then when marriage is over -- what are my car and house and job doing in my hands instead of yours?
when a consumptive society runs out of resources what do they consume next?
each other.
great line from james bond movie skyfall
Raoul Silva
[repeated line, onscreen text that appears on M's computer screen.] Think on your sins.
[first lines.] Hello James, welcome. Do you like the island? [chuckles.] My grandmother had an island when I was a boy. Nothing to boast of. You could walk along it in an hour. But still, it was - it was a paradise for us. One summer, we came for a visit and discovered the whole place had been infested with rats. They'd come on a fishing boat and had gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you get rats off an island, hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum, and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait. The rats come for the coconut, and... [imitates metallic scuttering.] They fall into the drum, and after a month, you've trapped all the rats. But what did you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it. And they begin to get hungry, then one by one... [imitates rat munching sound.] They start eating each other, until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what - do you kill them? No. You take them, and release them into the trees. Only now, they don't eat coconut anymore. Now they will only eat rat. You have changed their nature. The two survivors; this is what she made us.
[onscreen text, as his laptop breaches Q Branch's security, unlocking his holding cell.] Not such a clever boy.
[to his henchmen, about M] Everyone, listen to me! Don't you dare touch her! She's mine!
Do you see what comes of all this running around, Mr. Bond? All this jumping and fighting, it's exhausting! Relax. You need to relax... Ah well, mother's calling. I will give her a good-bye kiss for you.
Do Millennials-- people in my generation-- care about marriage anymore? I'm constantly asked for relationship and dating advice and hear a lot about how people want to be in relationships. What I'm not hearing is what comes after the dinner dates, going out, and so forth.
The way today’s society is set up I would say “no”, people do not want to get married or be in relationships. It is way too easy for people to live out their lives independently and alone these days whereas relationships and especially marriage requires continual work and commitment. Unfortunately too many view this condition as some sort of “improvement” rather than the societal failing that it actually is. One could just as easily ask "what happened to romance?"
you mean a woman would cheat on me after putting out all that money for a ring????????
Not gonna lie, I LOL'd at that.

Society had it's failings and eventual death built right in from the get-go. It just took until the Information Age for many to be able to see them and realize that something wasn't right.
