I am not sure what the second and third part of this quotation means but I assume it has something to do with Wal-Mart hating women, which of course is a very thought out point.

Women are equal to men in everything but strength (generally). Your mom should probably quit if she doesn't like it there.

Wow. Surprised I didn't catch this.
Oh well.

It's actually a repetition of the argument that a square, by definition, is a type of rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

And how does this benefit either of our arguements?

quote:

But you had meant that our society is built on life, but it's not.

But it is, and you have yet to disprove me.
You see, Death is the ending of life, and therefore is an integral, and defining part of life. Therefore, the actions surrounding such revolve around the concept of life.

quote:

Yet still there is more to society than simply life and/or simply people. Surely let's not confuse culture and society, but a society needs more than just human bodies.

Actually, no it doesn't.
You see, there isn't more to life and people, because that is all there is. Alot of the reflections of what is supposedly beyond human (Culture, Art, Warfare, History, the Liberal Arts, etc), are all part of the human condition, and human study, and all directly relate to life, or the ending of it.

LMFAO.. obviously...

yeah, we know jme, we know. Calm down.

BEING A PARNET IS A JOB PERIOD.

KIDS NOWADAYS R VERY HARD TO MANAGE.

it equals the same

b ut you ignored the fact that being a dad is a job. That'd what we were pointing out.

And being a full-time dad on the other hand is...?

it equals the same

And being a full-time dad on the other hand is...?

Haha. Its amazing how narrow a mind can be.

quote:

And being a full-time dad on the other hand is...?

i had the exact same thought.

DID U KNOW THAT BEGIN A FULL TIME MOM = TO 2 FULL TIME JOBS.

And being a full-time dad on the other hand is...?

This is a contradiction, no? For something to be living, it must posses life. It must be life. It must be living, which is the state of having life, otherwise it is not living.

It's actually a repetition of the argument that a square, by definition, is a type of rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

quote:

Society can be built on war, which is focused only on death. Society can be built by birthes, which is life.

But you had meant that our society is built on life, but it's not.

quote:

Without life, there is no society. Not the other way around.

Yet still there is more to society than simply life and/or simply people. Surely let's not confuse culture and society, but a society needs more than just human bodies.

Men and women are equal. Women work hard. And women that are full time mothers work very hard. DID U KNOW THAT BEGIN A FULL TIME MOM = TO 2 FULL TIME JOBS.

People are manifestations of life and death.

"People are living, but they are not life."
This is a contradiction, no? For something to be living, it must posses life. It must be life. It must be living, which is the state of having life, otherwise it is not living.

Society is built on life or death.
Society can be built on war, which is focused only on death. Society can be built by birthes, which is life.

It does hold it as the highest regard as well. Don't believe me? Everything revolves around life and death. Every industry effects life, and every indstury is there because of life, or the ending of life.

There are societies that hold it as an absolute.
You will live, otherwise you wouldn't be debating this, and you are going to die, be it through the universe collapsing, or through your natural death, disease, or war. These are finite pieces of society, that do not change.

They effect how society is organized, and directly constitute society.

Without life, there is no society. Not the other way around.

Society is indeed structured by people. People are indeed living. However, people are not life. Nor are people death. Society cannot be "built" by life or death, merely (if anything) surrounded by it. And society does not hold life or death in the highest regard. Moreover, each society (ah, yes, there are MANY societies) has different structure and values. There is not one contemporary society that holds either life or death as an absolute. There are PARTS of these societies that do, but not the society as an organization.

Imagine life and death as two big umbrellas with everything else under them.

Does that help?

Which all come down to how the effected the sand, to make the sand castle!

quote:

So, I can have a sandcastle, and it can be because of sand, but it can't be built on Sand...

You're only looking at the outer surface. You don't see or understand that other things were required for the sandcastle to be standing, just as important (if not more important) than the sand.

quote:

There is society because of life

DING DING DING!

quote:

but that doesn't mean it is what society is built on.

So, I can have a sandcastle, and it can be because of sand, but it can't be built on Sand...

quote:

Atleast, it is not built on staying alive

Yeah, the food industry, the medical industry, the war industry, the aesthetics indstury, all of those built on life, aren't built on staying alive. Yeah, I guess we're going to be living in a foodless, boring world, where we simply sit on our cans, and get diseases all the time. Yep. That's really society.

quote:

but more built on bettering people's lives.

And tell him what he's won...

You just proved my point.
It is based on life.
LIFE.
L-I-F-E.
Lima Inda Foxtrot Echo.
The Game of "Life".
Ding ding ding ding.

However, nothing is that black and white.

Yeah, except binary.
Which, is a crappy math system.
I mean UNIX, Windows, all that, it's teh sucks.
They'll never grow.
This HTML crap? Nah.
It'll never work.

quote:

Something as complicated as society isn't built on only 2 things.

Yeah, I mean, we couldn't use an example like binary, where everything is a shade of 1 or 0.

Oh wait... Yes we can.

Bettering peoples' lives. Couldn't have said it better myself.

My question still remains. What else is there to build society on?

There is society because of life, but that doesn't mean it is what society is built on. Atleast, it is not built on staying alive, but more built on bettering people's lives. However, nothing is that black and white. Something as complicated as society isn't built on only 2 things.
