Re: Social Hypocrisy
freedom of speech is very important, what I don't understand is why that freedom is used so very often to express so much bitterness!

Re: Social Hypocrisy
First they came for the pikeys...
...and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a pikey Then they came for the druggies... ...and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a druggie You see 'wot I did there? Me, I think I'm still pretty comfortable in proclaiming a hatred for Nazis. Ok so I could get all wishy washy and say I hate the movement and not the person but who am I kidding, I'm a human being, it'd be nice to have such control of my emotions but were I ever to meet a Nazi I'd probably hate them. Hate is such a strong word, there's lots of people I dislike but thankfully more that I like. If I were to use the hate word then the Nazi movement and the Nazis is a good enough place to use it. You want a real example of poppy based social hypocrisy? When you see a frail little old man playing out his final moments in a hospital bed, swimming in his own urine because, well he's just a little old man... and you look around and realise that every one around is wearing a poppy to remember the sacrifice our veterans have made - veterans many of whom are now... little old men. Now that, that is social hypocrisy. |

Re: Social Hypocrisy
You'd have to define your interpretation of National Socialism for me before I decide whether you're on my Christmas card list or not As I've always understood the term, which I acknowledge might not be a correct interpretation, or your interpretation, it typically devolves into a case of tyranny by the majority - kinda like the Franklin quote "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch; liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote".
