I'm a competitive person, but I don't engage by choice in any form of competition where life & death or quality of life hinges.  Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I'm alone, and there's nothing more tyrannical than organizing bloodsport with universal mandatory participation under threat of imprisonment or death.
Whaa.....

What Life or Death competitions? What bloodsports are you talking about?

I'm just going to ignore this.  You'll figure it out.

Keep in mind that I did concede that the systems I am so against are largely responsible for getting us to modern levels of technology.  But our scientific understanding and mass communications capabilities have reached a point where those systems are now obsolete and holding us back.

Football does not have any blood, it only counts as a sport

Holding us back from what, exactly?

"That horrible stuff was really effective but now we don't need it anymore" is usually a delusion. Especially as you've just admitted you have no idea what they're actually preventing.

Is this a "I have been defeated" gg or a "I can't think of what to say next so I'll shake my head and say they're beyond saving" gg?
