“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

OK - this is now getting complicated:

So just to summerize, what we have is a schism between:-

The Watsits
The PZ Myans
The Thunderfeet
The Mercutio's (a plague on both your houses)
The Couldn'tgivvaflyingfuks
and the Starbucks Lifters

Cripes. The world is depending on us. Who do we follow now? :nervous:

Is it ignorance or apathy?

I don't know, and I don't care.
It's neither. It's indifference. Read the source material!
Apathy and indifference are synonyms. They both mean lack or absence of interest.
I disagree. Apathy has a distinctly negative connotation, indifference has not...

I'm not keen on sexual banter. It prevents the real sincerity and deceit of human nature shining through. :smoke:
