Segregation stems from many things, namely racism and sexism. Cities can be given to people of certain culture, nationality, or sexual preference. I refrain from calling people racist or sexist if “different” people make them uncomfortable. You cross this line when you fail to make an attempt to accept them and outright shun them.

In order to unite as people, we need something to collectively disagree with. This is why wars will always exist. This is why our political parties have divided into two. As long as questions with two answers can be asked, people will argue their point louder than the opposing party.

“Do you accept gay marriage?”

“Are you for the war?”

“Do the poor need tax breaks?”

All questions have answers that can be backed fairly reasonably. But as these questions can only be responded in one of two ways, people who agree with each other will segregate themselves from people who don’t. That’s why we have conservative and liberal towns and states.

People need to have an answer to a question. We like to be right. We want to know our answers are right. We start surrounding ourselves with people similar in opinion so that while no correct answer actually exists, we can make it feel like one does. And that it’s ours.

If you haven’t heard, the law basically says that you cannot drive with a phone pressed to your ear. Nowhere in this law, however, does it say that I cannot duct tape my hand to my forehead.

Time to get some duct tape.

You know those special soccer games you played when you were a kid? The one where you guys would play and nobody would keep score?

“It’s not about who wins,” they would say.

“Everyone gets a chance to play.”

“Everybody’s a winner.”

Nobody acknowledges failures, because they don’t want anybody to feel bad about themselves. Everything is about fun; sportsmanship is the lesson of the game.

Yeah, soccer isn’t fun. Winning games is fun. Those games were fucking stupid.

There’s your affirmative action.
