As the title says, we're all strange. None of us truly act normal and I don't understand why. Man considers himself such a big screaming deal individually, and yet we murder our own, we steal from each other and we all (in one way or another) try to exert control over another. I don't understand it, and maybe I don't want to but if any of you have an answer for why we all have to obtain complete control over another, then i'm all ears.

the answer is that there is no answer. just like in math some problems have no solutions. but if you really want to have an answer perhaps you should ask a question that actually has a solution.

Math, numbers and in some cases, words are all made up. I really doubt that people don't have a solution - we're not made up things. I'm certain that there's an answer for everything because even with your example of some problems having no solutions, there's still an answer to that and that's the fact that there isn't a solution to the problem. So in the end, I kinda sorta somewhat asked a question that has a possible answer. You just gotta look at it differently.

Normal is a perception.

I don't smoke anything. I just think in a strange way.

among a group of killers, killing would be consider normal.
among a group of non-killers, killing would be consider not normal.
so if you want to find out the answer to your question perhaps you need to figure out if you are normal according to your own rules. once you find out then you have your answer. it is just that simple. we cant give you an answer as we dont really know if you are normal or not according to our own rules. and by that I mean a normal person would not ask the question that you asked. to me an abnormal person who is trying to justify his own actions would ask the question that you did.

It's all about the sex-ing and the procreating. All widespread human behavior can be traced to optimizing those two activities. There will always be the occasional individual not interested in these, but they often remove themselves from the gene pool in spectacular ways.
Likewise, any society that denegrates these activities and emphasizes/encourages social patterns that do not enable or support these two activities is doomed to extinction.

Aggressive and dominating behavior is a survival trait in a group. The man who is the more brutal and aggressive dominates or kills off those who are not and take their women. The tribe which is most aggressive and brutal subjugates or kills off the tribes which are not and take their women. The first thing a male Lion will do after killing the old alpha pride leader is kill all the cubs and rape the females. It's good to be king...

Competition: it breeds excellence. Removing competition creates an excess of no longer excellent heritage. With an excess other problems arise ,for instance greed.

Greed is another survival trait. Those who horde the most food survive winter...

it's not strange thinking...you're just way over your head.

Well, first off.. we don't all have to obtain complete control over all others. Just a few ( relatively ) do.. but they get all the headlines.
Secondly, Nobody is the same. We all have unique DNA, and the construct of such leads to a wide variety of social behaviors. Be it greed, homosexuality, violence, illness, brilliance, or any practically infinite combinations.
The point is, the human being is a mind-wrenchingly complex and varied creature. To expect it to conform to a strict set of behavioral patterns is silly.
Does that help?

The smarter realize that the south is usually insanely hot in the summer and don't want that.

Well ask yourself this question - Would you rather burn to death, or freeze to death?

It's called sin.
Google it if you need more info.
You now have enough information and the means to understand.
Whether you accept the answer you find and take the appropriate countermeasure to correct the problem is up to you.
***WARNING***
Your decision can and will have long term consequences.

Humans are not strange. People are people, that has never changed and never will. One of the modern myths we tell ourselves is that we are different to people in the past.
No we're not, maybe we've learned that not all human instincts are desirable. But we are what we are.
As long as we realise that we can progress...........
For a while until we forget and we have re-learn it all again.

Considering I doubt I will randomly burst into flames, but could freeze to death quite easily, Ill stay down south. :)

I lived in the desert and the mountains...I like the heat better, but you can always get warmer by fire....you cant always cool off.

I wasn't implying that you'd just randomly burst into flames or freeze randomly (It was more of being trapped in a burning house or trapped in a freezer), I was just asking if you'd rather burn or freeze to death.

We're never different than what we were in the past. In reality we're all still savages looking out for only ourselves and will do anything necessary to assure a continued life - but in the modern world we've come to rely on so many technologies that do the dirty work for us. Once its gone we'll all go back to those savage people we used to be.
As for the realization of progress, it will end one day. It might not be tomorrow or next week but one day it'll come to an end.

The gulf is great for swimming :)

I hate the cold, so that leaves one other option...

true that....but where I was there was NO water for swimming.....I lived in Casa Grande AZ....but damn that was too hot.

life...a cyclic construction and destruction of matter for the purpose of conducting energy.
The destruction or construction could each be the final piece. One making existence fintie, the other prolonging it indefinitely.
Our individual lives suggest construction precedes destruction, which does not bode well for existence in general.
On the other hand our lives as a collective, through reproduction of the species, again provides the confusion as to which is more dominant.
Construction or destruction?
Am i crazy yet?
No?
Then I shall continue.
Everything we do is either constructive or destructive.
Many humans find a balance between the two.
Minorities move towards the extremes creating codependent balance.
Many stars find a balance between the two.
Minorities of stars move towards the extremes creating codependent balance.
Many bacteria find a balance between the two.
etc.
It's all a massive game of electrified, magnetically charged cosmic lego.
One day all the lego will be out of the box and then it will start being put back in the box.
Then when the box becomes entirely full the game restarts.
Apparently.
Trying to make sense of the behaviour of one square or even a small group of squares of the lego is entirely futile.

Not a fan of the dry heat. Stayed in Tucson for a while and I couldn't live there. Loved the mountains but not the heat, dust, and barren land.

Penquin, is that you? :headscratch:

Are we talking about legos??

People are strange when you're ah stranger. Faces look ugly when you're alone!

We are here because our ancestors ATE the other monkeys.
Given where we started from, we have come a long way. We still have a long way to go though.

I grew up in new orleans n was there for hurricane katrina. What I learned from that experience is that people are savage animals. All they need to provoke them is the right conditions, no 911. :noid
