I am not kidding . Everyday you allow any type of machinery to continue existing , you are just putting pressure on your ability to earn a livable wage . First it was the cotton gin in 1794 that replaced most all the plantation workers , yes they grumbled about working conditions but life was pretty good for most 'slaves' . Oh you say , what about the railroads opening up vast swathes of the country ? ...well all that accomplished was allowing corporation to buy up all the arable land for themselves to exploit . What about sewing machines and washing machines ? , well all that accomplished was allowing women to have copious free time to go out on the town and get into trouble and destroy families .
Look i could go on and on , but lets just say to me the perfect life was 'little house on the prairie' set in the 1800's , i loved that woman she was an angel . Nellie was the ugly feminist that served as a warning .

So true... so true.
I like to sew but I've never used a sewing machine.
People have tried to talk me into it...
I just smile and nod.

Totally agreed...
Life as Mary would have been kinda awesome...
She was blind and whatever, but at least her husband was super hot.
Remember that one episode when he got his vision back and saw Mary for the first time and was like OMG my wife is hot as fuck, cha-ching!!!

But the machines have gone way too far. Humanity is losing itself with every bit of mechanical 'progress'.
Computers are a great thing. I just wish we could fuse this with a more natural way of living...
It's all gotten too complex. Everything automated needs to be caput.
We should have computers for the purpose of global communication, but it should be like a Windows 98 type of thing and shouldn't progress any further.
Trix i would really like it if you did a 'little house' video where you are using a washboard , shouting out for charles , running in a meadow and last but not least breast feeding .

Without machines, none of us would be on this forum talking right now.
If you want to destroy all of your machines, go ahead. I'm keeping mine.

hahaha, Trix!
I've actually built brand-new Windows 98 computers recently. You would not believe how insanely fast Windows 98 is on new hardware. Blazing fast.

I believe it.
Those were much simpler times and the system worked just fine.
Not sure why we should be going along with all these "advancements".
Honestly getting tired of it, getting to the point where I think it's a steaming load of BS that I don't care about.

I went ROFL all over that post, Ben.
But the way I see it is... humans are living such a far cry away from the lifestyle they were originally meant to. Back in the caveman days, we all lived in big groups. Those who were past the age of reproduction stayed with all the children and the elderly, and cared for them. The older/elderly mentored the young. It was all an effective and efficient natural process. In those days, all the able bodied who were past reproductive years were the ones who washed for the elderly and whatnot.
Everybody else was out gangbanging caveman style. Rough and dirty. Those were the days for mankind. Pregnant cave chicks would hobble back to the cave people camp and they would spit out their babies, feed 'em on the tit for a few years or whatevs, then they'd hand them over to the elders to take care of while they went out and got knocked up again.
Those were the glory days for mankind. They've never been more innocent or done anything better.
