While your points are in fact true, they are also wrong. The world and a society are made up of people. Society and genetics maybe blamed but it is our choices that determines our lives. It does not excuse us, it does not take away our responsibility

The human mind and conscious is a completely external construct. Everything that makes you, you, is acquired though your environment. Your genetics are determined through millions of years of environmental moulding and your personalty is determined and conditioned by the culture and society you are born into. Free will is an illusion. We are merely a complex organic machines.
The purpose of this thread is to engage in a meaningful discussion. It is not called the lets quote other people thread. If you are going to quote someone, at least do it in away that supports a point you have to make.
i'm well aware of the purpose of this thread. and the quote...is apt. there is no end to human stupidity. call it genetics, call it circumstance, call it whatever u want. its our conscious choices, its our collective greed that is responsible for the mess we're in. we are responsible.
the billions of barrels of oil we're suckin' up, all the coal and iron ore etc. we're digging up, all of it is being done because of our conscious choices and decisions. yes, we are responsible.
that better?
