Quote:This a very true and real way of looking at it all, I think today people choose to follow way too much, instead of going out there and getting it for themselves.Because that's easy. It's easy to rehash what you've learned through regular education, and have people agree with you, because everyone else has learned the exact same things. It's much more difficult to apply the things you might have learned independently to everyday life. There will always be obstacles, which unfortunately, seem to be placed by mainstream-type thinking...
Quote:As for the 'war on terrorism' from my own personal veiw it hasnt gone anywhere good, the progress of it is still the same when the whole idea started with.Which is, what exactly? It's a war on an abstract concept. In the eyes of very many people, a US war on terrorism would be a war against ourselves.
Quote:Also it has gone thru my mind a few times, how innocent people who have (their nation) gotten attacked by USA during this time or are going to, they must consider USA to be the terror in their livesNobody calls themselves terrorists. Nobody calls their allies terrorists.
Quote:Hmm for me this all seems like a huge mess and the irony in it, is that nobody is any better than they think they are.I see everyone as being worse than they think they are...ourselves in particular.
