"What's a "chicken-fry"? Is that a reference to people who work in the fast food industry? Or some kind of diagonal reference to the old "black people like fried chicken" chestnut? I don't get it."
It's a term originating from my mind from "chicken-fried steak", which is a Southern type thing. As in THE STAND miniseries when Stu Redman is told, "It makes me sick to see good men die while chicken-fried crap like you lives." Paraphrasing. I use it to designate any worthless degenerate ill-conception who disregards responsibility and has no moral or ethical stance whatsoever. (Not, I note, Stu Redman, but the term fit a whole subset of society, black, white, Mexican, whatever...human beings with no desire to better themselves, the world, or the quality of life. In other words, a "chicken-fry").
Of course you're ready to play the racial angle. Why would I be on this forum to begin with, and in this thread, if my whole stance is using racial epitaphs? How about some common sense?
And my assertion that this culture is D-U-N is valid, friend. Where's the advancement? Where are the great minds? The technology age is the new Dark Age. Originality cannot form in the soil of mediocrity. And what the technology age has provided is the immobilization of self, of the rise of the idea that "everyone has a chance". Well, they don't. That's a reality. Real genius, real talent, is now buried under mountains of mediocre voices crying out for attention. Stephen Hawking is the closest approximation of "greatness" this culture has left, one of a few voices left who might impart something that could change everything. And not everyone has to do that, but in this day and age, how would you know it? With mediocrity being hailed as genius left and right, and the subsequent relief of this culture to fall in line with that subterreanean watermark (since it doesn't require work), you're left with an empty fast food mentality ready to anoint the next temporary blip in the dwindling stream of great minds. No integrity, no worth.
I simply assert that the unborn aborted millions do not contain the key to mankind's modern or future relevance. It doesn't require one great genius to solve all the problems, or a Superman savior. It takes men and women committed to making the culture better, to solve the problems that people were interested in solving sometime in the 1960s, but which dissolved as fantasy soonafter. The culture is currently exhausted, and most likely only catastrophe will both result and solve the issue of lost potential. In 1968, man walked on the moon. 37 years later, where have things gone? Where are the advancements? Did all those abortions result in the death of the man who would have taken mankind to the stars, or to some subatomic dimension?
Highly likely that cat would have merely contributed to the next strain of ebola which will, no doubt, arise as nature attempts to balance out all of this overpopulation. The point that was made was that pro-choice does not preclude the existence of hope for a better world. Frankly, I'm more in the Ambrose Bierce camp, and was he really wrong? Some people thought 911 was going to change the culture. And it did, in all the wrong ways. Vats of jingoist peanut butter with no expiration date. Congratulations.
