Problems, problems...

Do you ever, you know, believe in something that you couldn't really justify, or prove?


As an example, what makes racists racist? Are racists actually capable of morally justifying their own beliefs even after a intelligent debate, in which they cannot refute the points of the opposition? Is it too hard-wired to remove the belief?


This thought came across to me a bit ago. Thought I write it here bfoer I go, It's time for roll-call.

Its a learned thought process in my opinion. I think most people have certain views that don't make sense or cannot be justified. Nothing like blatant racism though

I see the seeds of dissent growing within you ..embrace your inner rebellion, join the people's movement, down with fascism, down with totalitarianism, join the workers in taking back what is rightfully theirs




please pick up your regulation flame thrower as you exit the building

yeah its a pattern of behaviors learned through modeling adults, peers, etc. just as no one is born believing in the ten commandments, no one is born a bigot. just think of the millions that have died defending their religious beliefs throughout history.
some things are indeed to hard-wired to remove.

p.s. im not suggesting a correlation between christianity and racism.

One of those hardwired things tends to be "I'm right, and you're wrong", in many different contexts. -_-

but yes, in the end, it all comes down to the simple fact that we should just kill people. especially those that don't think the way we do.
