You can be sure that gay couples won't be so selfish as to use impregnation as a way of enslavement or blithely leave behind single parents or children on the street. Not having children and devoting your life to science and art is selfish? Not having children is selfish? How about men who have to spread their seed into an over populated world who disproportionally will be the ones to leave their partner to raise a child alone? Who's selfish here? Statistically, it's the men who walk. It is an inherrently selfish pursuit that leaves the notion of service to your fellow man (make jokes about that if you like!) completely out of the picture. And by an amazing coincidence, there's a whole bunch of non-believers in the next country. So you spin them a line about how this all-powerful being has promised them the world - on condition they take on any "non-believers". Most of your people believe pretty firmly in them. The most powerful thing you have available is your own local myths and legends - which include legends about how the world was created by an all-powerful being. Two thousand years from now you'd spin your people some line about how this neighbouring country has big scary weapons, but that doesn't work so well here because nuclear weapons aren't going to be invented for some time. Well, like most leaders you're fundamentally a politician. How on Earth do persuade thousands of people to take up arms and invade your neighbour? Your neighbour is likely to object, however, so you'll have to take it by force. Easiest way to get this is to re-settle as many people as you can next to the neighbour's river. And you know exactly what you need to get it - water. What your people need to survive is some better farmland. There's little education - those who aren't from a wealthy background (which 99% of your countrymen aren't) don't necessarily understand exactly how bad things are or how best to improve them. There's no international aid - it's every man for himself. There is precious little that would be recognised as a legal system two thousand years hence. There may or may not be such a thing as conscription, but keeping morale up in your army is damn hard. As a consequence, many of your people are starving.
The last couple of years have been tough - there's virtually no water (though the people in the next country have a number of rivers.). There's no farm subsidies (though there are farmers, it's a hard life being a farmer in the middle of a fucking desert). You are (by accident of birth) quite high in your society's hierarchy - but a lot of things that we take for granted these days simply don't exist in the middle of this fucking desert. Let us say, for the sake of argument, that you live in the middle of the fucking desert a couple of thousand years ago.
#South park episode 201 torrent mod#
(And I understand why some of you with mod points might choose "Funny" for this post, which is totally fine, but I promise everyone that this is as unbiased an accounting of the facts as I find myself able to give.)īy the way, if you happen to be a techno-savvy hard-line Muslim reading this post, I have one question for you: shouldn't your first problem, before Matt & Trey, be with the second most populous denomination of Islam, the Shi'a, who apparently have no problem with depictions of Muhammad? Is it off-base for me to ask that you sort this out amongst yourselves before requiring the non-believers to follow your religious edicts under threat of death? They're so anxious over this possibility, these groups have threatened to suborn the murder of Matt Stone & Trey Parker by dispatching roving death squads.ĭon't click away to a calendar app-I assure you, it is 2010 and this is actually happening. Or, in other words, radical Muslims are fearful that a large faction of the faithful will splinter off and form a new denomination based on the worship of an episode of South Park. The worry is that any depiction could become the focus of worship, and the depiction itself could take the place of what it represents. For those of you that are unaware, the concern among Muslims about depicting Muhammad is based on a few hadith that warn against doing so to prevent idolatry.
