The Future of Progress

[Klorgia1]

A thread for your predictions about the the future of progress. Feel free to speculate and debate. Here are mine.

Sexual experimentation will become part of the public school curriculum.
No
Homosexuals will become increasingly militant, incorporating uniforms into their parades
No
Everyone will get bored by MLK after the bazillionth time, and so Black History Month will focus instead on celebrating the cultural legacy of twerking. Kanye West will be featured on American currency
No.
HBO's Tits and Blood will be acclaimed by critics as "hip, stylish and sexy." Intended for mature audiences.
?
In the United States, "living document" judges will rule that the Fourteenth Amendment protects polygamy and mandates all states having polygamous marriage; those who object will be dismissed as "polyphobes". Judges will also rule freedom of speech protects child pornography, and due process protects pederasty.
Definitely No
After realizing space exploration's returns are dwarfed by costs, atheists will cease to support it. Science will instead focus on pony sexbots and making anime real
nope. Anime becoming real thoooo.....
The Second great Acrosion war will end the world along with the Last Death Notes, so we'll see.
Euthanasia will be used to treat depression among children.
Definitely No
Islam will become the largest religion in Europe. The Pope will hail this as a "victory against colonialism."

No.

So, you consider her feminist Muslim

I think he's more specifically trying to accuse me of being a "progressive," whatever that means by his definition.

Anyone who disagrees with him, I gather...

[The Parkus Empire]

And you, lassie, I am beginning to see where you stand.

To paraphrase my hero, Richard Nixon: she's pink right down to her hijab.

Congrats. You have noticed that I am a muslimah who doesn't agree with your political views. Do you want a medal?

If a Muslim agreed with my views, I would probably have a nervous breakdown

Nah, if anyone agreed with your views you'd just change them to be more extreme so you could go on doing your thing

Seeing someone think in such a bigoted manor actually makes me sad. I have agreed, at different times, about different things, with people who are Christian, Jewish, and otherwise. I don't recall having a mental breakdown. I can only hope that, someday, you will be in a place where your identity is not so insecure as to have a breakdown over someone who happens to follow a different faith than you happening to agree with some view of yours.

This is a whole new level of shallow I didn't think people could possess.

Obviously compromise and overlapping beliefs is only for commie pinko leftist Muslims, or something.

I'm not bigot, I can tolerate Muslims dissenting from me, no problem. Muslims agreeing with me, however, would force me into an existential crisis

That seems rather bigoted, quite honestly.

You've said before you support Christians having to abide by Biblical law so you're already pretty close to your own version of Sharia.

[Oil exporting People]

But aren't they wealthy, and thus, won't like communism stealing all their riches.

It's called Champagne Socialism, but I think the Soviets called it "Parlor Socialism".

Also, do you think that minorities must have lower rights than whites, and that the defeat of CSA and abolishment of slavery and then indentured servants for minorities across the world were mistakes

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Supporting the New Deal makes you sympathetic to communism? Are we about to see the "socialism is when the government does stuff" kind of rhetoric?

Please quote directly where I said that.

I'm guessing they are referring to

"He's not saying their ideology is specifically Communist, but that they are at least sympathetic to it; one can point to plenty of New Dealers and celebrities in this regard."

Even as massive as the english language is I don't think there's a word to describe "hatred for people who hold the same beliefs as me."

Err, the 10 commandments?

There are Christians who disagree.

Why exactly?

Because I would lose all faith in my own narrow-mindedness. And if I'm not narrow-minded, what does that make me? A freethinker. And freethinkers reject revelation, which would mean I'm living a lie.

You have to be kidding at this point.

Never have I seen someone admit that their mind is closed to reason and proud of it.

Which is my point; that sentence says nothing close to what he's claiming.

What a rational train of thought.

May I introduce you to blue laws and a phenomenon known as the bible belt?
