The smell

In article , dude says... I am a Rational, live by logic and reason, seeks knowledge and a very strong skeptic with a bit of pessimism. Some would say I have a cold and emotionless personality. Since my earlier post seems to have black-holed... From what you've said so far, you sound illogical, unreasoning and driven by old fears. Your experiences with black people may have been bad but your conclusions about their race only make sense in a dark, overly personal, emotional way. Why not challenge your biases, prejudices and fear yourself before handing them to others to challenge. Fear is a major factor. Hearing gun fire almost every night in the city should scare most people. I like the serenity of the country and feel at peace. What is the reason behind all of this violence? I have a hard time believing that poverty is the main cause. I have visited relatives in the deep south that was dirt poor, teeth rotting, little food, homes that have no electricity and heat with wood and outhouses. But I saw little crime and did not feel threatened. What parts are illogical in what I have said? I try to to challenge myself often, but sometimes it needs a different point of view that others may have insights on. Billy is an example, I used chemical fertilizers and bug sprays often. What he said about using these chemicals made sense. Gave me a list of books to read to expand my knowledge. Books I would have never uncovered myself. Learning new ways of thinking often comes from others. That is why I like Billy, he challenges one. But it must come with reason and not threats. He has never used threats even on off topics like the economy. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |
