e you won’t bother even beginning to explain what you actually mean by the word “society”, let alone provide a systemic exposition of your reasoning in this regard
Except I did, numerous times. It’s none of my business why you refuse to accept that I even said it.
I regarded it - among other things - as an attempt at intimidation or "getting under my skin
Well I don’t know why. I was sincere, and I still am. But if you don’t want my help, all you have to do is say “I don’t want/need your help.” There’s no reason to start incessantly flaming me because of it.
“All societies are different…” means absolutely nothing to me, since I have no idea what you mean by “society”. If you’re man enough to actually provide your definition for that word, then we can actually get started for once
1) This is flaming. I am surprised it is allowed on these forums. It certainly does not create productive conversation, that’s for sure.

You can think whatever you want of me; judgement says more about the judger than the judgee.

I have provided definitions for society: Groups of people that share common goals, etc and which individual actions of its members effect each other, in both seen and unseen ways. If you want a better definition, I am basically using this one:
- The aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
- The community of people living in a particular region and/or having shared customs, laws, and organizations
The dictionary definition; which I try to use as often as possible, as it is supposed to make conversation easier (and does with most people). I have layed this definition out multiple times in this thread, and if I am not mistaken in another conversation we had a year or two ago. It is your problem, not mine, that you refuse to accept this fact.
can only read this as an attempt to bully me into using your definitions - your implicit definitions! - which only reveals your own narrow-mindedness in refusing to entertain other people’s possibly different semantics. I’d be perfectly happy to entertain yours if you’d simply lay them out for me. But no, you won’t even do that at this point, now will you? Thus it seems obvious to me that I’ve struck quite a nerve
It wasn’t. And you haven’t. Tho it is funny that you are trying to “strike a nerve” with me, and at the same time accusing ME of being a troll…
No, I think you’re already angered
If me getting angry will make you feel better, I will gladly do that. Tho I should warn you that it will not make you feel any better in the long run. RAGJLEINFIEND! RAAAAAAAAAGE! YOU GET UNDER MY SKIN SO BAD!!!
Nah, jk. It’s the internet bro. I could really care less what some faceless stranger thinks of me
Much love ,
