Any more? |

I especially like "do not use or disclose the information in any way," Yeah, right. They're exposing their stupidity while trying to keep it secret at the same time. Sometimes they must wonder. |

Things like * labelling people if they say something that doesn't fit your world view (eg, "left"or "right", "liberal" or "conservative") * assuming people to have a pre packaged view within a particular set of dogma that covers a response to every issue * declaring others are "wrong" and you are "right"; and spending an obsessive amount of time proving your "rightness", .. thats enough for now |
