Transcript:
Rat: Do you ever think that as a society we've grown soft? That rather than rely on our God-given abilities, we now just rely on someone or something else to give us a boost? Goat: I don't think that's true. I think - Noise: BEEP BEEP. Roadrunner: Spare a buck for two tired roadrunners? Goat: That's disturbing. Roadrunner: Money, please.

Society has always relied on something else. It would seem if one were to study society that a percentage use GOD and the Devil as Scapegoats for our collective behavior. aloha!

I thought that a segway was a transition between or end of a sentence/commercial…

Wasn’t it the inventor of the Segway that rode one off a cliff to his death?

Those roadrunners are like politicians asking for money like they’re poor but yet able to have expensive stuff like a segway.

Certain sectors of the population have always been soft – it’s just that they used slaves or cheap servants to do their work for them, and now they use machines. Maybe now, just more people are soft.

It’s hard for me to understand what these roadrunners are saying, since they don’t hold up signs or speak in “Meeps.”
Sirzanne over 12 years ago
I think so… but hiding behind a guise called SEGWAY ARMY!

If you’re finding religious commentary in your daily comics – which, personally, I read for humor – maybe you need to go elsewhere for your daily dose.

Of course, many generations have been called “soft.” Adolph Hitler thought Great Britain was soft in the ’30s, as Japan did the Americans. Later the Communists thought the West was soft. Now the militant Islamists think the West is soft and corrupt.
.
I suspect that you could go back to the days of Socrates and find that they were getting soft. In some cases it was true, and someone did collapse when attacked. However, it is more common that the trials of life inspire us to find the strength within.

I remember when a segway was just a bridge between two cool tunes. (I know it’s spelled different, gimme a break)
