I very much dislike how rude you're being, so if you could politely stop, it'd be much appreciated. I do hold my own personal beliefs that I believe would yield the most happiness. Not just for myself, but for everyone. I would disagree that it's a selfish thing to think. I'm not saying that my way of thinking is right and everyone else is wrong. What I'm getting at is that I believe living with a focus on the necessities would promote a happier life than how we live now. This same thought process could come from imagining a sudden collapse of the society without any sort of catastrophic event. Am I forcing my views upon anyone? No. Am I simply sharing my opinion of the situation? Yes. So, but only stating my thoughts, I'm trying to get others to think about the situation. Your reaction is to become extremely offended, which is fine. You and I don't hold similar views. But at least it has you thinking.
Continuing to challenge the validity of your post is rude? Then why would you post it for discussion? I dont have any intention of being rude. Maybe your picture of the situation is just so idealistic that its hard for me to imagine so I can't see what your describing, and that's fine.
It's not the challenging that's rude, it's the tone. I have been known to think very idealistically, irrationally so at times.
