Enlightenment: a non politics thread ( Archived) (59)

Good thread

I'd say it's true for the most part.
I browse the threads while doing something else at home and the forum are a distraction for me, although I'm always alert for something I can learn from.

Some people are intolerant of some of the posts because they disturb their ideals or come too close to the actual truth.
Some people think themselves so high and mighty that they refuse to aknowledge when someone makes a good point or that they're outright correct.
I think that's where that intolerance comes from, a lack of humility.

For exemple, take the feminist man.
He thinks he supports Equality and Justice for all and feels pretty good about it. Then he reads a thread or post that completely shatters his view and burst his bubble. All of a sudden he's the facilitator of injustice, mysandry and gender discrimination. He cannot refute the arguments presented in the thread and so he becomes resentful and hateful of those who have so easily shattered his reality.

Then there are people who are simply jealous and jealousy can lead to hatred as well.

The threads you are talking about don't have any arguments, just simplistic uninformed opinions. Harvested straight from crackpot websites, I suspect. And then, irony of ironies, the ones who recognise this as rubbish are the ones who get called brainwashed.

True but I prefer not to bicker, especially with morons whose sole purpose is to make someone mad and not make a good point...because most the time they have NO argument, just insults.

Now there are posters whom I don't agree with, who have solid arguments and don't aim to insult but educate.
I love those posters, even if I don't entirely agree with everything they say.

When political views, or any view, is based on experience then the person who had those experiences cannot be swayed one way or the other because his/her arguments are based on real life, not theories and lies.
