I think psychologists call that projecting.

Lotta hypocrisy in this thread.

That's...uh...nuts. A moral code is a moral code whether "the leaders" are moral or not. If you allow your moral behavior to be defined by the behavior of the ruling class, then you will never, ever have anything approaching civil society -- because you'll never, ever have a non-corrupt ruling class.

Also, he misunderstands the American interpretation of the social contract.
I think he makes a good point in that it's important to understand WHY that's happening. Empathy is a big part of the path forward.

But, I agree with you in that what Noah is missing, is that he thinks NOT looting Target won't get anything done. I think that what made the acts of people like Gandhi, MLK, Nelson Mandella, Jackie Robinson, etc. so inspirational and so great and so lasting was that they stood up to injustice without letting their anger turn destructive. They didn't stoop to the level of the people that they were fighting against.
To me, this is real strength.

I like both DC and Geezer very much. I've met Geezer and Min a couple of times and know they are very good people. I'd like to meet DC, I think he's a good person as well. It pains me to see them fight like this. Disagree, fine, but the hatred that is being displayed by both of them toward each other very disheartening.

Seems to be how we are headed as a country though.

This one is even better....although I’m not sure why him saying suck my dick and choke on it isn’t being labeled as some kind of misogynistic.


Sorry to those that don’t wanna hear or see naughty words.

Some people use this site to discuss their thoughts and ideas.

Some use this site as an opportunity to ridicule the thoughts and ideas of others.

Martin Luther King worked peacefully for civil rights for more than a decade.

The Civil Rights Act of 1968 didn't get signed until after King was assassinated and the ensuing riots all over America.

So what "accomplished" more, the decade+ of peaceful protests or the seven weeks of riots?
