    Man that's pretty funny - I appreciate your psycho-analysis as I'm sure you're so well qualified to do so and know me so well.

    Simply because I hold these views as they are doesn't mean I don't hope for good things for myself, others or the world. I think it's more a combination of optimist/pessimist and realist/dreamer... but I guess it's just easier to call people type cast as you've done here in some odd manner.

    Also, I'm very big on the idea that everyone has a right to their own opinions and beliefs no matter what they are... not solely those I agree with. And as you state here in bold, I'm very happy you believe that, but I do not. I also think anytime "most people" comments are used, it has zero baring on anything.

    Yeah I'm thinking the same - and part of it could be mere semantics now too.

    I'll have to check out that documentary - don't think I've seen it. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Have you seen that documentary called Life and Debt? I think you would like it.

    Also, I'll throw my $0.02 in to your discussion with cate. I don't think y'all are disagreeing at all; I think you're just not understand one another.

    Whatever... I meant no disrespect. From some your other post you sound like you don't like people or have much faith in society itself. But that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. But for someone who says that

    No disrespect? You said I have real issues, need soul searching and sound miserable and lonely? Where exactly is there a mis-interpretation? That's pretty disrespectful especially cause you base it merely off of disagreeing with my opinion and nothing more.

    Also, where exactly does it say that a person needs to like the society or people around them in order to be well adjusted, happy or anything remotely of the sort? One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other and is nothing more than you projecting that connection.

    Being a "humanist" and wanting the best of people, the world and society doesn't mean you simply are all wishy-washy about all the good things and ignore the rest. I am a humanist but merely with very high level of realism combined with science, pragmatism and cynicism from the things I see, learn and experience in life. Being anything but realistic in my opinion is mere delusion and for your own false sense of being.

    Just a matter of time before America is hit again? What about the countries that are war-torn and have innocent civilians who have to put up with this kind of shit 24/7?

    Not that I'm condoning this at ALL... I think its disgusting someone would do this... But I'm just saying...

    Probably just as long as it took for the other side to blame GW for everything. I think you see where I'm going with this...
