it's actually scientifically shown that it is indeed related to aggression/violence, not to sound too crude but successful female approach is a 'conquest', and as hume said these instincts are a composite of lesser feelings check out this vid:

I haven't watched any of the episodes of the new season, gots to catch up.
Just started up again yesterday.

I kinda have to nod a little on this one. I love philosophy. It was a minor of mine in college. But when they don't do a very good job at explaining their core premises -- and yet stamp their shorthand names everywhere -- I call "amateur"! :p

Speaking of amateurs... I'm thinking of a new start-up business that supplies Justin Bieber with sizzurp in Miami-Dade prison. :greed:

Anyone has some spare time on their hands and want to write me a speech for English class? I don't really have any money, so I'll pay the kind stranger by blowing him. Don't judge me, I'm in desperate situation. :shifty:

What's it have to be about? I probably don't have the time, but I'm just curious.

Strange how time changes everything. Like 30 years ago when they did a study the results showed how 3% of population think it's needed to have second TV, while today that number is around 75%.

People get richer and it just triggers the need of people to have something more, like they see it's missing. Funny enough, most of those things are not needed at all. Kinda strange to see materialism being on the top of the ladders nowadays while at the same time happiness is at the lower rate.

Yeah, I remember doing one of those surveys years ago.

Turned out my idea of what you need (i.e. the basic essentials to live, plus a little bit) is very different to what the general population thought was needed.
