When will society collapse?
I mean, it would take a lot of evolution to get out of being a social animal, millions or hundreds of millions of years. and until that could happen, we'll be always drawn together by instinctive behaviour. step away a 1000 km and it's obvious we're one of the most massively social species. we pack into huge cities, side by side in small concrete blocks, for no good reason. it isn't like there wasn't empty space everywhere, we're just drawn together. we've even invented ways to be together regardless of physical distance. we've always lived in packs, villages, towns, tribes, since the oldest known hominids (and beyond). it'll never change, and we'll always be forced to co-exist, so there will always be societies.
sure there will be trends, subcultures, superficial change in our societies, but the basic equation won't change: we flock together, we make hives of different sizes. society will never collapse, it won't even fundamentally change. the cities 5000 years ago were only superficially different from today.

the next day the guy comes back again, like always, so the newsguy cracks: "looks like the world didn't end yet after all, eh?"
the sign guy gives him a blank stare for a while, and then says: "are you sure?"

I had a random girl add me today, she doesnt seem to have much information on her page - just a link to more pictures of her.
What do you guys think? Will they be sexy pictures?

I started a facebook page just to see what the deal was. After a week I honestly don't see what the point is. Why would anyone want to go to the trouble to do this? Perhaps I'm missing something, though. What are you supposed to do with these things?
Some people mistakenly think it's a place to put every thought and action they do on this planet because they think other people actually care what they do.
