RE: Give me more options

Comment comment by jandaman on 08 February 2008

again, it isn't an issue of bush...that was just an example...i do not think everybody needs to like him or anything else...

my critique is against those who choose not to evaluate the situation and merely decide something is bad absed upon the politcal allegiances.

remember, this isn't about which political philosphy is better...all sides are equally guilty of not listening to valid points that others make...or ignoring bad decisions their side makes...

the alternative (as i see it) is simply to be me open to what all parties are doing and not decide that something is good/bad before even looking into it...that is what my point was...there are too many people that judge without knowing what they are judging...

RE: Give me more options by AnonBCA :: NR6

my critique is against those who choose not to evaluate the situation and merely decide something is bad based upon the political allegiances.

Okay...I've never experienced an allegiance like this except exclusively among politicians...are you referring to any group of people specifically (omninerds?)

I think most people dislike certain things because of the affect that it has on them and the people around them. Therein lies the problem, sometimes your "sphere" is quite limited and is therefore exclusive, bias and impractical to the whole. Some people don't like the occupation in Iraq exclusively because they have had relatives killed and they don't understand the nature of war, someone has to be blamed. Some people don't like the occupation because of all of the issues that are occurring here and don't feel adequate attention is being given to them, this again could be an oversight of the group as a whole. Some people don't like the war in Iraq because our goals thus far haven't been concrete and uncertainty is a clear sign of ignorance, (even if the sign is "false") There are many reasons why people are for and against things. I think its the responsiblity of common people (like us) to find out as much as we can so that we can align ourselves as closely with what we personally feel is morally right. I think its morally wrong to keep people from all of the facts of a given issue.
