when i say "old world", what i probably mean is something akin to "old school" or "old fashioned"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/old-fashioned
old-fashioned sociological biases, specifically
for example: you probably would have understood me more clearly had i said "old school" to begin with, but in my old world mentality, "old school" sounds like [glow=black,2,300]ebonixxx[/glow] so i deliberately avoided using it lol hldjkshfsadkljf;sal (http://i.imgur.com/Mi8hy6n.gif)
What are your Old World and New World biases, Boyah? hocuspocus;
if you still don't quite understand what i mean (i'm not sure i do myself), see the following examples
example 2:
old world thinking: [glow=black,2,300]ebonixxx[/glow] is associated with poverty and crime and speaking it will reduce your job prospects and overall social standing in life (objective fact: http://www.nber.org/papers/w9873)
new world thinking: but that does not mean that [glow=black,2,300]ebonixxx[/glow] is not a valid american dialect, nor does it justify discrimination against its users
example 3:
old world thinking: video games are a wholly unproductive hobby
new world thinking: time wasted on something one enjoys is time well spent
that doodthing has breasts for eyes
example 4:
old world thinking: abortion is murder
new world thinking: my body my choice
it's the idea of idealism vs. pragmatism
and you know, what's interesting is that the old world and new world conclusions are never actually incompatible with one another
rather, they are complementary
combined thinking, using the previous example: abortion is a necessary evil that should always be readily available to those who might benefit from it, but we must work towards minimizing abortion rates

I kind of do feel that my need to play video games is somewhat limiting the great contributions I could make to the world with that same time girl;
Although that goes for any hobby not just vidyas

apparently I'm old world too girl;
I don't think your combined thinking is a very good compromise for those who believe abortion is murder though. If abortion is necessary you could also easily argue euthanasia of the those who require assistance to continue to live or function is necessary for the benefit of others. Often throughout history murder is sugarcoated as being purportedly for the greater good or benefit of a people or society or even a singular persons situation

Eh the new world is too nice girl; I mean model citizen sorta in that I have a job and vote and pay taxes and don't get arrested I suppose. I guess I'm technically Christian though I constantly question the dogma. It's very technically accurate I'll give you lol
both old world and new world have their time, place, audience, and practical application
but when both styles of thinking are present in a single mind simultaneously, a single mind that doesn't realize that they aren't necessarily incompatible, then they lead to cognitive dissonance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance), which causes all sorts of bad thinking habits and psychological complexes
it's part of the reason i'm so fuck;ed up and i'm only now realizing it lol

My Catholic schools, and most others I know of actually, taught evolution in our science classes with a caveat that some religious scholars disagreed on the subject. It was generally explained to me, however, that Catholicism and evolution had no major issues and could coexist.
I am a very lax Catholic especially since moving away from family. I still enjoy the traditions and the moral guidance and I really like the new Pope who I think brings a voice of reason to the world. However there are Catholic ideas I disagree with so I wouldn't say I'm 100% on board. I think the idea that hell awaits anyone who doesn't follow Jesus is ludicrous when God is supposed to be full of unconditional love. That being born in a certain part of the world would increase your likelihood of following another religion and thereby doom you.

well I mean id say thats a great thing normally and often I'm very good at seeing both sides of something like that and making their logic meet together however I admit to being much too emotionally invested in abortion to ever see anything other than a life or death situation requiring it to be necessary. Obviously somewhat idealistic but I have to morally stand on something I've wavered on so much

I am sorry I am just about wholly incapable of accepting praise. So thank you for your words although I have difficulty believing them perhaps because you only get to know me through the side I present and therefore I feel your opinion is misled by that biased information .
God I'm a nut n_u
But really thanks for your support
i have been dropping Old World truths on bluaki for days now and i'm sure she feels beaten by it lol

but the important thing is that you realize that such people are extremists, their numbers are actually quite small (though they create the illusion of being more numerous than they are by simply being as
loud and
obnoxious and
inflammatory as possible), and that to retaliate by become a card-carrying fascist would make you just as much of an ignorant reactionary as they are, deepen the divide, and in the long term, make society just that much worse for
everyone, you and them included lol

Also before I wrote as if you were from the Americas when the old world would be Europe I'm so dumb >_<'
that's probably because, if you're like me, you perceive south america as being just a bit more 'old world' than the us is (aren't i an ignorant one), even though it's of course not literally a part of the geographical old world lol
my Oldish World parents emigrated from the south american region
