...and why is this world considered NORMAL?

UFO's as in object from somewhere other than earth are not such a crazy concept. We, us humans, would be vain in the extreme to believe that we are the only intelligent beings in this vast universe. Some undoubtedly have been around longer than us (more intelligent) as some haven't been around as long as us (less intelligent). Us humans in actuality haven't been around all that long. Now whether they can travel between solar systems is dependent on how advanced they are. If (in theory) I was one of them and I arrived here and looked around I would see a world where the inhabitants couldn't even get along with each other once since like, ever, but were always trying to take that which someone else has for themselves (wars), then I too would not want to land and make my presence known for fear of being killed or maimed for whatever I had just because someone else wanted it.\nSome people believe the bible is the whole and complete truth, that GOD made man about 6,000 years ago,regardless of the fossil evidence that mankind has been around for over 15,000 years. If that were true, then why would GOD waste all the space that the universe takes up?\nThis is considered as normal because of widespread dogma (various religions) and blind faith (close-mindedness) since the beginnings of human conscienceness.\nAt least that is what I believe.

Normal is not. Normal is generally what is accepted and being done by the masses.\n\nBut in regards to LGBT, normal and natural are two different things. \n\nHeterosexuality is the natural order of things. Man and woman have a baby girl, and that baby grows up and has a baby with a man - who also came from another man and woman - and they have a baby boy.....and the cycle continues.\n\nThe ultimate use of sex is procreation. It is one of the key parts of survival - keeping the species alive and going. Attraction is something that leads to sex. If a man is attracted to another man, then there is something wrong.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there is anything morally wrong with homosexuality, what I'm saying is that it is not what nature intends.\n\nI personally believe it is caused naturally, by hormones and such, i mean, it would have to be wouldn't it? Attraction is natural, and doesn't tend to happen until after sexual development (puberty) which is a hormonal and physical thing. \n\nI can't help being attracted to certain people, and certain attributes they have, and neither can anybody else. I didn't choose to be attracted to women, and by the same token, i didn't chose to not be attracted to men. It is just the way I developed.\n\nHope this was helpful.

Well. pretty much as a rule, the whole of humanity decides what's ordinary and what isn't. Technically if you want it written in stone you'll have to do a world-wide poll, including every living person. That's not really feasible, though.\n\nEdit: I disagree. You have to be reasonable, you can't expect everything to be perfect, you really can't. You have to declare something sensibly "ordinary" or "extraordinary" and realise that no matter what there's always going to be those few  who are going to disagree, no matter what. By the standard of perfect, everything is "meaningless" because nothing is perfect.

What he meant is that people around the world are UNCONCERNED. We all know that there will are evil people who will do evil deeds. But what are we going to do about it? The world is dangerous because people are unconcerned about these things.\n\nHe is persuading us TO CARE and BE COCERNED about what is happening around us and DO THE RIGHT THING.

Each society has their own value system. And to each of us it looks strange of the other society. That is where a very important word and belief comes in. It is called tolerence!

I'll give you my view as a psychologist: the label of 'mentally ill' is just as subjective as the norms themselves! I mean, who decides what the norm will be anyway? And therefore, who can decide what is normal and what's beyond normal? The social norm is subject to culture, era, tradition, religion, etc. The only norm that can be considered somewhat objective is each person's norm; either his norm for himself, or his norm for evaluating external events. And that is formed by his own life experiences and other personal variables. For example, if your mother has a psychotic personality and your father frequently expresses neurotic symptoms, it will be absolutely normal for you to form a borderline-like behaviour system!

The issue isn't love, it's sexual pleasure only.\n\nAnd yes, I agree it isn't normal. But who am I to judge?

Hey luv, it's called living in today's upside down "bizarro" world.... This world is so anti-hapiness that it's only normal so many of us fall into substance abuse in order to find some form of hapiness.\n\nI am the same way as you are, and my hubby also agrees... \n\nI am not saying it's a necessarly "good" thing per se, but alas, it is an effect of having to survive in today's modern backwards world....

Those who pay attention ARE getting a 'wake-up call'.\n\nThose who think what you listed is 'cool' or 'normal'  dont WANT a wake-up call,  they like things just as they are.\n\nThe TV shows and movies dictate what less than stellar achievers put first in their lives.  Such 'entertainment'  is a sad reflection of our society today.\n\nMany of us have totally stopped 'feeding' on such garbage. \nYou know that old saying-- "garbage IN garbage OUT".\n\nsad reflection of today's society--a good dose of antiseptic might be in order...

I think the "world" is a fine place. Nature is amazing and should be protected. Fighting? I suppose yes, but not at the detriment of flora and fauna. If you are referring to humans, we leave a lot to be desired but the good within should eventually catch up with our level of education , thus the utopia written about in fiction might be achieved.\n\nDo only good things and you will be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem.

Dreams fit the person.  For example say you grew up in a home with alcoholic parents, in and out of shelters, poverty, violence, all that stuff.  I think it would be perfectly normal for someone to have a dream where no yells in their house.  Or they have a job and can pay all of their bills.  Do you see where I'm going with this?  There is nothing wrong with just being normal.

wow...didn't know all that...good info...i agree..it is a type of mental disorder...kinda like over eaters, thieves, drunkards, and so on....people who say it has been around for a long time and say its normal...so has murder is that normal...and if it is so normal...why does is go against natural law...they can't reproduce themselves...how does it exist if it is not a mental condition? so i guess we made the wrong decision...
