Debunking the idea that nature is always good.

I hear the same line of argumentation used over and over again on every possible issue of conflict. "It's unnatural." This comes up all the time, and honestly it's an extremely empty and flawed argument to make. Let's just analyze the merits of the argument. Take a common issue this argument is thrown around a lot in. Homosexuality. Often you'll here "it's unnatural therefore it's bad." Okay, so does unnatural = bad? No!!!! Plenty of shit is useful and even life enhancing that doesn't come from "nature." [b][u]All the shit that is useful and still still unnatural.[/u][/b] > eye glasses >replacement hips >tools >video games >cars >trains >and so on [b][u]All the shit that is not good in nature[/u][/b] >-blam!-ing earthquakes >murder >giant ass rocks in space that could kill us all >black holes >illnesses >and so on The -blam!-ing point is that something being "natural" doesn't mean that makes whatever the -blam!- it is good or bad. Plenty of man made shit is useful and good. Plenty of it isn't. The usefulness or the "goodness" of something has nothing to to with it being man made or not.
