: Do not tell me to be ashamed of myself! Well well,
Do you see how difficult it is to make a point without resorting to
wild rhetoric? It isn't very easy is it? It takes a good deal of time
to make a literate and thoughtful point. I take great umbrage with
those who who sloganeer with such snipets as "The terror on the big
level is performed by polite and correct gentlemen in suit, attach
case and credit card. The terror the rich upper classperform
against the poor majority on this planet is the biggest genocide
ever committed". Reading your initial post titled, "USA: mother of
Terrorism", I bristle because it is meant to provoke. The function of
the rhetoric was to provoke. It generalizes and condemns a very large
group of people, the indivduals of which you cannot know personally.
In some circles this is known as bigotry.
If you will concede that the actions of exploitive capitalists do
not define all capitalist we can talk because there is much good to
be said of people along with the criminals types you focus on. If you
seperate people into acceptable and unacceptable because of their
income without taking the time to know them, you have much to be
ashamed of. If you insist that capitalism is evil and you know a
better way, you haven't correctly understood evil and its origins and
haven't seen it at work in all the other 'isms out there.
Perhaps I'm wrong and you are the one who has the world saving plan.
Well, let's hear it Frode. Try using the calmer approach as
demonstrated in your second post. I'm far more likely to concentrate
if I don't have the distraction of defending myself against charges of
being a terrorist.
