The finger amputation is so stupid. How could people suddenly render themselves disabled? Do they enjoy pity and begging? |

Attimes I look around the world and I wanna thank my earliest folks for paying huge price for civilisation. Imagine my earlobe being elongated just to place one useless plate inside of it and my wife lower lips being elongated just to place useless plate in it..... Taaa Tufiakwa. The worst thing in life is ignorance/uncivilised and not knowing one is uncivilised. Imagine someone will cut off his fingers because u wanna mourn ..... I even understand the sharpened teeth, maybe they use their teeth in place of lack of knife .... bloody vampires. .... This shows human were animals at some point ...... evolution, exposure,innovation, civilisation and now technology is the real deal. |
