Thread Name: BS: Americans are truly stupid
Subject: RE: BS: Americans are truly stupid
Most things are ill thought out at the beginning. It is our job to give and by giving find meaning to improve each other.

They say there is no cure for stupid but the word itself is often said when the word ignorance is usually the better choice.

A well thought out thread might begin with the title,

"What can we teach each other?"

The athiest can teach the religious that we all hold life sacred, and that even a benificent all seeing God is no substitute for another flesh and blood person to joyously share life, be they family or a stranger.

The religious can teach the athiest that brotherhood is easily shared when a common framework is understood.

The suffering teaches us that our need to feel empathy is fullfilled by sharing moments as time goes by.
We can teach the suffering that their pain uncovers deeper levels of life and the human experience.

The homeless can teach people with homes that they have a heart and soul, they have plans and that they simply do not have a home.

The conservatives can teach liberals of their need to feel a respect for thier families is threatened by people who arrogantly feel that they know better or feel they know more. Be they humble or well to do they want to preserve the things that may have worked well for their families.

Liberals can teach conservatives that they do not think conservatives are fools but rather they are being fooled by large corporations that may feign compassion but treuly only care for their own bottom line.

Men can teach women that they want to feel they are needed. Women can teach men how they best feel needed and loved.

The ignorant teach us what it is they need to know. The well educated can teach how and where to learn.

The hateful can not be tought until they find and feel the love they are missing. The vengenful can learn that their true enemy is the fear that entered their life.

The prophets can learn that no one can handle the full blown truth of the future. Cognitive dissonance overwhelms people to the point they can not bear to think of the future if it is too challenging.

Those who seek guidance can teach prophets that they want certain mysteries to remain mysterious.

The young can teach the old that giving is a reward. The old can teach the young to guard against theolest tricks in the book.

The talented can teach us how to sing a song. We can teach them how it makes us feel.
