Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Welcome to the human condition. In order for any kind of society or modern convenience to exist we need collaboration which doesn't come naturally between groups.
Except it does. Nearly all societies before the invention of currency worked on a lend and trade basis, depending on how close they were. Human nature genuinely isn't greed. That is a learned condition for those not born with BPD or a sociopathy.
And yet we've developed faster and faster until this point with no signs of slowing down. Do you really think you don't have it a million times better today than somebody living in a time of barter and trade? Back when infant mortality was 50%, and disease had no cures?

Correlation without even a hint of causality isnt exactly a good argument.
