If someone hates another they are going to either consciously or subconsciously look for information to support their views. Thus reinforcing their opinions. They will then seek on some level to reinforce their beliefs in a self-perpetrating cycle. Call it a feedback loop if you like. I would argue it does. And all one has to do is change their mentality and they see a change. Thats evidence. Edited July 1, 2019 by RabidMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that a problem for you? I'm aware i'm not as smart as Einstein. Definitely not as rich as Mr. Gates as for this Hussein Bolt character i'm not sure i might be? As long as he's not related to Usain bolt.. It's not a problem that is not my argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed people are equals but as we are not clones of each other then we are not. It tends to be the political left who convince themselves the fallacy of everyone being equals is true. Its to protect their egos, they cannot handle that there are a lot of people out there better than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that 95% of people think the same way in society, and only 5% make their own minds up about things. Strangely enough its 5% that have the most money too. Coincidence or not?

Where are you getting these figures? 95% of statistics on forums are made up on the spot. Again your assuming i think like everyone else.

You assume all politicians "benefit society hugely" ? ! ...but to the point, If they are a convicted criminal ,which proves they are not to be trusted, you would want to return them to power where their dishonest nature could harm an entire county, state, or nation? For being a self professed superior being in all ways including intellectually , that seems kinda stupid to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmoonlady Posted July 1, 2019 #99 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The article is referring to class not intelligence. Upper class people of course think they are superior whether they earned their class level or not. What to me is interesting is what happens when they lose that upper class status. The Great Depression has ample first person writings from exceedingly rich upper class people who became poor as dirt farmers overnight. Whatever you earned or inherited can disappear like a fart in the wind and with it whatever status you thought you had. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted July 1, 2019 #100 Share Posted July 1, 2019 To me, a person who professes themselves "superior" to anyone else.. demonstrates the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
