-World-views that argue for something-for-nothing
-Quick-fixes that ignore content but focus on supposed/"understood" causes and effects (and then ignore any unwanted effects i.e. "side" effects. Bah)
-Logic used and abused as the core or one-and-only valid thinking method just coz it's psychologically appealing and predominant at the mo.
-People who think survival-of-the-fittest means survival of the STRONGEST when it means and has always meant survival of the MOST FITTING TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT...and so....
-people who think "no 1" is the best place to be, and who consequently destroy potential for survivalistically and qualatively vital COOPERATION where possible........HENCE.......making the world an overly-competitive place where we now HAVE TO BE OVERLY-COMPETITIVE to "fit" in. Oh the irony.
-Americans genuinly thinking "world" opinion is unimportant in certain key areas i.e. thinking it's possible to punch "terror" on the nose and stop it for example (and thinking that me pointing "world" views out/and how they differ from purely american standpoints is just...ME. It's not....it's the world (EDIT: well, you'd be amazed at how consistantly everyone i work with[ever-changing-international students]/know etc agrees with premises i've put forward on these forums. The point is - not only are all these opinions united, and different from the prevalent ones in america, they affect how "the world" - including the middle-east etc - reacts to american actions. Hence i've got a bit het up at these opinions being dismissed as unlikely or unrealistic or what have you) [ I spend an average 6 hours every day listening to international students. That means i have an extra right to claim knowledge of: world opinion versus insular american opinion - the latter being so obvious in how it differs from everyone else's on said key issues i.e. potential repurcussions of international actions. terror reduction etc etc etc) - sorry about this one - but it's incredibly frustrating to non-americans [as much as what i've written is to americans]. Ask one. If they're truthful and not afraid of offending you for your own good they'll tell you.
-Causing anger and confusion when all i'd like to do is stimulate love and self-motivated questioning. Heigh ho....only human
