eve knew better than to eat of that tree..... it is not possible to "prove" anything to anyone who already has a point of view. i will not try. although many evil people are also ignorant, the one does not cause the other. the conditions co exist. what you may think is ignorance may actually be brainwashing and mind control. that is another thing all together. i happen to think that you are wrong. only time will tell.
I didn't ask you to "prove" anything. I asked you "Can you give me ONE example act of evil that does not have ignorance as the origin???" Well....?? It is IMPOSSIBLE to brainwash or control the mind of someone who KNOWS that this is what you are attempting to do. This means that a person HAS TO BE IGNORANT in order to be brainwashed or indoctrinated. The fact that they were ignorant is what ultimately leads to the evil. This the same with EVERY case of evil. They were IGNORANT first...and everything else developed as a RESULT OF THE IGNORANCE. If this is NOT the case, I will welcome just ONE example.
Of course we should talk. I apologize for the back and forth with James. The reason I do this and have done this with you , Music, James, and a few others is because people make determinations and have beliefs without having REALLY thought them through and CHALLENGE what they believe with logic and/or facts. The problem is...when we do this...we become just as dangerous as the racists. When we believe something that is not true (which is all that racists do) then we set ourselves up for failure. IMO we have to put our egos aside for the sake of what is logical and true (when a truth can be determined). I challenge people with questions because that is the best way to get them to realize that what they thought before had not be really thought through or challenged. Anyway, If we can all agree that our religions, preconceived notions and vendettas can be left at home I think we can come together and make a difference.
In the Spirit of Sankofa and Finally! A007, Well...thank you for this reply! I am certainly all to familiar with the problems, and anxiously moving toward becoming part of the solution. james has clearly said, he will not be on the team. Even Edward said, when he was hear, our kick-off group will probably be small, and others will perhaps follow, once we get started (Obama had to win white support before we decided to give him our support, and that is understandable). The problem is as always, getting starting! As the thread starter, it is your baby, I will assist you in every way possible, as previously shared with you. It is a great undertaking, and I am glad to be with you, and a part of this thing.
i do not think that you know how brainwashing works. you are so firm in your position that you are not open minded. rather than deal with this i will agree to dis agree. you do you.
