Hello:
For once, I don't want to talk about the issues that disconnect us. We KNOW what THOSE are. I want to talk about the disconnect itself.
Why is it happening? I see it from ALL sides - the willingness to lie about the other side and/or the willingness to lie about YOUR side. Before the divide became an ocean, I believed that each side BELIEVED what it was saying. The differences weren't so drastic, so it was easy to believe that someone wanted the same thing as you did, but just had a different approach. Nobody thought anyone would lie in order to get it.
However today, I can't believe that people actually believe what they're saying. I DO believe that they BELIEVE in the importance of their QUEST - just not in the little things they SAY to obtain it. So, they're able to overlook those kinds of things. When its pointed out, as a defense, they correctly point out the other sides lies too.
Now, if any of you come here to tell me YOUR side tells the truth, but the other one doesn't - don't bother - cause I'll give you my famous bwa, ha ha ha.
Want to solve the disconnect?? Let's talk. Want to continue it?? Go away.
