WHy i think we need to forget about tradition

I have nothing but utter contempt for tradition. I fucking hate tradition, if we follow tradition all we do is support systems and rituals started by old white educated men. We have reached a point in society where gender, race, culture and ethnicity have crossed all bounderies.....that is why we must forget tradition and embrace our liberal democracy. If we continue to follow tradition all we are doing is upholding values and ideas that no longer belong in todays world.

This should blow your mind:

Our liberal democracy is based on a tradition.

Yeah... you know that being thankful, good will towards men, respecting the past shit will never fly...

sounds like someone doesn't want to visit their grandma on Sundays anymore.

our liberal democracy is not built on tradition!!! everything we have gained as a society has come about through government legislation, womesn rights, minority rights, these thigns all came about through intervention. The bible is tradition, and the bible has done nothing but slowed down the evolution of rights.

I've got you pegged as a very angry person...

yeah, it's better to follow the systems of the uneducated ones.

Great, you made me laugh so hard I spit my Coke.

Thanks a lot!

*burns bible*

we're free! we're free!

Fuckin' A! That's the only tradition i care about. Well that, and the weekly chandelier drinking game fests We had in days gone by.

Depends on what you consider "tradition" to mean.

History is all about change and continuity, neither is more important or inherently better than the other.

It bothers me when peoples' dissatisfaction with the status quo blinds them to progress we have made, "two steps forward, one step back" or not. It's completely unproductive.

wasn't democracy created by a bunch of fat greeks who slept with each other in bath houses?

Liberal democracy was created. in no small part, by John Locke--and old educated white man.

And it is based on tradition. Britain, the cradle of liberalism, has no written constitution; it;s based entirely on convention, that is, tradition.

so were the olympics... wonder what they're trying to say?

NO no no no, liberal democracy was not created by locke, rights based democracy based on property rights was built by john locke, and during Lockes time nohting he wrote was traditional

I believe every person has the same equal moral worth, and until we can forget tradition this will never be true,

grease yourself up with other men and vote?

I'm going to file this under the "Useless angry noob flametastic idiot post tradition". Then I'm going to do my damnedest to forget about this tripe.

aaaarrrgggghhhhh!

Um, yeah, that's liberalism.

hahhaha! awesome.

Why is it I always love to read Freaks posts? Yeah.
