Cappie:
: Mike, you are a complete moron.
: You should run the world if your smart enough to sum up a person's personality or psychological profile from a posting to a website. Have you applied to the CIA? Everett Citizen:
No one should "run the world" and the CIA should be disbanded. The CIA has done enough damage to freedom around the world, while serving the corporate elite and the military industrial complex.
And as far as calling someone a moron when all you have to go on is a web posting? Ha! There's the pot calling the kettle black! At least I didn't engage in name calling. I asked a question, something I'd like to see answered. Why is sex scarier than abuse?
Cappie:
: And lets not forget your unquestionable judgement as far as the abuse of children is concerned. Maybe he thinks sexual abuse is the worst form of abuse. Where do you get off telling him something is off kilter in his thought process if he does think so? And how the hell does that have any relevance to corporate rule?
Everett Citizen:
I never said anyone was off kilter! I asked a question. And corporate rule is a part of every aspect of western society, including how sex is presented. Sex is tabboo, shameful, unavailable EXCEPT when you buy our product! (They probably need a disclaimer on every car commercial, "Sex sold separately"). Have you seen the Burger King commercial telling us how "sexy" their sandwich is?
What goes unsaid is the real harm that the products being produced are causing, and the injustices that occur in the production process. Instead, we get bogey men to direct our ire at. And watch people come unglued when somebody calls the "honorable" Ronald McDonald by his real name: Child abuser!
Cappie:
: You seem to be the one who needs to open his mind and realize that other people can think differently from you and that that is not indicative of a lesser intelligence or an emotional imbalance.
Everett Citizen:
I wouldn't be wasting my time if I thought that people who thought differently were of lesser intelligence. I USED TO think differently than I do now. I was raised in twentieth century corporate conservatism and unquestioningly accepted your paradigms all my young life. But there comes a time when some of the answers don't fit, and the questions need to be asked again. I hope you don't stop asking questions (especially the UNCOMFORTABLE ones). Then you would stop learning.
