My point is, that being one to critisize great logic also puts you in that catagory just explained above, the sheep... in denial that these things do happen and with that being said that person is unable to entertain the fact that it's real even in writting... so they say HAH DUMBEST POST EVARRRRRRR

"Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident." This is true.

What this means is that the vast majority of Americans are not inclined to hurt one another.
This is an arrogant american point of view founded on a faulty premise. There's absolutely nothing that makes american citizens morally superior to any other nationality. The fact that our murder and violent crime rates may be low is not a reflection that americans are "sheep", or are any less inclined to hurt one another than any other human beings. It may merely be a reflection of the fact that we have generally well written criminal laws (and other laws) and a way of government that most people in this country accept. (Yes, believe it or not, our laws do have deterrant value!).
It's these kinds of fallacious notions of moral superiority that start wars and not stop them. Don't kid yourself, we're just as violent as anyone else.

I dont think people came on s2ki to read posts like that though. Its not a dumb post, its just touchy, IMO. Sheep dogs are irrelevant to s2000's, are they not?

Word association are just for people who are bored out of their minds at work. Its for fun.
This thread is neither fun and is quite too serious for the Windy City. Plus, this thread got MOVED over to the Windy City. It was at first posted in the main UMW section. Now sorry to say, that was DUMB.

All the animal metaphors were confusing as hell. What the fvck do sheep and dogs and sheepdogs have to do with anything? Political bs does nothing but distract people from productive pursuits. I suggest everyone keep their goofy-ass opinions to themselves and get a damn job.
