has mankind lost its originality?

A statement which has been made for thousands of years, and will be made for thousands of years.

Once again, WW1 vets thought their kids (future WWII vets) were giant pussies who wouldnt amount to anything.

Didnt mean an exact copy but its like this. Top Hyundai, Last top Benz and the last Lexus LS cars look damn near identical and thats three vastly different price point cars. Its geeting so a Buick looks just like an Accord.

The flip side is the Mustang looked very similar to old models, the Camaro, The Challenger, the Ford GT all look like they did years ago. And they will prolly all morph into looking like their latter year cars too. Man I dont look foreward to them trying to recreate the Mustang II.

Yeah, the econoboxes all look alike. I love the challenger and stang, but I wish that chevy would have continued the Camaro evolution instead of going retro.

Which cars look just like they did 40 years ago?

There is something about this site that makes people become assholish. I don't do any of the shit on the other forums I'm on, just here.

It is the gray backgrounds, and all the damn smilies you have to dig through.

Because then he wouldn't be smarter than the average poster.

Precisely

Haha actually, I am a member on some engineering forums. However I am not a dick there. No one is usually. They are also no fun...

So why not go and find another site that has people on it that match your intelligence? Quit slumming.

Because I love DFWM...it's accepting of all...or maybe I should say rejecting?

We hate everyone equally, we are neither racist nor tollerant, we don't hate, but we can't love. No one is above the ass whipping, as illustrated with the patsymelt threads.

Just so I can positively contribute to this thread, I think that a lot of the problem of creativity lies in the facts that:

A: the world is a lot smaller today, we can see what's going on in other countries in a matter of seconds, there are no big reveals anymore like at science fairs or in publications.

B: People are getting lazy, since they can see any major discovery in a matter of seconds it is easier to mooch off of that discovery and try to improve on it, instead of being original.

Plus, in America with our entitlement atitude we'd rather use someone elses shit and claim it our own than to create something new and innovative (not everyone, but the increasing majority of people would)

C: Those fucking hipsters.

Anyway, I was feeling old the other day as I was thinking how all new cars look alike except the few that look just like they did 40+ years ago.


But J&B used to run ads years ago about how life is cyclic and how what once was will be again. So may as well keep drinking J&B. LOL

Eternal return

Which is perfectly fine with me...stupid people typically follow poor advice anyway

You do constantly come off as a pompous asshole. No need to be. Nobody really listens to your advice because you just seem like a snob that only gives a shit about himself.
