keeping it real?

I was never an avid fan of the argument "It's not natural". Horrible. In what paralell universe are human beings even remotely connected to nature anymore? We can perform laser surgery on each other, dance to drum n bass, walk on things that are located in space, and somehow manage to drink Fernet(gross). That's why I can't help but get a bit upset when someone, for instance, says homosexuals shouldn't adopt, simply because it's not natural. If that argument was even remotely valid, we couldn't do anything anymore. Here are a few more instances where I feel human beings aren't exactly celebrating their life-long connection with good old mother earth:

-Some species enjoy fornication by nature. We've come to enjoy it so much that we invented the internet, just to sit by ourselves and watch other couples fornicate, and they don't even reproduce in the end. Pathetic. Slash awesome.
-We are fully aware of the fact that alcohol is very unhealthy and makes us throw up. Still, we drink it until we...throw up.
-We think karaoke is a good idea.
-Homo sapiens sometimes create sequels that have nothing to do with the first movie made.
-We fly Ryanair. God I hate that company.
-We urinate into something that's made of the same material as the things we put our food on, and then engourage each other to recycle.

All these things are very non-natural, and should therefore be abolished, right? I hope all you naysayers out there agree on that. I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm being a bit ridiculous, but I just know that if I was denied the opportunity to skip brushing my teeth because I'm lazy, watch tv in the bathroom, and read Narnia in a language I learned while studying photography in Paris, just because some idiot read Darwin backwards, I would be pissed. In conclusion: I think adoption, hetero or homo, is awesome and if you ever want to win an argument with me, simply by stating that something isn't "natural", I would like proof that you are also anti everything that human beings say, do, think and want. The 21st century is pretty cool, come join us.

Pictures from the past couple of weeks coming up soon.
