You're the exception to the rule Frem.
Most people in here or anywhere in real life don't have what it takes to really make a difference. Me included.
For most it's a bunch of waving of hands in the air and telling everyone else in earshot that their way is the right way, while never doing a thing about it other than complaining.

--you're almost right, Dick; perhaps not THE dumbest, but damned close. Damn, you guys are just full of guffaw-inspiring statements this morning!Quote:
VICTIMS, little one, victims. I have never in my life felt victimized by Muslims; those I've known have been no different than any other people.
Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, essentially mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of kindness.
As to weak; no, I defend myself quite nicely when needed, thank you. I put a spiked heel through the shoe of a guy who got fresh once; the difference is I don't run around putting forth violence as the answer to everything. And I don't trash people because of their religion, despite the fact I'm buddhist and don't believe in a God and think organized religions are some of the worst things every created by man.
I also don't see terrorists in every shadow, which you and others like you seem to be all "warm and fuzzy" about doing. Once again; your chances of being affected by terrorism are even less than you're being able to recognize your chances of being affected by terrorism are nil.

Maybe you're right after all, Dick; it's certainly right up there in the top ten most stupid posts of all time...
Chronically frightened authoritarian followers, looking for someone to attack because fighting is one of the things people do when they are afraid, are particularly likely to do so when they can find a moral justification for their hostility. Authoritarian followers feel empowered to isolate and segregate, to humiliate, to persecute, because in their heads they can almost hear the loudspeakers announcing, “Now batting for God’s team, his designated hitter, (their name).” High RWAs are more likely to sentence common criminals to long jail sentences, are more likely to be prejudiced, are more willing to join “posses” organized by authorities to hunt down and persecute almost any group you can think of. They seemingly have a lot of hostility boiling away inside them that their authorities can easily unleash. Indeed, this authoritarian aggression is one of the three defining elements of right-wing authoritarianism.
Events like the attacks of 9/11 can drive large parts of a population to being as frightened as authoritarian followers are day after day. In calm, peaceful times as well as in genuinely dangerous ones, high RWAs feel threatened. . There’s always a national crisis looming ahead. All times are troubled times that require drastic action.

Wow... a personal attack on my writing ability. Ouch....
I admit that my editor was out of town and I'm just too damn lazy to write perfect online posts to please some no-name know it all online. Your having taken offense to my, at worst, mildly offensive grammatical errors is offensive to me.
This is the very essence of the Nanny State that the rational people here are revolting against... whether it comes from a Democratic, or Republican oppressive force, or simply from a one-tracked-minded fool who needs to resort to attacks on somebody's grammar.
Especially when that grammatical idiot probably has at least 30 IQ points on you.

Speaks volumes that your entire rant is about my mention of grammar...which by the way, was neither an attack nor was I offended, it was merely an afterthought, not an attack and I certainly didn't "need" to say it. I just noted it, as someone who very much loves the English language. Then to extrapolate it with a gigantic rant against some kind of "Nanny State", is weird.
That you had nothing to say regarding my refutation of "Stockholm Syndrome" also speaks volumes to your unwillingness to participate in an intelligent debate.
That's find, it's your right, but it's a shame.
