Thread Name: BS: Double Standard? Of Course!
Subject: RE: BS: Double Standard? Of Course!
You miss (or intensionally ignore) my point... that "rob,exploit, and indoctrinate" part is not simple... it is **subjective**...it is a matter of opinion whether policy A is exploitive or not. (I am not defending any particular thing.) One man's 'exploitation' is another's 'honest competition'.
When ANYONE makes a simplistic claim, there are unspoken assumptions as premises which they are not willing...or able... to discuss. Even when we agree that some actions or policies 'tend' towards immoral behavior, there are many shades of gray in deciding how much is too much.
I suppose I am over sensitive these days as I listen to members of Congress make sweeping pronouncements and try to over-simplify complex issues.....but there needs to be MORE of me doing it!
