    Very well thought insights. I should include you as one of the smart posters I've seen on here.

    You are right, but we are fighting an uphill battle because there is so much indoctrination going on in both education and church. Both sides are conditioning the lower class to think in terms of black and white: education does this by saying everything they teach (including history which is the most subjective topic) as objective and factual while religion is brainwashing their followers to believe in an all knowing God. When this happens, there are no discussions; there are only disagreements. The values they teach in education is antithetical to religion; education is not supposed to teach values, but they do this indiscreetly, which probably needs another thread to fully explain.

    We are all conditioned at birth to hate each other: for example, race is a huge issue that gets brought up time and time again usually initiated by education. Education would highly emphasize on slave history and religion would be against equality for both women's and black's rights. Education would teach open mindedness towards gays and the use of contraceptives, and religion would be the opposite of that.

    Both systems are doing this deliberately and the whole purpose is to create a poor vs poor inner conflict.

    The best thing is to be above issues that pit us against one another and to only focus what unites us, but sadly, they are systems of indoctrination, and when someone is indoctrinated fully, it is hard to convince them otherwise.

    this is probably the most embarrassing thread i ever created on ISH, and yet... and yet for some reason i choose to post again. WTF is actually wrong with me, and please don't answer that, motherfluffer.

    on a different note, i really do enjoy reading various posts by various mofos on ISH. for those of you...

    anyway, that is all, gentlemen, thank you. please keep it coming, else i'll be forced to hunt you down and shoot potato gun pellets at your feet to make you dance like sam rockwell on fallon.
