<p>Oh- again, I have nothing but love. Surely you noticed that what was once the hottest thread on the U of C forum suddenly went cold.</p>
<p>YOU AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A WANKSTA!!</p>
<p>Okay, I'm done. </p>
<p>Idiots will always have sex. End of story. No amount of education will help that.</p>
<p>Yeah, sex is an entirely different issue than drugs/drinking/so on. You could take away money incentives for drugs, you could even try making it tougher for minors to attain alcohol, but sex is just an entirely different story.</p>
<p>So this thread is supposed to be dead, but...anyone ever read "Stranger in a Strange Land"? The Martians in the book were all one gender and self-reproduced. As a result, their culture was passive and there was more emphasis on developing the mind than the body. On Earth, there are two genders neccessary for survival of the human race. Thus, physical attraction and competition exists. Competition strives for the best and oftentimes brings out the worst: jealousy, etc.</p>
<p>Yeah, I might have just officially killed the thread.</p>
<p>Nope, you do know some animals are asexual. Life would still continue even if we killed all the females...or males...due to those cells still dividing, those worms still doing it with themselves and so on. Don't be trying to kill it now, we are picking up steam. I think if we were asexual and could reproduce by ourselves we would solve all the problems of gay marriage, abortion, and rape. Heh, just somehow genetically merge the sexes.</p>
<p>Key words "of the human race". My point is that the human race would not be competitively-natured if there weren't the need to attract a mate and reproduce for its survival in the long run.</p>
<p>Heh, but that's half the fun of life, trying to find a mate.</p>
<p>I suppose everything that humans need to survive--air, food, drink, sex, etc.--provide happiness (in most cases), too bad desperate people gotta suffer.</p>
<p>(If you knew me in person, you'd know I was thinking that sentence in a sarcastic tone.)</p>
<p>The human race would not be as it is now if we reproduced asexually because the whole point of sexual reproduction is for genetic variety. We'd either be clones of each other or have crazy disorders a la founder effect. </p>
<p>So, I suppose it's the lesser of two evils.</p>
