You think humans are the top of the "food chain"?

Yes I do, and the fact that you seem to dispute that merely reaffirms your stupidity.

HTH BIDI

[WTFH]

Yeah the point i was trying to make is that really what these people are doing is throwing a party to celebrate the fact that they can now have sex whenever they want without having to worry about kids....

and maybe name some materialistic thing while they do it....


seriously - how much of a tw@ do you have to be to do that?

It is not the fact they don't want kids it is the fact they are making a song and dance about it.

With you on that, although we are talking about a Daily Fail headline, so major pinch of salt to be taken with it.
Also, aren't swingers parties basically that - let's have sex cause we're not having any more kids? (perhaps some on here will correct me if my concept of swinging isn't the truth)


...although many people in the UK also have house warming parties, which are basically about showing off something materialistic to others and saying "look at us".

If only there was a thread going for thousands of posts about how some Brits think being extremely selfish is the best and only possible way to exist...

There is. Shame it is forever being hijacked by namby-pamby sheep that fear having to stand on their own two feet.

HTH

I notice you lost the argument on "natural", so you had to change your wording.


So, my stupidity (and experience in the wide world) would suggest that humans aren't top of the food chain.
Let's see if I can find out who or what is...


Let me google that for you

When, in any context, is being selfish good?

Ah, so you are bleating that being selfish is bad and good. Make your mind up!

Well erm having never been to a swinger party - I could not possible comment but most of the women look like they had had a kid or two......

as for the house warming party I always though the idea was you did it before you redecorated the house etc so you could have a great party without worrying about someone smiling red wine on your new cream rug...

No, you somehow "imagined" I lost your version of the argument. You went off, as you so frequently do, on an irrelevant tangent which I can't be arsed to drag you back from as you would simply repeat the mistake being a tedious little fookwit.

One might have concluded that, with all your "experience in the wide world" you would have little need for Google in reaching any finding. Sadly it seems to be your first port of call for anything and everything. Maybe ask a grown-up?

My "irrelevant tangent" was to point out that your idea of "unnatural" was diametrically opposed to scientific reasoning.

I didn't need Google, but since you won't accept facts when presented clearly, I felt citing some sources might provide further evidence. Unfortunately you've fallen back to your MO of childish name-calling and pathetic trolling.

Looks like shauny and WTF have finally met their match.

When, in any context, is being selfish good?

A few possibilities:

When choosing not to have children
When a carer decides to have a weekend off to have some mental down time
Putting in extra hours at work to improve your promotion chances
Setting up a new company
Bargaining for a discount
Buying that new toy

I am not say that a truly selfish ideal is good, far from it, but with everything in life there is a balance, sometimes you need to do something for yourself for pure personal profit, but the unintended consequences of your selfish action can have benefits for others, for example the benefits for the above could be:

There are enough unloved children / population
Looking after yourself lets you help those around you better
Higher productivity at work
Employment of others
If you negotiate a discount it makes it easier for others to do the same
Adding to the economy
