After participating in the NG politics forum? Increasing, markedly.


The one thing force produces is resistance.

Oh, I would say definitely increasing.

In a society that encourages a high self-esteem above all else, narcecism (self-centeredness) is certainly on the rise.

You get a bunch of spoiled brats who can't look at life realisticly and end up whining about what the point of it all is.

Increasing notoriously, partly because of a bunch of Gregory House wannabes.

Conformism is much worse than spoiled brats.

Communism is an economic ideology.

No, it also includes other things, like atheism.

social aspects and views would change but religion or the abolition of religion is not a necessary part of communism.

^^^KA-CHING!!^^^ ... you got me !

But there's a paradox in House's own methodology. His ability to diagnose many patients on the basis that whatever ails them physically must be symptomatic of what ails them in life generally.

As social negativity has a correlative health cost, we reveal as much examining someone's personity as we do their body. For him, the conclusion being, manifest illness is primarily a symptom of social ailments.

And who can really argue with that?
