I hear the same line of argumentation used over and over again on every possible issue of conflict. "It's unnatural." This comes up all the time, and honestly it's an extremely empty and flawed argument to make.
Let's just analyze the merits of the argument. Take a common issue this argument is thrown around a lot in. Homosexuality. Often you'll here "it's unnatural therefore it's bad."
Okay, so does unnatural = bad?
No!!!! Plenty of shit is useful and even life enhancing that doesn't come from "nature."

[b][u]All the shit that is not good in nature[/u][/b]
>-blam!-ing earthquakes
>murder
>giant ass rocks in space that could kill us all
>black holes
>illnesses
>and so on
The -blam!-ing point is that something being "natural" doesn't mean that makes whatever the -blam!- it is good or bad. Plenty of man made shit is useful and good. Plenty of it isn't. The usefulness or the "goodness" of something has nothing to to with it being man made or not.

Philosophical post is still a shit post.

Good and bad aren't objective. There is no good or bad in nature, there is only good and bad in our own lives.
-
All of the things unnatural on that list can be considered bad...

-
One could argue that some things listed as "good", could be bad. And vice versa.

This argument is much better. Last time it seemed like you were angry at semantics, but here I agree with you.

Do you honestly have nothing better to do but make hundreds of accounts so that everybody can see what you spew? Is your life so empty and meaningless that you must annoy everybody so that you can get any attention even if it's from 12 year olds? You obviously must be trying to make up for the attention you clearly don't get from the real world. Someday you'll realize what a piece of garbage you are and just end yourself and let me tell you nobody will miss you.

When people use the natural argument, im sure they mean in society but good point.

nature cares not for morals and ethics. nature simply is and shall continue to be until it loses the eternal struggle and is ripped apart root by stubborn root, cell by stubborn cell, molecule by stubborn molecule.

A giant space rock killing us all wouldn't be so bad.
