EVOLUTION IS A PROCESS, NOT A PHILOSOPHY OR MINDSET

Yes, MASIAH (an idiot), used the phrase "survival of the fittest" which is commonly used to describe what evolution is. But his story, situation, and argument have NOTHING TO DO WITH EVOLUTION. Nor did he say it did. He was just espousing his Objectivist thoughts on the matter. Turtlekid1 and WeeGee (idiots) then pounced on that phrase in hopes of making a philosophically-neutral scientific theory look bad because it disagrees with a book some dudes wrote two thousand years ago. Then I (an idiot) saw it and wasted time and energy competing in the Special Olympics with them.

Weegee, my stance on the origin of morals can be explained by this video by Thunderf00t:

Evolution is not a philosophy or mindset. It is, however, a scientific process that explains why we (and other animals) act moral towards each other.

Whoa, whoa.  What have I done?  I didn't really want a discussion, hence the font choice.  It was meant to be an offhand remark, not a spark to start a wildfire.

Still, I guess it was my own fault.  Sorry 'bout that.

So if we type stuff with strikeout, no one is allowed to respond to it?

Yeah, that's like crossing out "I hate Jews!" and then not expecting anyone to rebuke it.

I have this terrible habit of picking my fingers until they bleed. I am unsure as to why I do this, but I do it more often when I am nervous or under stress/pressure (lately I've been doing it when worrying about the kids..)

I kind of do that, too, and vehemently under the same circumstances (though primarily through biting).

I wish I looked more vampiric.

As for the statement I made....  Poor choice of words?  Yes.  Socially degenerative?  More like it.  I just said it out of a whirlwind of emotions that I've been feeling lately.  Maybe thats why I thought about it and took the skateboard back, because deep down I knew.  It's all a result of a constant frustration I've been facing lately that partly due to not living the lifestyle I want.  The funny thing is when I said I was good at stealing,  I've never stole from an individual before (like Kyle).  Not that its any better but its always been from large department stores.

There is some truth to this struggle I've recently been going through though.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one thats been going through it.  Coming from a person who has given away more than he is ever going to get back, you can see why one would just say "Screw It." and just start to take.  I've only recently come under the impression that nobody cares about what is going to happen to me and that everyone is out for themselves.  Of coarse, the is not true, not "Everyone" is out for themselves, but it sure as heck seems like it.  If you think there is no class struggle in this day in age, you are sadly mistaken.  People like you and me consider themselves middle-class (beleive me, I used to think this too).  But they're not, there is no middle class, just two extremes.  Lower class, and upper class.  The middle class has been erased.  I'm not making this up, I used to talk about this with my economics professor in college (when I was going).  And he said more than likely, pretty soon we're going to see a massive power struggle between two classes much like in the French Revolution.  I'm just tired of being [dukared] on.

...proof? This isn't the first time America's gone through a recession. Seriously.

I've heard other people postulate this theory as well. It isn't in reference to the recession though.
That was a joke.

Look, it's a thread of full of idiots mistaking Charles Darwin for Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand is super anti-looting/thievery so I can only assume you have no clue what you're talking about or I'm misunderstanding you hard. Rand's morality defines people who leech off of others' achievements as extremely immoral (such as a person stealing something someone else purchased with money they earned). I'd also like to declare that anyone that draws any kind of meaningful parallels between her literary works and BioShock is talking out of their butts.
