But isnt anyone else sick of being treated as a moron for disagreeing?
wow. If i argued with my friends like that im pretty sure id have even less friends
No, because the way someone else treats me has no bearing on my conscience. If Skeletor wants to call me a moron, he's more than welcome to do it. I just hope he doesn't want me to care.
It does matter if you are trying to actually hold a conversation with a person and they just completely judge you and dismiss your view. You may say 'Then don't bother talking to them anymore.' But it gets very frustrating and discouraging when the communication just shuts down like that.

The frustration you feel is that person owning you. Don't allow people like Donald Rumsfeld to own you.
no, americans do not see that. we americans are astonishingly stupid. i saw a poll yesterday that said 65 percent disapprove of how the bush admin handled katrina, with 35 percent approving. look, i know everyone blew it on katrina, the mayor, the governor, fema, and the president, so im not blaming everything on buswh...BUT the fact that 35 percent of americans APPROVE of how bush handled Katrina is very telling. it is hard to imagine, but thats where we stand. the administration treats us like we are stupid because WE ARE STUPID. look at more polls, i think that something like 39 percent approve of how the bush admin is HANDLING iraq. not if we should be there or not, not if we should fight terrorism or not, but HOW HE IS HANDLING IT, take a walk down the street, and force yourself to realise that 4 out of every 10 people you see APPROVE of how this admin is HANDLING iraq!!!!!! 3.5 out of those 10 people APPROVE of how they HANDLED katrina!!!!!!! i am DEEPLY ashamed of my country. how can these numbers even be possible?????????
so, no, americans do not realize Rumsfeld is a blithering moron. most of us may, but a LARGE number of us DO NOT.
A Vietnam Vet has said:
Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident. The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. ... Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. Understand that there is nothing morally superior about being a sheepdog; it is just what you choose to be. ... The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day.
Nope, that's not it.

How profound...

And how do overcome the illusion that an illusion occurred?
But it is. Your negative reaction is yours, not theirs. It takes your active subjugation to them to value their reaction over your own self-esteem.
When you stop letting a person like that own you, you cease caring what they call you. And that's precisely the moment they can no longer get out of you what they want when they refer to you as a "moron" or a "coward" or a "traitor" or any of the other bullshit labels that are used to instill in you frustration and hopelessness.
I don't feel hopelessness, more like aggravation. We all get aggrevated in moments llike that from time to time...yes, even you. Now go psychoanalyze someone else.;)

What's aggravation if not the loss of hope...loss of hope in the possibilty of resolution? Aggravation requires intensification and intensification requires a fuel. That fuel cannot come from another -- it comes from inside you. Withdraw the fuel and you'll withdraw the aggravation.
Of course.
That wouldn't be nearly as interesting. But if you wish.
Aggrevation is annoyance, irritation....try as you might, aggravation does not equal hopelessness.

Don't get too excited. I'm no notary.
I will try to contain myself.

thanks for posting this.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Olbermann's comments were amazing. Too bad the Bush supporters are too dumb to understand them...they can't get past the elementary good v. evil crap.
Please define "good" and "evil".
That is my point you cannot define "good" and "evil", but if you watch Bush's speech today, that is how he tries to simplify the state of the world right now, good v. evil. And those who vote[d] for him fall for it because they are either too lazy or too dumb to actually do research.
