Thread: Century of the Self Documentary

Crocodile, don't you know that it's pointless to try to engage me in an exchange of long arguments and counter arguments....?

I read what people have to say and I think they are entitled to their opinion, and I to mine...
As long as the person is not ignorant or telling lies I respect their viewpoint. Sometimes I read and find out things I did not know before, and change my mind, but it does not happen a lot.

In the case of your views vs mine, it's just a matter of different ways of looking at the world. I am not going to be be able to seduce you with any left leaning idealism and you are not going to be able to turn me into a believer in the greatness of pro-US capitalism.

Yeah... as Lenin used to write: "Don't allow yourself to be dragged into a discussion." Those who discuss might change their minds or at least can start casting doubts in their beliefs. Just go on repeating slogans and mantras without looking around and stop your critical thinking process. Don't think - just act. Let those who write the long essays books discuss those point with each other. Don't spend your time discussing - just believe it's right. This way you would never become a brain-washed person like those poor people in the US who believe they're free and that is, in fact, the worst slavery.
