Sweet Mother Mary around to destroy them.

And i like the differences between the sexes.

Luckily, for some of us, sex is not a problem.
