Thread Name: BS: Lucky to have Jimmy Carter
Subject: RE: BS: Lucky to have Jimmy Carter
You're just believing what you want to believe, pdq. ;-) And so are all the people you disagree with. (double ;-) ) It's how the human ego functions. It first decides what it wants to believe...it then runs around collecting "proof"...it then harangues others with that "proof", while ignoring, denying or discounting any conflicting information that would threaten its beliefs. This keeps it busy and enhances its sense of identity, while comforting it with a sense of its own rightness and increasing its instinctive contempt and loathing of all those who disagree with it. It is utterly unaware of its own innate unfairness and lack of objectivity...but acutely aware of others' innate unfairness and lack of objectivity. It blames everyone else around it for its own pathological need to be "right" at their expense.

Welcome to the human club, man! ;-) We are the reason for our own distress and confusion.
